I took this at Landry's Seafood in Pensacola, Florida. This is the real photo-without any manipulation. This is a technique someone showed me. You need to have at the minimum a 1 second exposure and a zoom lens. You start the exposure with the lens either all the way out, or all the way in. I got this one with my 17-85 mm lens. I started the exposure with it all the way out @ 85 mm, and while the shutter was open, I zoomed it all the way in to 17 mm. This only works with a bright light source like a neon sign, but you can get some really cool effects in your shots. Just something I thought would be interesting for you all. If you have any more questions about the technique, I'll be happy to answer your questions. Hope you enjoy. Eli
