Photography Tip: Not every picture needs to be completely "still." When I was walking through New York, I noticed how many cabs would fly by us, and I thought about how to capture on film. A technique to do this is to "drag the shutter." If you have a digital SLR camera that allows you to adjust your shutter speed, set it anywhere between 1/2 to 1/30 of a second, and then as a car goes by you, follow it with your lens, attempting to keep the moving object in the same place in your frame. As you pan while the shutter is open, the object (car) will stay relatively clear while the objects in the background (buildings) will become a blur. This creates the feeling of motion the old fashion way. And you thought everything I did was in Photoshop...
