Does work best if you have something big to focus on, but the lights were kinda cool too. Really? All these comments? It's a guest contributor... I'm sure with most all authors you have to read between the lines a little bit at some point. Is it really necessary to get our panties in a bunch? I thought it was funny (because I was mashing the button while trying to zoom out at the same time - left brain, right brain fun), but hey that's just me.

And now, I know *why* I don't. Goodness, all the snarky comments about "mash shutter butan" would have been laughable if it didn't accentuate just how petty some people can be when they feel safely hidden behind Internet anonymity. Though it wasn't much of a tutorial for me, as I experimented with those types of shots as far back as three years ago, the other suggestion with the long exposure and setting flash to rear *was* interesting. I did not, however, find the original article in any way, shape or form, offensive. Some people's responses, though, were very offensive. As others have said.. get a life, people. It's the Interweb, for chrissake. As long as no misinformation is being sown and things were being done in good natured humour (ie: enjoy a pint), then live and let live.

In this context I am pretty sure "mash" simply means press. Neil, the distance you are going to be able to zoom, and the effect itself will make it irelevant whether you are in mf or af. on the rest.. lets all take a deep breath and remember that the young like to be hip and funky... this is their God given right and not ours to mess with. the young when posting can in return remember that the old (i am old btw ) will simply be confused and then unhappy if your language is too "way out there" If you could use language that even us oldsters can understand it would be really cool. Then we can learn from you too. As Tom said, we come here to learn. as for all those responses......its not necessary to insult anyone. As for me, my canon 50d and I are off to try this directly! thankyou morts!
