File talk:City lights in motion.jpg

I would say this is a special case of motion blur - I guess this image was taken with a digital camera, as you can still see discrete pre-images before these where added up to make up the final image. The motion blur of a traditional analogue camera would show continous lines instead of chopped. --Abdull 13:03, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I am not sure what is meant by "pre images". I think this image IS actually showing the flicker of the lights and is not an artefact of the camera. Usually digital cameras which have the ability to take long exposures just open the shutter and let light collect on the CCD and then read it off all at once when the shutter closes. I think it would be impossible for instance to take a photo like this [1] and not have choppyness if it were an artefaact of the camera. I will try some experiments with my digital camera and an incandescent source.--66.66.37.147 17:30, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
