I heart my new camera

The best thing about my d50 is that I can start doing shots like this, which I have been dreaming of since I worked at Aussie Rolling Stone in 2002 and Karin Catt took a shot of Incubus doing a similar motion. She had them in front of a blue background, though. I think I'd like to do this on a street in NYC, so you get the stream of cars plus the shape.
We used a handy bic lighter for this.

For your consideration

This is my macro funtime with some flowers in the house. The rain is keeping me from playing with my new toy outside.

I did it!
I bought the D50 with the 18-55 kit lens and I also got a 55-200 one. Hurrah!
