    He used a relatively long exposure (12.9 seconds) and what looks like a green laser pointer. Just trace a pattern with the pointer during the exposure.

    I do not like your sig. The analogy is flawed. If you merely use your dSLR on auto you're not taking advantage of the manual setting sure but it's not going to hurt anything. If you leave you Lamborghini in 2nd gear you're going to break things. Very expensive things.

    EDIT:
    "buying a DSLR just to shoot on automatic is like buying a Lamborghini and driving it back and forth to work"

    Gear:

    Canon Rebel XS: Gripped
    Canon EF-S 18-55mm
    Canon EF 75-300mm
    Canon EF 50mm f1.8
    Sigma 10-20mm
    Canon EF 35mm f2
    Software:
    Photoshop CS5 Extended
    Dynamic Photo HDR
    Lightroom 3.2

    your right, i just set it on bulb and held down the shutter button with one hand and drew on the wall with the laser pointer with the other hand, now that you mentioned it i shouldve just set it to 30 second exposure so i didnt have to hold and draw and draw at the same time
