long exposure time, meaning the shutter doesn't go as fast. like those ferris wheel ones, the lights move, you don't.

Daneille,
I don't know how that photo was made, but waving a flashlight (or other movable light source, perhaps behind a bed sheet, with some colored paper over the lens (or a colored bed sheet)) in the dark with a long exposure time would dim the light and give that color and effect.
Then with some software, such as Photoshop, you could mix and move them around.
Another way would be by shooting automobile headlights at night with long exposure times (perhaps at an airport or freeway exit so the lines would curve).
Using several exposures, you could use software to place the light paths where you wanted them.

Place the camera on a tripod. If it has manual controls, that is best.
If it has manual controls, switch the shutter to bulb. In a dark room, press the shutter release so the shutter is open, use whatever light source and move it around in the shape you want to come out. When done shut the shutter off.
If you don't have a manual capable camera, set the shutter speed for the longest you can, or to whatever the camera will do. On a point and shoot this could be very difficult.

2 ways:
1 is when the light source is moving (eg ferris wheel, moving lights etc). You do a long exposure, both for film and digital, simply choosing a long shutter time... (shutter opens longer). background has to be dark though. Or ISO low.
2nd is light source not moving (lamp, signboard, light display etc). Same thing, set your shutter speed to something that's low. Depress shutter release and with steady hands, move your camera in the pattern that you want to have.

Long exposure time and move the camera around.

i think a slow shutter speed, long exposure would work

long exposure getting good'n'drunk and waving a couple of flashlights about ought to do it. or you can skip the good'n'drunk part.
