and took this picture.
It's actually a picture of the streetlamp across the street from my front porch. I didn't use any "special features" on my camera. It was on an "auto-setting" for landscape photos, that's it.
But I rather like the way it came out.

What camera did you use?
You should really use another settings, cpuld make a much better picture I think. :) Longer shutter speed should be good!

It's an Olympus Camedia digital camera. I like the way the picture came out, which is why I posted it. I was playing with all of the auto setttings (landscape, portrait, landscape+portrait, fireworks, sport, available light, beach & snow & night scene), taking a picture of the same thing with each setting to see how they came out. I liked the way this one came out.

This is a normal effect that is called "vertical smear" and appears in video systems, more pronounced in cheaper cameras (and sometimes annoying in analog ones). It is caused by the way images are formed in video, reading line by line of the image. Actually there are lot of features in professional cameras for trying to wipe out this effect, because it is annoying when not wanted (you can get this light band over the characters).
But personally, I also love this effect and usually search for it to get some mistical appearences to video shots.
