What's the Point?

It was an epiphany when I learned about the relationship between light and a camera's sensor. I thought I would share it with you. When you open the shutter,  it will happily collect and accumulate all the light it receives until the moment you close the shutter.  Accumulate!  An ember barely visible to the naked eye will be seen by the camera sensor for as long as the shutter is open. Hold the camera still and more light will accumulate in the same spot on the sensor. Move the camera and, well you see here, the light dances. Think about -- light accumulating. Wow!
