is that done with a specific camera or...? I just have one camera (a canon sureshot that's more than 10 years old right now) and I'm an amateur at best with my pics, I think.
No, think of when you take a photo you are opening a sensor in a (digital) camera to the light. The length of time that hole you opened to the sensor determines how much light hits the sensor. Now imagine I leave that hole open for a long time, like 5 seconds, instead of the fraction of a second a normal photo 'click' would be. If the light moves within that 5 seconds, the sensor will be picking up the light moving in what looks like a trail, like the people in this photograph. Most cameras can do it.
yes it will still work. Its the reason why youcan get blurry pictures if you shake the camera as you take a photo. Instead in this case the camera is still, but everything else is moving.
You're not supposed to shake the camera, the camera should be perfectly still on a tripod (or similar) while things in front of it move (like the people)
