Day of the Triffids, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

Yeah, plants writhe around alarmingly much, actually. Heh, you could 
even film paint drying... Might be a bit boring tho.

Really? My camera can do that. All that's needed is to hold the shutter 
button down. SLR cameras have been doing that for decades.

Well, yeah, you need a camera where you actually have the ability to 
control the shutter speed. Most cameras don't let you do this at all. 
And even the ones that do, the maximum duration is usually 0.1 seconds 
or something. Not 20 *minutes*...

Hence, "special equipment".

My wife's powershot can take exposures of up to 30 seconds... Not 
special equipment at all.

Yeah. It's usually the higher end cameras that say "Let me know when you 
want to close the lens, eh?" :-)

I don't need to open the link to know the cartoon. If you hadn't linked
it, I would've.

Yep. Like my Nikon F65 (an entry-level SLR).
