I see a whole lot of long exposure shots where I feel like the shot should be blown out with natural light and frankly, look awful. But for some reason, the street lights and the building lights never seem to effect the overall composition of the shot. My question is how is this achieved? I tried some basic shots on top of a bridge just to see if I understood the concept I was using (I still have a Panasonic Lumix P&S, so I had to use stary night mode to get the long exposure) was working, but the shot was just saturated with the lights from the freeway streetlights...I'm just confused on how to do these shots while still avoiding the craziness of the other ambient lighting...
Thats what the shot turned out as...There wasn't much traffic, but I got the lines. It just seems like it's got so much extra light as opposed to the natural color it really is...I'm not sure...
Thanks guys!
