in the past when i've taken long exposure shots of traffic on roads, buildings etc. they frequently came out greyish rather than black. the general exposure was ok, subjects weren't too bright or dark just black wasn't quite black.
i seem to recall reading briefly somewhere about shutter speeds greatly affecting the amount of black you get in a long exposure. are there general rules of night shots/long exposures with regards to shutter speed vs aperture.
my usual method was to take a variety of apertures and shutter speeds but i'd like to nail it down a bit more.
thanks
