I took some long exposure photos last night. I still need a lot of practice, but these are my best efforts so far.

This first one is the street light just in front of our building. It is a 60 second exposure, which is what gives the look of the “rays” coming out from the centre of the light.

Mr. Moon is taken with a much shorter exposure. Because the moon is far away, the longer the exposure the fuzzier it gets. This was the sharpest of the shots I did take last night. It takes lots of experimentation.

This is another 60 second exposure, but with a neutral density filter on the lens, as it wasn’t very dark out yet.

I had seen this next type of photo done and wanted to give it a try. I set my exposure for 30 seconds and then after about 15 seconds, I walked into the picture and then stood very still. This gives a very “ghostly appearance”. (Had I known it was actually going to work – I probably would have tried to look a little better…LOL)
