Long Exposure

When hearing we had to take a long exposure photo the first idea I had was for it to be directly related to the freeze photo, so my idea was going to be a long exposure of someone on a swing. However as I couldn't find a swing I had to change my idea. The first picture I took was of some cars. I've done light painting before but I struggle to draw a good picture, so having cars to do it for you is a lot better. I don't think this is a bad picture but I wanted my photo to be unique and I know this idea has been done a lot.

It was a clear sky that night so another idea was to take a picture of the stars. This photo didn't work out so well as there was a lamppost in corner so the light from that seeped in, you can still see some stars though. I decided to not go with this picture as I just don't think there's a lot to it, it's not that interesting to look at particularly.

Finally I really liked how the colours of the lights reflected on the water so I decided to see what a long exposure of that would look like and this was the result. I tried to get the lights of the cars driving by but it didn't work so instead I waited for a train to go by and got the lights from that.
