Photo Blog #40-Long Shutter Speed Exposure

Aperture: 6.3, ISO: 6400, Shutter Speed: 2, White Balance: Fluorescent

This photo was taken after my family went out to Shoreline at 10pm to try to watch the stars, but could not see absolutely anything. I took the opportunity to take long-exposure shots of the dark landscape and city lights, experimenting with moving the cameras in different ways to get different effects. I like this photo particularly because the lights flow down like a river, and the composition really caught my eye when I had just taken it. It feels very glowy and mysterious, and I especially like the graininess from the high ISO (photographic sensitivity to light).
