I typically shoot landscapes and light-beam pictures with low shutter speeds.”

PHOTO STAFF CRITIQUE
“The photographer uses the proper exposure length to illuminate the buildings and cars lining the street. The narrow aperture and long exposure allow the streetlights to star and captures long streaks of lights from passing cars. The warm glow of the lights down on the street fade away into the distance, following the curve of the road and the streaks of light receding in the distance.”
