i've attempted some low light photography; and i'm still uncertain about the results.

both look good - probably too much pavement though - good exposure.

its really long exposure, low light is more where you push your camera to high iso's and open apertures

not too bad though, a little bright from the headlights, try to shoot more tail lights, the reds look much better than the headlights. Try to play with the patterns of the lights, find areas that repeat and use that streaking light to our advantage

thanks for the input guys, i think next time i'm going to try to stand farther away and analyze the area a bit more (this intersection was right outside my house, around 11 at night - i took about 7 shots) the thing i thought strange was i played around with many exposure lengths, and apurature sizes and the results were pretty much the same, i have documented at home the settings i used.
