I’m very happy that I learned how to take long-exposure pictures.

I’ve known about this technique from a friend, and I started to experiment it a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been suddenly thrilled from something that I didn’t even imagine before watching this friend in action: the possibility to take pictures at night, in the dark, and obtain very good results. Not dark images where you can barely understand what is the subject, but very nice, warm colored images.

I took this one this evening in piazza del popolo in Rome, with my modest Canon PowerShoot A3350 (paid 90 euro), with a simple 1 second exposition.
