Some distortions of photography are unavoidable. One of them is the space compression that condenses three dimensions down to two, eliminating depth. The other is the elimination of time. Well, actually time is included in a picture. In order to make a sensible and clear picture it is often a very brief moment that is captured. However, especially at night, a long moment can be captured. Minutes to hours can be recorded if the light levels are low enough. If nothing moves things still look clear. However, when there is movement, it is the sum of all the movement which is recorded. This can produce an interesting image.
This is some bougenvillas that were waving in the breeze. The exposure is many minutes long. It is also intentionally longer than needed and this has turned night into day.
