How do photos with long exposure not get brighter.

545 views

I’m not a photographer but I have some basic knowledge of some terms. For example, when you take a longer exposure of a photo It should allow more light to enter the lense. Wouldn’t that make everything completely overly bright. However, I see many photos that look like time is just stretched like taking a time lapse. How does this work?

It does get brighter the longer the shutter. You make up for it by narrowing your aperture, lowering your ISO, and using filters to darken the shot
