How do photos with long exposure not get brighter.

546 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, that’s why you either take picture of something very dark, like night sky. Or you make the picture very dark by aperture settings/sensitivity or filters. Or make the picture darker later, in photoshop.
