Exactly the same way as any other shot. There’s no such thing as “long exposure” in reality. Any photo whatsoever can have a trail of light in it, because any photo happens over a time period. It’s just a question of how bright it is and how fast it moves in the image.

A 1/60 shot of a fast moving car will be blurred. A 60s exposure of a rock will be sharp.
