On a misty Friday night, your best friend is the speeding double-decker bus. In a long exposure, the roof lights on the bus streaked across more of the frame.

Friday Madness
Since I was the passenger, I screwed on a Neutral Density filter and set the camera to 6 seconds-long exposure. The hand movement and car bounce resulted in this special picture of the Friday evening mess on the road.

Some photographers might use an ND (neutral density) filter in the day to obtain a wider aperture (narrower depth-of-field). Some use it to slow down the shutter speed when shooting a waterfall, for example.
I like using an ND Filter during dusk. The reduction in light allows me to use a very long exposure. When combined with a handheld shot in a moving vehicle, the lights will streak to become beautiful art. Try this only if you are the passenger.
