These are examples of what happens during long exposures. Most night shots shots require exposures of a couple seconds, and this causes extremely vibrant, carnival-like colors to spring out of ordinary scenes!

The Magic Fountain
This picture was taken during dusk. The colors in the scene were actually drab and dim, but look what happened!
