There's a lot of shots out there that show long exposures at night - the effect you have is cars changing into white & red streaks of light, because you're taking the "average" of a 30 second exposure of the film to the light.
This is exactly what I have done here, but during the day (near evening actually) - the effect is the other way around - everything that moves at some speed (like the cars) don't have the time to register properly and *disappear* - this gives the effect of empty roads, while normally at this moment, hundreds of cars actually drive over the Antwerp ring road.
The little "stars" around the lights are due to the very very tiny aperture opening that has been used (F22 if I'm not mistaken) - this causes diffraction, which results in less sharp images, and as by-effect in long exposures, the "stars" - I'm not entirely sure if it's due to the F22 as it is, or due to the shape of the aperture. Surely someone with more photographic knowledge can answer this for me! :)
