It looks like a random blob... with what might be a face like thing in the middle

I love how it played the sound while it converted. XD

I wouldn't mind too much. That rickroll song grows on you after a while

I think this might be similar to what modern digital cameras do.
Wrong. DSLRs simply leave the sensor active for the duration of the exposure. (Each photon deposits a small amount of charge into the photosite. As the exposure progresses, the charge builds up. At the end, an ADC reads out the charge level.) The main difference between a digital long exposure and film long exposure is film suffers from problems like reciprocity failure and color shifts, whereas digital sensors suffer from noise issues, even at low ISOs.

If I had just summed rather than averaged, all the pictures would turn out white.
That's probably because your camera is trying very hard not to make each frame pure black, so it's pumping up the ISO. With manual control, you could fix that.

I'll probably download one of the ones off youtube later

Hehe, I remember this post and was going to reply to it, but I forgot.... now I did! :D
This is just simply an awesome program! The only issue is that this isn't compatible with Linux... but that can't be helped, and definitely doesn't take away from how awesome this is! ;)
I guess me or some other C/C++ versed member will port this little guy to Linux (compat with Mac) someday...

Here's an example of an actual long exposure for comparison. I took this a few years ago during a dark, cold winter night. It was below freezing out. I set the camera up on a tripod, put it in bulb mode, hit the shutter, and then went inside to warm up. I came back a few minutes later and ended the exposure. This is from a Canon 20D, 365 seconds, f/10, ISO-200. The exposure was a complete random guess.

I actually just did a photo portfolio on long exposures, I should put it up! O.O

Ok, that makes sense. I forgot that the camera actually changes the picture before it gets to the computer.
