This is a 30-second exposure of the Lowell Covered Bridge in Oregon. I planned this as a Milky Way shoot, but I stopped here to get the bridge lit up since I had my tripod. Gear used was Sony a6400 and Sigma 56mm f1.4. The light on the left is from a car passing by that had light blue lights. No lighting was added by me; all original from the scene. Edits were done in Lightroom Classic with masking and basic adjustments.

Another great start. The lights on the left coming through usually would be distracting in this case, but with the lights on the right after the bridge, it helps to balance it out. Do you have another shot with slightly shorter shutter speed so that the lights inside the bridge aren't overexposed (they're also overexposed on the right after the bridge)? They're overexposed on left as well, but in that spot it has direction and purpose You can also try getting a second exposure if you don't have the vehicle passing you can get that second exposure and make it last longer to get a slight exposure on the trees from the little bit of ambient light.
