How to take CREATIVE LONG EXPOSURE photos

One of the things that makes long exposure photography so striking is how it has the power completely alter your viewer’s whole perception of a place. With a long exposure, you are dealing with an extended passage of time, compressed down into a single image. It’s a form of photography that is very far removed from making images of the world we experience in daytoday life. You can use it to create images that play with our perception of reality. Images can be more surreal, more dreamlike.

Long exposure is also a great way to make your shot immediately say “This photograph is not a snapshot.” It gives your work a gravitas that commands attention. It can also bring out the best in you as a photographer, because it forces you to take your time and think about every detail of your shot.

But there’s a lot more you can do with long exposure than you might think. It’s so much more than just lighttrail night shots of cities and black and white ‘art’ images of the sea. There are many creative and interesting ways you as a photographer can utilise long exposure to make images that really capture people’s attention.
