Long Exposures

Long Exposures can be fantastic photographs and you can also be creative in making abstract shots.

Long Exposure

For Long Exposures it is important to have a tripod or something solid and steady to sit your camera on. The second most important thing is to set your camera to 2 seconds or 10 seconds auto count down and/or a cable release, instead of risking camera shake when pressing the shutter.

Below are a few examples of what you can do with long exposure times:

Details: Exposure: 30 Aperture: f/3.5 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 100

Details: Exposure: 116 sec Aperture: f/3.5 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 200

Details: Exposure: 0.8 sec (4/5) Aperture: f/5 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 100

Details: Exposure: 6 sec Aperture: f/4.5 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 100

Details: Exposure: 20 sec Aperture: f/22 Focal Length: 18 mm ISO Speed: 100

Star Trails are fun to do and so amazing!
