Tips For Exquisite Long Exposure Photos

By Christine Patterson


Photography is one of the art types that is indeed aesthetic. This allows people to keep memories in a colored piece of cardboard and keep it as proof that such memories have actually happened. There even is a saying that says photographs are the only thing that does not change which is true, although they are fading in time, they still holds special memories of places a person once have been in and keep it special. Photography has had several types and techniques especially when taking shots on specific areas and environment. One of which is the daytime long exposure photography that normally refers to taking pictures on objects which are continuously moving like waterfalls or trains and so on.

The problem that lies when using these objects as model is that it needs timing so they would end up stunning instead of blurry. Professional photographers know that there are several consideration to make the technique work. Especially trying to ensure that the motion is captured well enough to make it interesting and wonderful.

But then, there are several consideration which are in need to be covered initially before going on through the technique. One would not appreciate and understand how this works without knowing the basic considerations that would make the entire process successful. Now, first and foremost, light is the most important factor that the camera has to play with.

That makes the techniques possible so that working on different kind of light source would be efficient. Along with the light is the shutter speed when making a long exposure shots. This is when the camera opens and then abruptly close to capture the intended image.

Another factor that plays a vital role on such actions is the shutter. This would be the movement of the camera that allows the image recording. This action can be adjusted through a customized shutter speed based on the need of a photographer. But for this technique, it needs to be as slow as possible to promote more time to focus on the recording of photo, making it less crispy and blurry.

The faster the shutter speed would be a potential mess. Imagine looking at a certain point and opening your eyes and closing it as fast as you could. Notice how blurry it gets, that is how the shutter speeds are supposed to work.

The light that hits the sensor in cameras is one thing to help in capturing the motion well enough. But if it is not controlled accordingly, then it also could blur out and patch the areas making the photo look odd especially with the fact that the shutter speed are supposed to be in slowest setting.

Yes, this is tricky and challenging but once a photographer gets a hold of how its done, it usually makes the images way magical and sleeker than normal. To make this happen, the camera has to be set up in a manual mode. That would provide one the ability to change the shutter speed.

Using tripod is also preferable since it would not create any unnecessary movement giving the capturing procedure a steady flow. Then use the timer wherein the shutter is triggered after the allotted time runs out. And one is already all set, just have do a little effort to practice the setting to make everything perfect.
