There’s something quite incredible about long exposure photographs.
Most photography uses extremely fast shutter speeds, only allowing light into the camera for a fraction of a second, but when longer exposures are used there can be some remarkable results. Static objects are revealed in heightened detail, while anything moving becomes a blur. At nighttime, long exposures can reveal things invisible to the naked eye, while moving lights become streaks and trails. This post shows a couple of my favourite long exposure photographs – all credits given where possible.
The photos will be easier to see the detail on by clicking them to show the fullest size I have.
