Print Competition – LONG EXPOSURE

“Long Exposure” Good things come to those who wait. While there is no real definition to “Long Exposure” you all know what that refers to, shots that usually require the use of a Tripod. Long exposure photography is taking photographs by using longer exposure times than needed to obtain a correctly exposed photograph, either during daylight with the use of filters or else during the night with or without the use of filters, with the deliberate intent to create an effect on any moving object that is typical for long exposure photographs. Effects like blurred skies with streaks of clouds, smoothed out water like if it was frozen, blurred ghostlike people, star trails, moon trails and light trails, using an exposure time that is deliberately prolonged to achieve this effect.
