A collection of really nice long exposure photography.
Let’s talk strategy…
| Shot | Goal | Settings | Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silky Water | Turn a rushing stream or waterfall into smooth glass while rocks and trees stay crisp | Manual mode (M), ISO 100, aperture around f/8 to f/11, shutter speed 1 to 5 seconds | Look for water flowing over multiple levels of rocks, timer and tripod to prevent shake, watch for overexposure |
| Urban Light Streaks | Capture vibrant ribbons of red and white light from car head and taillights against a static city street or highway bridge or dark country road | ISO 100, aperture around f/8 to f/16 for deep focus, shutter speed 5 to 20 seconds (adjust based on traffic speed) | Shoot during “blue hour” (right after sunset) so the sky retains a rich blue tone instead of pure black as a creative option, but night can be good too! We are running out of light in Vermont |
| Ghost Town People | Make a crowded public area or sidewalk look completely empty (or ghostly) by blurring moving people into transparency | ISO 100, narrow aperture f/16, shutter speed 15 to 30+ seconds | Anyone standing completely still for the whole exposure will remain visible, while anyone walking past will vanish |
| Light Painting | Draw shapes, glowing orbs, or abstract lines in total darkness using a small flashlight, LED wand, or sparkler | ISO 100, aperture f/8, shutter speed 15 to 30 seconds (or Bulb mode) | Wear dark clothing so you don’t show up on camera while moving through the scene |
| Drifting Clouds | Transform flat, stationary skies into streaked, dramatic brushstrokes across a landscape | ISO 100, aperture f/11 shutter speed 30 to 60 seconds (or longer using Bulb mode) | Look for windy days when mid-level or high-level clouds are moving quickly |
