long exposure

Long exposure is a photography technique where the camera's shutter remains open for an extended period, allowing more light to reach the sensor. This results in brighter images and can create creative effects, such as smooth, flowing water or star trails in the night sky. It captures motion over time, blending moving elements into a single frame, which is especially useful in low-light conditions or for artistic effects. Proper stability, often with a tripod, is essential to prevent unwanted blurring from camera shake during the long exposure.
