long exposure photography

Long exposure photography involves using a slow shutter speed to capture more light over an extended period. This technique allows the camera to record movement and detail that would be invisible in a standard shot. It’s often used to create artistic effects like smooth waterfalls, streaks of car lights, or star trails in the night sky. To do this effectively, a tripod is usually necessary to prevent camera shake, ensuring sharp images of static objects while capturing dynamic motion. Overall, long exposure creatively reveals scenes in a way that emphasizes motion and light in a single, thoughtfully composed image.
