long exposure techniques

Long exposure photography involves leaving the camera's shutter open for an extended period, allowing more light to reach the sensor. This technique captures motion and low-light scenes creatively—for example, smooth waterfalls, star trails, or light trails from moving vehicles. It requires a sturdy tripod to prevent camera shake and often uses a remote shutter release or timer. Adjusting the exposure time lets you control how much motion or light is recorded, resulting in dynamic, visually interesting images that reveal details invisible to the naked eye in quick shots.
