Ultra Long Exposures


Creating Long Exposure images is an art unto itself…

 

It takes time, but time is also the key component of the exposure as well.  

 

I love doing this style of photography! I bring a small stool and plop down on the beach or mountains  for hours on end.  It is both peaceful and inspiring and I take great joy from the process!

I does not matter how you shoot, Film, Digital, Infrared or B&W, it all works!

Some of the work shown here are longer than 8 min (480 seconds).  They take time not only in camera but the setup, filters and subject choices have to be wisely considered.  Information about each is under its image.   

This post is a small gallery highlighting subject types and styles, showing you what is possible with a camera (ANY), ND filters and a tripod! 

I hope that you enjoy them!
