One of the first techniques every new photographer loves to try is long exposure. Long exposures can improve image quality by helping to reduce noise, and they can be a wonderfully powerful creative tool that can completely change the look of an image. If you’re new to photography and wondering how to get started with long exposures, check out this great video tutorial that will get you up and running in no time.
Coming to you from Park Camera, this helpful video tutorial will help you get started with long exposures. When it comes to long exposures, it’s important to remember that they are the means, not the end. Long exposures will not correct other deficiencies in the image, and they can cause composition problems due to the way they alter the balance of the frame. For example, prolonged exposure to water can create paths that are not visible at normal shutter speeds. Be sure to consider these when building your layout. Check out the video above for the full recap.
