Both long exposures and panoramas are great ways to create eye-catching shots that encourage viewers to stop and really consider every detail in the frame. Combining them takes a bit of careful engineering, but the results can be well worth the effort. This great video will walk you through how to capture them and what kind of results you can expect from the process.
Coming to you from Attilio Ruffo, this amazing video will show you the process of creating a long exposure panorama. As you will see, when using something like 15 stops ND filter, your exposure time will be up to many minutes, and when you take eight or ten pictures to create a panorama, you can easily spend an hour on just one photo, so remember to plan plan for this. Since elements like clouds can move in significant amounts through such exposures, be sure to take a quick look at the seams to make sure you don’t need to smooth anything out in Photoshop. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Ruffo.
