Hi there Friends!
Long time exposure is a trend in photography last years - I really dont like trends, I don't really care about them, always wanted to have my own style, not only in photography but also in other aspects of life - being "trendy" is something completely opposite of what I like to be!
Listening underground and original music, wearing the same trousers for 5 years, learning from my own mistakes and trying not to be like others - that is me. But back to photography topic - I simply LOVE long exposure shots! I will use the technique don't matter if it become more trendy or not. The magic is that it completely "silence" the shots - rough textures become smooth, movement is frozen in blurred motion, even light and air looks more smooth and vibrant.
Example?
Windy, wavy, stormy, loud landscape become a dreamland of calmness and silence.
This kind of magic can be achieved using the long exposure times. How long? Sometimes 30 seconds is enough, sometimes 3-4 minutes is perfect! All depend of light as always in photography!
Faster something is moving - better the effect we can have - fast moving clouds and water, rivers, falls, waves - perfect subjects!
How to get good images? Just practice can teach You the most.
I don't want to write a tutorial here. Remember that the good and stable tripod and good quality dark filters (ND) is the key to success. Remote shutter release, graduated filters, post processing knowledge is just a secondary stuff.
Digital photography is like that! First Equipment, than talent followed with software usage in later stage - landscape photography is all about it.
What I am using now? After many years of shooting with lower quality equipment - finally have my fulframe camera with good glasses and filters. About the ND filters - only the best to get the results! I am working on NiSi system now and I am extremely happy with this. If You think really serious about photography - invest the money in better stuff in the beginning, You won't regret that! Believe me, You will change the cameras and other stuff during the progress of Your passion, so having a good stuff in the beginning is a great position!
Thanks for watching and especially for reading!
