A long exposure is when you allow the shutter of the camera to open for a longer time.
While in a normal picture the shutter is open for 1/125 seconds, this one needed 8 seconds to come through.
This is the most common frame taken by an amateur photographer (after sun-set)..
This picture was a double exposure with my 3 in. side of my pinhole camera. The exposure time was 24 seconds on my face and 20 seconds on the bench. This was my hardest picture to take because I couldn't get the exposure time down.
Long, long, long exposure: For this shot i kept my shutter open in a dark room, moved around and switched a light on and off. No Photoshop involved here.
A March snow and a reluctant teenager in a red sweatshirt, check out the Smileyface on the back of the Durango, the overlapping exposures make it look mean!
You probably noticed on a couple recent photographs of mine the phrase “Exposure blending”. Exposure blending is similar to HDR technique but not as complicated. Its purpose is the same as HDR, that is: to produce better exposed images (no over or under exposure). I am not sure how ‘exposure blending’ is supposed to be done “officially” but I will share with you how I do mine, using this image as an example.
The original image of this shot was very similar to this with two exceptions: 1) The sky was overexposed (too much highlights). 2) The car was underexposed (too much shadow). So I uploaded the image to Gimp and using the Levels option I lowered the Input Levels centre indicator (arrow) to 0.5 (this gives me an underexposed image) and saved it as, for example: dark. Then using the original image again, I increased the same arrow’s value to 1.5 (this gives me an overexposed image) and saved it as, for example: bright. So now I have two images, one overexposed and the other underexposed, along with the original of a total three images.
Then using Photomatix (the same software I use for HDR) I opened all three images with its ‘Exposure blending’ feature. The feature has an ‘Auto’ mode and for most of the time it works well, so I just needed to save the finals image as for example: original_over_underexposed.
What this feature does is pretty much takes all three images and combines them together as layers stacked on top of each other, combining the overexposed image’s highlights with the underexposed image’s shadows on top of the original image. So now the sky’s shadows are visible along with the car’s highlights :)
PS: It looks like 'exposure blending' gave the building a cartoonish look too! But I like it :)

Yeah, I finally got something decent. Bought a 5 euro campinglight at the local chinese shop, waited for the almost fullmoon and a bit of clear sky. And this is the result!
Special thanks to ~ jules ~ for inspiring and helping me!
Taken on 1 exposure, no other photoshop than adjusting exposure/brightness a bit.
Long Exposure somewhere in the wicklow mountains of Ireland.
Hope you like this picture, any comments are always welcome.
Modified of course if you know me I found something great, and still had to modify it.
This is, for all intensive purposes, a no photosensor light meter. I guess an exposure slide chart is better way to call it. I found it at: expomat.tripod.com/
Handy little chart that allows me to see what my proper exposure should be for my meterless cameras. I modified it just a little, but to show what the markings should be for 10 Stop ND filters. I also added 1 sec indicators for 9 stop and 3 stop.
Of course I didn't stop there… this papercraft has a window, so I added a plastic window just to make it a little more rigid and durable.
I sent my redone chart to the original creator. I don't know if he'll republish it, but if anyone wants a copy of this handy chart, please feel free to message me and I'll send you the link to my modified version.
Slightly longer exposure version of my earlier posted "aloC ispeP" shot.

This photo was taken as Exposure Leeds’ Talk and Social on 1st Feb 2012. At the end of Carolyn Mendellsohn’s really interesting and informative talk on Portraiture we had the opportunity to get into groups and have a go ourselves.
This photo is probably the best shot I took during that session and is shown as shot (i.e. with post production corrections). It’s interesting to note how the right side of Rod’s coat has picked up a colour cast from the surroundings.
Big thanks to Rod for posing and all his advice. I now want to go away and do some more experimenting with on-camera flash – so I know how to get the best out of it, and it’s limitations, in fast moving situations where I don’t really have the option of going off-camera with the flash.
