29 Amazing Long Exposure Pictures
June 02, 2009
Long exposure is one of the techniques that I find the most amazing. The way that the camera captures those few seconds and you're able to see it, is really amazing. Pictures like that got a special feeling, somewhat magical.
When an image is taken including stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dash-board and moving scenery) using a slow shutter speed, interesting effects, such as light trails occur.
Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in brighter light using neutral density filters or specially designed cameras. We'd love to see your pictures! Post them in a commentary! And don't forget to visit these photographer's photostreams! Cheers! ;)

I just took some of these of firewoks! I love the effect, I think if someone who comes up with a way to take normal light and make it do that in Ps, or just add car-light-streaks to a normal shot of a city will be brilliant...
great choice!! i really love the big wheel and those of roads by night.
Another whitch i took several years ago in a tunnel for boats : http://fc00.deviantart.com/fs7/i/2005/203/2/1/tunnel_by_PercyLilou.jpg

I've always loved this style of photography, but when I try it with digital I always end up with too much noise to make a decent image.
Awesome set, I really like the falls one.
Outstanding set!
Oh my goodness these are amazingly inspiring.
I'm in love with a few of them. The 2 in the car kissing and the tunnel are amazing. Seriously. love them. I need to get out at night.
awesome shots
wao, la de la cascada me encanto, hasta ahora no e podido tomar fotos asi, no tengo el equipo, una pregunta, ¿Què cámara usar para esas fotos? es decir, yo se que una profesional, pero por ejemplo la mia es profesional sin embargo el tiempo de exposiciòn màs largo que le puedo poner es de 30 segundos, y muchas otras que e revisado tambien tienen la misma opción.
Gracias espero una respuesta
light painting rocks!!!
Check out my work!
Simply amazing, definatly given me some inspiration!
I love to mix LE and landscapes in from time to time along with doing studio photography.
These are all truly amazing it has to be said.
But I also wanted to grab this opportunity to link to my personal all time favorite LE shot:

I sense a tutorial coming on very soon, which I will be looking forward to.

Beautiful stuff. Some of these remind me of HDR.
Nice photos.

Here's a long exposure I shot of a smokestack a few years ago:

Unbelievable. Great pictures, looks like a tornado on that bridge photo, maybe it is?
Too bad the ones I like is only 1024*768. I want wallpaper! :)
Great shoots.
drooling over these..great collection!
Very nice pictures indeed. There are a few that are truly master pieces.
I'd like to share this particular page of my website. It has some long exposure photos. Since we are in the mood, maybe you'll like them.

Best regards.
what amaizing pictures ma shaalh i have saved some of theme thanks for sharing with other
Love the pics, but..... I have to ask, how much Photoshopping was done to the images? I have been experimenting with long exposure photography and have great difficulty believing that all the images were unedited.
Don't get me wrong, I love the images but once the images are edited it is art and not photography.
Definitely some good pics here. The ones kissing I like.
Some of them look HDR to me, insane if they ain't -- any way, amazing.
WOAH! I caught myself lingering on that one of the tunnel, very mesmerizing. Trippy!
My name is Harry S. Truman, and I'm irc'ing from beyond the grave. I have come here today to beg of your forgiveness for commanding the Enola Gay to drop an atomic bomb over Japan. And speaking of gay, I really love to have thick rod slammed into my hot presidential love pit.
Amazing! thanks for share
I've always love the ones with water in them because it just shows so much movement! Great selections!
Awesome collection dude.
Most of the look like photoshop work.
Theses are great makes me wanna go and try to take some photos like this.
these pictures are AMAZING!!! im an artist myself but really dont dabble in photography too often. dont get me wrong i can take some incredible pictures but these had left me in AW. like whoa some of these are one of those pictures that people say " a picture can say 1000 words..." you guys deserve props for your ideas.
Ai Paulo, adorei essas fotos ai, sao demais. Espero encontrar mais brasileiros como voce se importano na arte graphica.

your artwork is really colorful and yet so calming, I really enjoyed seeing your artwork on the different sites.
Some fabulous images, however achieved. The added value is the apt naming of some of them - well done - it adds to their impact. Thank you for sharing - they make a moment special - for a long time.
Digital photography has taken authenticity and truth from the art with the use of Photoshop. (That's not to say that we don't use it, because we do with great effect.)
Its not just about long exposure but composition and some elements of reality also. Most of these pictures have been made before.
Its now getting increasingly difficult to create with any form of originality ( if it was ever easy).
Its not really difficult to put your camera on a tripod close the aperture down to f30 and expose for 30 seconds, a minute or whatever time you like with an ISO of 100 and get a "nice result".
But a very nice collection and good luck to all who take this very fine art seriously.
Ps Just as a little post script, we doubt if any of them are high dynamic range shots as our friend higher up the list thought.Ds
absolutely breathtaking!!
oh, by the way, POA rocks!!
*I'm from here to...
Fantastic, well done !! Really nice.
