Today we bring you an enticing article about long exposure photography. Long exposure photography is a technique in which a camera’s shutter is left open to expose over a longer period of time (be it 8 seconds or 8 hours). It is quite famous, trendy and somewhat difficult form of photography that allows you to witness things from a different perspective and lets you experience time in a different fashion. It enlightens your imagination to see beyond the face of an image, and to see what it can become.
So, without a further ado, here we present a list of 45 of the dazzling and unbelievable long exposure photographs that will take your breath away. We are quite sure that you will love this post whether you are a photographer or just a long exposure photography fan.

The next time I read a web site, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as considerably as this 1. I imply, I know it was my option to read, but I essentially believed youd have a thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about a thing that you just could fix for those who werent too busy searching for attention.

fits perfectly for the "long time exposure" topic though don't you think? puts the perspective of time in a new light. though she was modest enough to claim the fault right after (AND keep it up), you all still flock at the chance to ridicule her long after it happened. all while never commenting on the base topic to begin with... tsk tsk

WOW, you guys! Jordan posted in June and assumed Piyanisll did too. She realized after busting him out that he actually posted on April 8, so the time stamp on the photo of April 7 was "last night" when HE posted, not when SHE posted. When she realized the mistake, she owned up to it.

And I should learn to look at the date.. You can mark this (and my other) comment for trash instead. *shameface*
More than a year ago
If you did one "last night," then why is the date for the Flickr URL show as having been taken on "April 7, 2010."
Quite trying to derail the post to shamelessly plug your own photo.

What I don't understand is how you people can keep reproducing copyrighted images on your site -- especially without giving credit to the copyright holders. You are just spreading the fallacy that anything on the Web is free for the taking.

These are beautiful pictures and make for excellent wallpapers. Amazing photography indeed!
More than a year ago
Wonderful pics, I'm inspired to try my hand at this myself!
I especially like the dreamy, pastel-like quality of the daytime outdoor shots. I wonder if this is due solely to the long-exposure technique, or if a special filter was used?
More than a year ago
Amazing shots.
Although it's a little old, I'd say Justin Quinnell's 6-month long exposure would be a good addition to this gallery.
More than a year ago
Truly striking photography, fine examples of the technique. Thank you for the collection. I am troubled by one thing, the lack of photographer credits. Yes, you did link the image name to the photographer so it is available but would it have been so difficult to credit each photographer under the title of the image? Just a thought.

Love the moving water shots - gotta get out my camera and try this! Will use Gimp (free with Ubuntu) to touch the shots up - I'm on disability pension and cannot afford Photo shop or Microsoft for that matter - Tip: save $ Use Ubuntu, older computer, and Gimp for your digital photos!
