A long exposure is when a camera takes one image continuously for a chosen amount of time. To enable a camera to do this, the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed must set appropriately to get the right exposure. They all play a part in controlling the exposure of images. Additionally, when a long exposure photo is being shot at night, any moving source of light appears on the image as a trail of light.
Learn to master long exposure techniques for stunning night shots and understand the fundamentals of composition, framing, and exposure settings. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, this workshop is designed to enhance your night photography skills.
