Hello Knights
Hope you guys are doing well
In this thread, I am going to talk about "Long Exposure Photography"
The idea is to keep the camera still while allowing the sensor to capture light for an extended period.

Long exposure photography is an interesting way to explore the world from a new perspective. With a little practice, you'll be able to create amazing; surreal photographs that tell a story beyond a single frame. Go outside and start capturing the passage of time.

Long exposure photography uses a slow shutter speed to sharply capture still subjects while blurring moving ones. This technique can change busy city streets into streaks of light, make rivers appear silky smooth, and create star trails in the night sky.What is Long Exposure Photography?

Basic Steps
- Find Your Subject: Waterfalls, oceans, nighttime cityscapes, and starry skies are ideal subjects for long exposure photography.
- Set up your tripod: Make sure your camera is stable and secure.
- Compose your Shot: Frame your subject so that the motion will have an impact on the final picture.
- Adjust Your Settings: Adjust your camera settings like shutter speed and ISO, for most scenarios keep your shutter speed between 4-16 seconds and keep your ISO low (100-200) to minimize noise.
- Use a Remote Shutter Release: This avoids any movement while capturing the photo.
- Review and Adjust: Check your photo and adjust settings as needed.
Tips for Success
- Experiment: Try a variety of shutter speeds and compositions to get interesting results. Don't be afraid to experiment.
- Post-Processing: To enhance the final image, adjust exposure, contrast, and color balance using editing software.
