Today i am going to talk about "lightpainting photography"/long exposure pictures . Light painting Photography is an interesting genre that uses light and long shutter to produce stunning photos. You can add drama, interest, and mood to your pictures by photographing a subject's outline against a background.
Long exposure photography is a technique that involves capturing a single image over an extended period of time. By dialing in a shutter speed that lasts 1/30s, 1s, 10s, or even an hour, it's possible to render moving subjects as beautiful blurs while keeping stationary subjects tack-sharp.
Here are some important tips for how to click long exposure pictures
STEP 1.
It is always important for us to take such pictures that the device with which we are taking the picture should not move even a bit. Due to the movement of the device, the picture will get spoiled, hence always use a tripod for these pictures by keeping it on a flat place.
STEP 2.
Just as while taking a picture, it is important that the device with which the picture is being taken should be stable, in the same way it is also important that the object with which we are taking the picture should also be stable for as long as the shutter of the camera remains open. If the object is not stable then it will not come in focus due to which the photo will be considered blurry or out of focus.
STEP 3.
In order to achieve an optimum long exposure, it's recommended to use a shutter speed of anything between 1-30 seconds - as this will capture more motion in your images, compared to a fast shutter speed of say 1/250s.
STEP 4. set your camera iso in mKeep ISO at least (50) in your camera settings so that grain does not appear in the photo. and set focus in auto mode. And if you are sure that you are focusing correctly on the picture then choose manual mode
STEP 5 .
In the settings of your camera, keep the shutter speed between 1 second to 30 seconds according to your scene and how much light you want to let in the shutter so that the photo comes out well.If you want to take a picture of the stars in the sky then keep it for 15 seconds to 30 seconds.And if you want to take a picture of a moving car then keep it for 4 to 10 seconds.
STEP 6.
