Long exposure photography is undoubtedly amongst the coolest ways of taking pictures. It needs a longer shutter speed, anywhere from 1/2 sec up to a few minutes or even an hour. Long exposure photography involves leaving the shutter open for extended durations of time to allow significantly more light to be captured. Below are some great examples of long exposure photography caught by skilled photographers which might be inspirations for your next project.
