Long-exposure, time-exposure, or slow-shutter photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements. You need to Place your camera on a tripod and focus the lens to infinity. You'll want to use a cable release to eliminate camera shake of any kind, as it will RUIN your photo. Set the camera to B “Bulb” shooting mode and set your aperture between f/2.8 – f/4 for optimal results. Depress the remote to open the shutter. there are many types of long exposure photography such as steel wool photography, light paintings, star trails, cityscapes and street life. I am going to focus on light painting's and look at the work of Michael Bosanko.
