Today we bring you an enticing article about long exposure photography. Long exposure photography is a technique in which a camera’s shutter is left open to expose over a longer period of time (be it 8 seconds or 8 hours). It is quite famous, trendy and somewhat difficult form of photography that allows you to witness things from a different perspective and lets you experience time in a different fashion. It enlightens your imagination to see beyond the face of an image, and to see what it can become.
So, without a further ado, here we present a list of 45 of the dazzling and unbelievable long exposure photographs that will take your breath away. We are quite sure that you will love this post whether you are a photographer or just a long exposure photography fan.

Hi, unfortunately we do not know but can we talk?
I liked the girl in the picture:)
Lol :L
These are awesome. This is quite weird though… I did one last night :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/planetperki/4501338094/
If you did one “last night,” then why is the date for the Flickr URL show as having been taken on “April 7, 2010.”
Quite trying to derail the post to shamelessly plug your own photo.
And I should learn to look at the date.. You can mark this (and my other) comment for trash instead. *shameface*
why you gotta be a bitch
’cause she is a biatch.
ouch…
I sometimes don’t set the time on my camera so that could be why. Definitely taken by the guy, check out his style of photography on his flickr “pro” (being paid for) account
Nevertheless, the photograph is still something we all must see. :)
Stunning photography! A great compilation, thanks for taking the time to put it together. The s-bend one works very well; but they are all amazing.
After seeing all these beautiful shots I can’t wait to experiment more with long exposure shots! They get the creative juices flowing, thanks :)
Agreed! My creative juices are well and truely flowing after seeing these shots. Shame there are no setting details ;-(
Nice. Here’s my contribution. 30 seconds on a moonlit night – http://bit.ly/aBq7Pb

Love the moving water shots – gotta get out my camera and try this! Will use Gimp (free with Ubuntu) to touch the shots up – I’m on disability pension and cannot afford Photo shop or Microsoft for that matter – Tip: save $ Use Ubuntu, older computer, and Gimp for your digital photos!

Cheers for the art that the exposure for a long time creates.

How would one submit their own image for consideration on this list? I just did a long exposure photo of the space shuttle discovery taking off which made Flickr’s Explore page.
These photos are absolutely beautiful…I can’t even believe it.

Wow! These are all beautiful! But I really really like the “light from within”, the one with the flowing water. So beautiful.

Such wonderful shots !!! Well done and thank you!
great compilation, thanks.
Truly striking photography, fine examples of the technique. Thank you for the collection. I am troubled by one thing, the lack of photographer credits. Yes, you did link the image name to the photographer so it is available but would it have been so difficult to credit each photographer under the title of the image? Just a thought.
Amazing shots.
Although it’s a little old, I’d say Justin Quinnell’s 6-month long exposure would be a good addition to this gallery.

Wonderful pics, I’m inspired to try my hand at this myself!
I especially like the dreamy, pastel-like quality of the daytime outdoor shots. I wonder if this is due solely to the long-exposure technique, or if a special filter was used?
These are beautiful pictures and make for excellent wallpapers. Amazing photography indeed!
What I don’t understand is how you people can keep reproducing copyrighted images on your site — especially without giving credit to the copyright holders. You are just spreading the fallacy that anything on the Web is free for the taking.
