Amazing Long Exposure Photos



Long exposure photos are so cool because they view things in ways your eyes never could. Digital Photography School has a great collection of long exposure images and the elapsed time it took for each image to come out. For some great images, I highly recommend visiting the site and looking at all of them.

That actually looks like multiple exposure rather than long exposure. I just figure the light going around the lighthouse would be solid. It looks great though!

I'm with Zo on this one. I was confused at first and after I read the photogs comments I was more confused.
I've seen a lot of lighthouses in operation. The lens shoots out a single very powerful beam of light. A time exposure should show, one beam of light since the lens was not turning. After the lens is fired up a time exposure would show a large area of white everywhere the beam of light went. Just as Zo wrote. A multiple exposure would get the result in this photo. But it doesn't take the lens 2 minutes to make one revolution so it is still confusing. Unless the rotation was timed precisely and the camera lens was opened at exact times the individual beams would be in more than those places and wouldn't line up perfectly. Something is definitely not making sense.

It IS a beautiful picture though!

(not to worry, at my age a LOT of things don't make sense)

As the photographer mentioned in his comments, the lens was not rotating during this shot. Light, however, would still bleed in every direction from the lighthouse and would appear very bright in every direction during a long exposure, accentuated by the fog. I imagine the separate beams we're seeing is due to the window frames.

I used to fool around with time exposure shots a long while back, fun stuff. I never got anything this inspired though, that carnival shot & the fireworks are fantastic!
