Need really creative Long Exposure Ideas
May 18, 2017 11:13:30 #
I´m in a project of long exposure photography and every month we need to present 3 photos for a filter of the project. I´m counting on some of you to give me some great ideas of pictures that will really be different and creative. I´m a little square and need some help in creativity. I´m adding one of the photos that I took to the last filter and it was accepted.

There have been a couple of people that have taken star trails photos, but the photos can not be edited and to get a good star trail photo I believe you have to take many and join them together.

Get yourself a Lee Big Stopper 10X ND and go photograph flowing water, or the shore of a lake with water movement and an active sky with clouds.

How about star trails, plenty of "how to" advice on the internet.
How about light painting, "ghosts" where the subjects are initially recorded then move out of the frame during the exposure, leaving a ghost image, and shots of air traffic over a busy airport?

I like the idea of lights over a busy airport... or even catching with a telephoto lens an airplane that is landing or departing (but I´m afraid that they might think I´m trying to shoot down a plane.

Find a busy indoor area, such as an airport, theater or bus station, where you can position your camera up high. Use a ND filter for a really long exposure. The people moving around will ghost out and leave even the busiest location looking almost empty.

Great! Thank You.
Would something like cornfields with a breeze make for an interesting exposure, maybe something static like a scarecrow in the 'waves' might work well.

I've seen a surreal-looking, long exposure of a landscape on a windy day; the trees looked absolutely haunting and ghostly.

This was done many years ago by a young woman who wanted to shoot NY subway stations but was concerned about going to some late at night. The portfolio was published in one of the popular photo magazines.
