Greetings fellow photographer, When I first learned this tip about long exposure photography, I was very surprised.

First of all, just to make sure we are on the same page, this is the long exposure photography that I’m talking about…
 
 
We’ve all seen these amazing images where long exposure provides movement, mixed with daylight, to create surreal landscapes.

Here’s the Quick Tip that surprised me:

In long exposure photography, longer isn’t necessarily better.

Do you see what I’m saying? I thought if my image looked cool at a 10 second exposure, then it would blow my mind at a 30 second exposure. Guess what? That isn’t how it works.
 
 
 
From the two photos above, you can see that the Long Exposure effect was very nice at 4 seconds and almost disappeared at 29 seconds!

Bottom line – the speed of the subject movement is going to dictate what range of long exposures are going to create the best effect.
