- How to take CREATIVE LONG EXPOSURE photos
One of the things that makes long exposure photography so striking is how it has the power completely alter your viewer’s whole perception of a place. With a long exposure, you are dealing with an extended passage of time, compressed down into a single image. It’s a form of photography that is very far removed from making images of the world we experience in day-to-day life. You can use it to create images that play with our perception of reality. Images can be more surreal, more dream-like.
Long exposure is also a great way to make your shot immediately say “This photograph is not a snapshot.” It gives your work a gravitas that commands attention. It can also bring out the best in you as a photographer, because it forces you to take your time and think about every detail of your shot.
But there’s a lot more you can do with long exposure than you might think. It’s so much more than just light-trail night shots of cities and black and white ‘art’ images of the sea. There are many creative and interesting ways you as a photographer can utilise long exposure to make images that really capture people’s attention.

It is important to keep in mind that for the first 100 years since photography was invented/announced in 1839, every photograph was essentially a long exposure picture. Daguerre's first famous image of 1939 in Paris, had a man with his shoe being shined in the urban landscape, deliberately placed by the photographer himself to fixate a human figure (two in this case) during the 5 minute + exposure, not unlike the "Lucy & Simon" photos, for all the urban arena was blurred away so the steets looked completely empty but for those two people . And portraits required strange mechanical supports for people's heads so they remained still, while the eyes looked oddly blurred because of all the blinking during the 8, 9 minute exposures for a daguerreotype immage. So, long exposures, far from being a trend, were the norm for photography until the 1930s when the so called "rapid" film was introduced.
Dude, you are easily one of the most influential photographers / thinkers when it comes to taking photos. You are so gifted at demonstrating a concept and communicating it interestingly
Absolute premium content, Jamie. Focused, cinematic, and lots to learn from even when you feel you already know a thing or two about it. Makes me want to drop everything I was doing, grab my camera, tripod, and an ND and try my hand at some long exposure stuff. 😍
Same❤
As a soldier in Germany in the early 80th I teached other to use long time exposure for making beach-photos without too many people… you put me back 40 years…. This is a remarkable piece of art, just on the point! Thanks a lot… 👍
I rarely comment on YT videos - but I want you to know I am SO GLAD you are back. I have been waiting for six months for this. Not only because your videos are the best on YT but also because I know you’ve been dealing with a lot of challenges lately and I considered a new video to be indicative of you not only dealing with but overcoming those challenges. Oh. And I’m not even a photographer. I just appreciate the quality, artistry and thoughtfulness of your videos and the messages they convey. Thank you for your body of work, Jamie.
I never comment on youtube but this has to be one of the best photography videos I've seen so far. So informative, extremely well put together. So much information in such a short span. Absolutely incredible mate!
I could watch your channel for hours. Such a well written, informative and put together video. Thanks Jamie and welcome back!
true!

Yes
me too!
I agree ..very informative, well researched and the narration is very professional
It's 3:30 am and 'm watching your video for the third time. I expected a tutorial, but you have given us a work of art. Your narration, your music, your edition have moved me so deeply. Thank you so much.
Actually was so happy to watched this video that I wanted to leave a comment. Than I saw your comment and when I looked at the clock it's 3.15 h already 😂 You still wining
So very well said!
Yes! Just got my coffee and pressed play! Looking forward this one Jamie! Lets go.
Thanks for including my work, Jamie. Cheers.
I am going to take a long exposure at the cinema, see how long before I get kicked out while explaining what I'm doing.
😂😂😂
Ik heb kanker

Ive done the sat vefore you posted this message , mate , soooo now what you to do ?

There are channels where you go to multiple times and still not subscribe to them and then there are channels like this, you cant go away without subscribing to it. Absolutely fantastic work. Thanks alot for your time.
It's really good to see you back. Just a couple days ago I was feeling down about not seeing you for a while and thinking I'm stuck with my current perception. Now I just saw this one, seeing you is great and I'm literally packing my stuff to go out and try new stuff that I got inspired by the video! Thanks and welcome back, friend.
Regarding long exposure noise reduction, my professional career was selling, among other things, CCD sensor based laboratory imaging systems. Imaging of light emitting lab samples (chemiluminescent western blots) could take several minutes to hours. All of the systems I sold could do what we called, “dark frame subtraction,” but interestingly, they allowed storage of the dark frame files. It was generally thought you could use the stored files for the long exposure noise reduction as the chips noice characteristics didn’t change much over time. Interestingly, the FujiFilm system I sold had software that let you run a calibration routine overnight during installation that created all the dark frames needed for exposures of seconds to hours. It’s interesting that no camera manufacturer has included something like this.
This is probably the BEST overall quality educational style video on youtube. The importance of each piece of information, how well it's communicated, the edit, etc. great job. I'm going to try this stuff this weekend.
Never clicked a video so fast in my life. I'm a few days late but seeing that the views have already gone up to 70k makes me so happy for you. We really miss you! Glad you're back Jamie.
So much knowledge communicated through one video yet never to the point of overwhelming the viewer. Flippin class. I would imagine this took a lot of effort unless you're some sort of wizard. Thanks so much. Your time, effort, knowledge, and skill are all appreciated.
I've only watched half the video so far and I feel like I've learned a dozen things. I've been needing inspiration for photography lately. I mostly focused on wildlife/nature for my first four years. I really wish I bought a camera much sooner in my life. It's seriously one of my favorite hobbies that I've picked up. So much room for creativity.
Thank you for this video. I am a professional photographer and I take thousands of photos each month. Over the years I have lost passion for photography as a creative art form. After shooting and processing all day every day, the last thing I want to think about is getting a camera out for personal reasons. This inspires me to take all the rules that are imposed on me as a commercial photographer and break them for my own amusement.
Jamie!!!! Sooooo glad you're back!!! You were MISSED GREATLY!!
I am a small RUclipsr in the photography genre, and after watching a few of your videos, I know I have a very high bar to reach! You are now my inspiration for improving my story-telling, video editing, and visual effects. Excellent work!
Excellent video Jamie - your editing gets better every time. I had no idea there was such a thing as a pro mist filter although now I've looked them up, they're more expensive than I hoped! Lucie & Simon's work is brilliant even for those with memories of lockdowns from 2020/21. It's intriguing to know that their work pre-dated Covid. Finally, great to see you photographing some familiar scenes since you moved out of London - hope the relocation has worked out well for you.
You can try a "poor mans" pro mist. Get a relatively cheap UV (lens protector) filter and lightly spray the outside with hairspray, I mean a very light touch - I hold the can about one meter away and quickly give a single pass EDIT: you're going for an even mist coating, no drops or globs, so you might want to test to see what the appropriate distance is to achieve this. And use an aerosol, it produces a finer mist than a pump bottle. Let it dry and screw it on and take a shot. If it's too much you can clean it off with alcohol and try again with less spray, or if the effect is too subtle, well you get the idea. In the old days when I was a camera assistant on low budget film sets we used to occasionally pull a piece of nude pantyhose across the back of the lens before we mounted it into the body to produce a similar effect, but I would never do that with my DSLR lenses/body lol.
@@TheIronDuke9 thank you for the suggestion. I've probably got a few old UV filters that aren't being used so I'll give the hairspray idea a try. I've seen a number of post-production Photoshop techniques that mimic the same 'haze' but I'd rather get the effect in-camera so will experiment with old filters as you suggest.
And yes, I'll probably resist forcing pantyhose/tights in between lens and camera!!
@@TheIronDuke9 I remember using that pantyhose trick with my Mamiya RB67 many, many years ago. Brings back great memories.
One of the best on RUclips about photography: appropriate blend of philosophy, craft, and presentation. And those spectacles nail it.
Great explanation, great tutorial and incredible work with the final video. You have a huge video editing skills: the music that you choose for backgrounds, the video cutting techniques, the use of monochromatic and duochromatic image stills, etc., give the video an insane dynamism. It's always a pleasure watching your videos.
Thanks, Jamie, to work so hard. Please, keep on.
Once again proving yours are the best photography videos anywhere. Always top-shelf, you've done it again with this one.
Love your channel Jamie, so inspirational and superbly filmed and narrated. Thank you 🙏
Jamie you're editing for the how-to section is superb. The music, color and text effects are actually fun. Brilliant.
I appreciate the effort you have put into making this video … super informative and very well presented!! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us! 🙏
So glad you are back. Your presentations so often venture into areas that are seldom explored elsewhere. Thank you.
Well done Jamie - really good stuff. As a pro with 50 years experience I have used long exposure techniques in the past but your video has re-inspired me to get out their and have another go.
Also your technical run downs in Part 2 are faultless.
Wish more You Tube videos were so professional and accurate ... and inspiring.
I'm getting a subtle Ocean's Eleven vibe with the glasses you are wearing (Reuben) and the style of the video (frames in moving boxes and the camera work).
I love it! Well done!
This is such a well made video! The way you clearly articulated what you said made it really easy to follow and understand. And your editing is really cool! This could've easily been a much simpler video for you to make, but the extra effort you put in made this awesome to watch!
I am SO glad you are back, Jamie.
Back with a new Fuji Medium Format.
And back with better editing than ever.
I hope Bath is wonderful, mate.
Great video as usual, Jamie. However, I believe your description of Long Exposure noise reduction could benefit from some elaboration. While it is in a vague sense true to say that the process serves to remove imperfections from an image, a more accurate way to describe the process would be to say it subtracts thermal noise produced by sensor and circuits heating from the image, and possibly any light leaks falling onto the sensor while the dark frame is being exposed (which would actually be adding imperfections to the image). Another technique used in astrophotography is the flat frame, which not as useful for conventional photography, might be considered necessary by the technical photographer seeking the next level of perfection. A flat frame (or average of a series of flat frames) serves to remove light transmission biases that occur throughout the optical path of a photographic system, so that any imperfection in the transmissivity of that optical system are neutralized, broad hotspots and dark areas being corrected to become of equal average intensity throughout the frame. I realize this is all a nitpick, but I think it is worth a mention for those who are seeking a deeper understanding. Also, while the dark frame reduces pattern noise, it increases random noise, which might be a good thing from a creative perspective. And also, a photographer can create a reusable library of dark images so that this process would only need to be done once, albeit creating a complete library for different temperatures and exposure times would be a daunting undertaking. The solution to that is to scale the intensity of dark frames for the desired time. This still requires a small library of frames, and a method and/or software that would simplify the process. In astrophotography, dark frames are a must, but then again, the light levels are magnitudes lower, reaching down to photons-per-second and even lower quantities.
you can feel every minute of work that has gone into producing this video. Pure value
I must say I was really blown away by the idea you are conveying to the viewers!! Great content!! Thanks for sharing and keep inspiring ❤️
Thanks for the rich technical how to, artistic pointers, and examples. 3 out of 3 is rare.
Yet another amazingly well done, beautiful video! Mastery comes with practice and anyone can tell by looking at your work and knowing your very long efforts. Hats off to you Sir.
Always loved Henri Prestes. A bit of the aura you get from a Gregory Crewdson image.
This was fantastic. It was just the spark of inspiration and creativity I needed. I've been struggling with portrait photography, I've been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 2009, and I'm getting burnt out on the drama of dealing with clients. It seems like photography has turned into managing customer service. I'm wanting to get out of portrait and wedding photography and switch to something more artistic and creative. I can't wait to try some of the tricks and ideas here! I've played a little with long exposure in the past, but didn't have some of the knowledge you shared here. Thank you!
Jamie, so glad you're back You were away for too long. Your videos have more thought and good ideas than any other RUclips channel.
I'm genuinely impressed with this video. It's the first video of yours that i've watched and i subscribed at the first minute of it. Incredible video editing and very well written script. Love it!
Truly, I wish I had some constructive criticism but I just quite like it like this. Well done m8, now take it further. Enhance!
I'm glad to see you again with a new video. Thank you and good luck with your upcoming projects.
Amazing! So far the best I´ve seen in the past few years! Thanks for your hard work in creating these videos!
One of those rare videos that discusses the art of photography and the potential ideas for using the tools, rather than the nuances of the tools themselves. Really enjoyed this Jamie.
In the world of everyone with a camera and lens teaching photography on RUclips wasting my time, your channel is a gem. Please put out more content, I'm having rewatch you videos just to get the edge off the all the other crap I'm watching online.
I use long exposure for catching lightning during monsoon season here in AZ. Thanks for sharing this gives me inspiration & new ideas.
Alexey Titarenko is my absolute favourite photographer of all time. Tremendous work 👌👌
This is one of the best videos that I have seen. So crisp and clear. Very educational. Thank you very much!!
Nice! Great informative video! Subscribed. Now excited to try some long exposure shooting
Nice video. Love the mixture of teaching the technique and a romp around famous photographers work. Thanks.
Ahhh so good to see you back Jamie! Thank you for another phenomenal video - I've definitely been doing way to few long exposures...
6 minutes in and this must be the best photography video om youtube. a feel of drama and so much easy-understandable knowledge....
Good to see you back. Best explanation on how and why to use long exposure.
Often I'm intrigued or informed by a RUclips video. Just now I was inspired! Thank you.
This blew my mind, I never looked at long exposures like that. Only used it to photograph car light trails, and silky smooth water. It literally opened up a realm of possibilities in my mind. So glad i found this video, subscribed.
What a well crafted video. Graphics, voice over, examples, pictures, sound... just perfect.
Well worth the wait - inspirational stuff. Great to see you back.
Thank you Jamie!!!!! I was ready to get rid of my gear from lack of ideas ….this really opened up a new world.
Gracias!!!!, Gracias!!!!,
RUclips decided that I should watch this video and I am grateful for that!! SUBSCRIBED straight away. Great calm voice and tons of information without flapping about anything other than the main topic. Thank you!
What is outstanding about Mr. Windsor is, he always brings other artists along with his own advices and masterpieces which doesn't let you feel out of touch and unconvinced and it all makes sense in the end :)
Good on ya buddy, keep doing what you doing. Thank you for sharing this!❤
You’re such a boss, I really REALLY hope to meet you in person some day! Thanks for doing what you do.
One of the best videos about long exposures on RUclips! Great work!
I love seeing that you have a new video up! Thanks for what you do!
Wow. There's so much great information in this video Jamie and it's so well produced. Thank you and welcome back.
Great video. Many ideas to discover a new world in photography. Congratulations!!!!
Thank you for this video. You gave me so many new ideas! I should watch your content more often!
This video is quite high quality! Very well researched, inspiring examples, no shouting , calmly presented, useful tips and explanations... why can't all youtubers make videos like this
It's been a while since I did any long exposure work. I really enjoy taking long exposures of waterfalls and rapids. You've got me itching to take my camera for a walk.
This was so good and wow so many creative ideas and amazing photography and photos. Thx for sharing!
I truly missed your videos, Jamie, thanks to be back and inspire us once again
This is one of the most quality video i have watched! Great job Jamie !
How I missed your excellent work! Can’t wait for the next one!
Superb video, thanks! I am always amazed at your editing and graphics in your videos. No one does it better!
A shining example of combining knowledge and experience with great instructional design. A+!
Really really good to see you back Jamie, my favourite photography based channel on RUclips by far. Hope you and the family are well!
good old RUclips's suggestions. This popped up as a suggestion and it is one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you very much for pulling this together, I've got loads of ideas now (finding time is another matter) and a lot more to find out about.
Wow !!!! Totalement créatif et vraiment inspirant, merci beaucoup. Je n'ai pas d'autres choix que de faire des photos avec longue expositions !!!!
May I say, sir, that you are by far hands down the best that the RUclipss have to offer. Your videos are excellent and I can´t wait to watch the next one. I´ve been following you for long and it awes me to think of the amoung of work you must have put in these. Keep up the great work. Thank you Jamie.
Thank you
Love long exposure photography. Thank you Jamie.
My friend introduced me to front or black end flash with long exposure while I was just starting to shoot house shows and bands at smaller venues. Still my favorite way to shoot photos at parties, concerts, etc. I love playing around with it
i used to go out, take photos, even win awards for them but i havent touched my camera in 5 years. After watching this video, i do wanna do it again right now. good content!
From Lisbon. I appreciated your video on different photography. Thanks for a new view of exposure photography. Thanks.
Great examples featured in the first half and tutorial/info in the second. Thanks!
Top notch video. Incredible photography
I've had my ND 1,000 and 10,000 since preparing for the eclipse in 2017, but now I have a newfound interest in doing some long exposure photos! thanks to you! Cheers
I was worried when I noticed you stopped uploading videos... And now so happy to see your channel active again!. Hope you have passed the pandemic ok!.
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
Another excellent informative video, ... great to have you back.
This is one of the best produced videos I've ever seen, brilliant work. It's also very informative and useful, many thanks from me.
I love to experiment, and this has opened a huge world of possibilities. I can't finish exploring this. Thank you.
It's always a great day when you upload, Jamie! Fantastic video!
Welcome back Jamie!!!
I always learn something from you, thank you!!
I hope that everything is fine now and that we have you here again!
