Convey the passage of time using long exposure…

The London Eye in action! Generally the London Eye is perceived as moving much, much slower, so I thought I’d create an image where the wheel seems to be spinning rather quickly! In real life, the London Eye moves almost imperceptibly around the sky. It took 113 seconds to create this image. This long exposure represents a single image that conveys the passage of time, and I also made a time lapse of the same location. If you have these options enabled on your camera, give it a go! ~ Deb

    Did you use a neutral density filter to be able to take a long exposure during the day?

    Hi Harry, yes I used a 10 stop neutral density filter to slow the exposure down so that the wheel has a sense of motion. I hope that helps! ~ Deb
