Nikon Learn & Explore: Shooting Long Exposures

I’m pleased to have worked with Nikon on an article about long exposure photography! The article discusses long exposure from using variable neutral density filters, photographing during the edge of night, and working with extended exposure time during the day using 10 stops+ of neutral density filters. You can read the article on the Nikon Learn and Explore Site: Shooting Long Exposures. I hope you enjoy it!

Heads up on Singh-Ray’s Mor-Slow 10 stop neutral density filters. The ring mounts are easy to keep in your backpack, and the 5 stop Mor-Slow is the perfect companion filter to the 10 stop neutral density filter for ultra long exposures. The filters stack so you can use them together or individually.

With this type of image, black and white conversion can create more expressive imagery with a fine art look. I convert to black and white using Nik Silver Efex Pro from the Nik Collection from Google. This gives you the most control over how you want the image to be portrayed. Now is great time to purchase the collection, or upgrade to the full collection $127 with discount code DSANDIDGE.

I’m honored to be sponsored by Nikon for my presentation on Long Exposure Creativity this summer at the NECCC Photography Conference. If you are in the New England area during the conference, I look forward to catching up with you. Have a great weekend!
