Long Exposure and Low Light: 16 Great Results

By on in Cool Photos, Featured3 Comments ]

Shooting in low light can often be challenging.  In-camera flashes are only good for about 10 feet and hotshoe mounted flashes are only good for 40-60 feet, neither are good for illuminating large areas though.  Sometimes, the best option is to use a tripod in conjunction with a long exposure.  Most commonly shown with trailing light stars or cars zipping by, shown in this post, there are some other great uses for long exposures in low light that yield great results.  Use these 16 as inspiration to blow the dust off your tripod, go out at night and capture something wonderful – and share in the comments!
