So, you got a rough idea on what exactly is long shutter photography. Now, how to take them?
Technique
To take amazing long shutter photographs, you have to first learn and completely understand what exactlyShutter Speed is. Shutter speed for a camera is for the time the light sensitive film is exposed to the light outside. Getting back to shutter speed, camera metering instruments measure them in a range of reciprocal of time. Eg: 1/30, 1/500, 1/1500 sec. etc.
These are the time for which your shutter will be open while taking a particular photograph. Higher the shutter speed, you�ll have to handle the camera well to avoid any jerk as a slight jerk in this setting can ruin your photograph. For this, use of a tripod is recommended. Some cameras have bulb mode that enables you to let your shutter open as long as you keep the button pressed.
2. Custom Bokeh Shapes
According to Wikipedia, the definition of bokeh is:
"In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or �the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light�
Bokeh is a word derived from Japanese, which means �blur� or �haze�, or boke-aji, the �blur quality�. The Japanese term bokeh is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.
Without a doubt, bokeh is one of the most interesting and sort after thing in digital photography. And it�s indeed evident from the following photographs.
