------EPISODE OVERVIEW------

Long exposure photography is a fun and creative way to capture beautiful landscape and nature images. It takes a little time to learn. So here are some useful long exposure tips to help you get some impressive shots.

1. Cover Your Viewfinder To Prevent Light Leak

The most common place for light leak to occur in a long exposure shot (especially during night photography) is through your camera's viewfinder. So you'll want to cover that up with something.

But here are some other things you can use while taking a long exposure photo:

Electrical tape
Baseball cap
Built-in viewfinder shade like on my Nikon D500

2. Use A Remote Shutter Release Cable To Minimize Camera Shake

Long exposure photography requires that your camera stay absolutely still. Otherwise, you'll get a blurred image.

3. Use A Mobile App To Dial In Your Long Exposure Settings

Sometimes it's hard to figure out how long you need to keep your shutter open for a long exposure photograph. You might know what neutral density filter to use and what your base shutter speed would be without the filter. So how do you determine the amount of time to keep your shutter open?

Use a mobile app like LE Calculator to help determine the best settings for your long exposure shot.

4. Stack ND Filters If You Need A Slower Shutter Speed

5. Experiment With Nighttime And Daytime Shots For A Wide Range Of Possibilities
