Master Long Exposure Photography in Minutes

In this video, I explain how to set up your camera for Long Exposure Photography in an easy way. NO NEED FOR GUESSING OR APPS!

Unlock the secret to perfect long exposures—no guessing, no apps! In this video, I’ll show you a foolproof way to set up your camera, especially when using 10-stop or 15-stop filters.

If long-exposure photography has you feeling unsure or frustrated, this guide is for you. I’ll break down the settings you need and, more importantly, how to use them effectively.

Too often, I see photographers wasting time guessing their settings in the field. This can cost you the shot! But with one simple trick, you’ll never guess again—and no need to dig for a phone app.

This hack works with any camera or filter set, and once you learn it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!

Cheers
Gary Gough
