How to Take long exposures without filters

In this video, I create long exposure/fine art photography images with no filters!

The only ingredients required to capture long exposure photography is a sturdy tripod and a little know-how!

iFootage Tripod TC6
Carbon Fibre + Strong + Lightweight + Built-in Leveling Base + Spirit Level

If you have never tried long exposure photography before because you thought you needed to buy expensive filters and filter holders think again. It very possible to create awesome long-exposure images with no attachments at all. Just a decent tripod and possibly an intervalometer. Although the latter accessory is definitely optional.

Please watch the video and leave a comment if you have any questions at all.

Cheers

Gary

First exposure to photography in late-1960s in McKinley Park with Charles Ott and Malcomb Lockwood. Later working in a studio and color lab. A lifetime later and 50 years in technology, I've retired and have been 'returning to photography'. (Always been a 'side line' of mine... misc. weddings, portraits, some outdoor stuff.) But I've always had my time with Charlie and Malcomb rumbling around in the back of my mind calling me to the outdoors. Lots of changes from my Canon FTbN, F1N, AEs, and a few others. Now shooting M6 Mark II hoping to get an R for Christmas or birthday. Your videos have been not only informative, but inspirational. All I can say is 'bravo'.... and Thank YOU!

Great lesson. It's never too late to learn something new.

[travelswithgreengold]

Thanks Gary. As a newbie I have just learned a shed load. I can’t wait to try out some long exposure. 🙏

[tobyjugg]

Thats a cracking tutorial for those of us who haven't got all them expensive filters - Thanks muchly for your time in maki9ng something so very helpful and practical - BIG thumbs up Mr G.

[johnward]

Great video....and it even had some irony thrown in. At about 48 seconds into the video we see a sign that shows boogie boards and surfboards for 50 seconds we see a pancake flat sea! Your videos are always worth watching. Thank you :-)

Congrats Derek, lucky lad and thanks Gary for the opportunity to be in the draw. Another great Vlog on long exposure, how I wish I wasn’t so landlocked but I guess it might work on a fast moving river with some moving clouds maybe, will give it a go sometime 👍

Great video Gary. You certainly make photography less complicated that sometimes I feel it is! Hope you’re keeping well.

Nice drone shots as usual and the farmer muck spreading with the birds above.

[dhruv]

Namastey Sir Gough! Your videos are making me go out there and try long exposure photography myself! I did go out the other days and I definitely did not get good results but I did learn a lot!

[rosssayer]

Again we have witnessed great info on Long Exposure from the expert, really enjoyable. Thank you. I'll be looking forward to trying this out myself.

[RMBCE]

Another awesome Vlog Gary Gough. I think that last image looked very clean and exactly what people are looking for from long exposure.

Your vlogs are very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate them very very much.

Cheers for taking the time and sharing your experience with us viewers/members yet again.

Well done to the winner of the iFootage Tripod.
