Long exposure photography is using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture static objects in an image while blurring its moving elements. Various collections of long exposure photography have been showcased on the web to serve as inspiration to budding photographers.

I think I can’t apply for Uprinting giveaway because I’m in Italy but I can share a long exposure photo of mine ^__^

I am not such a photo enthusiast, not at all I say, and if I have seen those photos without telling me they are long exposure ones I would definitely thought they are made in Photoshop. :)

The “Experimental Lightworks” by Behance is a very intriguing piece. They stated that its not CG generated. That adds more to the wow factor.
