All you need to know about long exposure in photography, compiled from A to Z in a single course! Photographer Tobias Gawrisch shows what to consider when choosing a tripod, camera, and neutral density filter, and what effects you can achieve with different settings. Applications such as astrophotography, capturing moving clouds, or creating silky smooth water shots are discussed.
Don't just set the exposure to seconds or minutes, but use a targeted approach to take effective photos with the long exposure!
With the help of long exposure, you can create different effects in a wide variety of subjects. These contribute significantly to the mood of your pictures, for example when a waterfall pours down like a curtain of silk. Some motifs, such as when shooting starlights in the night sky, are only possible in the first place. Tobias Gawrisch explains what you need to bear in mind when taking long exposures . At the end of the 3.5-hour training course, you will know how to proceed and what equipment you need to use long exposures effectively.
First of all, you will find out in which areas you can work with long exposures and what effects you can achieve. Your trainer will present you with numerous photos from different genres in an informative and inspiring introductory chapter. For example, a static house backdrop meets the dynamics of drifting clouds. Tobias Gawrisch is a master of his camera and also uses long exposures to make people "disappear", photograph lightning during a thunderstorm or soften the edges of shadows on buildings - stylistic devices and approaches that you can transfer to your pictures.
A stable camera stand is essential for long exposure times. Your trainer will therefore take a comprehensive look at the subject of tripods and explain what you need to look out for in terms of tripod legs, tripod heads, center column and quick-release plates. You will also find out what your camera "has to be able to do" for successful long exposures and how to work with remote triggers and gray filters. You will also receive a conversion table for the exposure time for the gray filters.
Accompany your trainer when shooting day and night photos. You will learn how to choose the right location, set up your equipment and choose the composition of the image on location. Of course, the parameters for long exposures are also included, as well as tips on all the fine details that will make your pictures even better. There are also tips and tricks for your post-processing in Lightroom.
So that you can master long exposures in every situation: find out what long exposures are suitable for, what equipment you need and how to set up your camera optimally. Learn how to calculate the exposure time when using gray filters, what you should pay attention to when creating the sharpest possible shots and receive numerous tips, for example on the use of apps that make long exposures easier for you.
