Generation

# Long-Exposure Technique Long-exposure photography uses a slow shutter speed to capture stationary subjects sharply while blurring moving elements, creating effects like silky water, light trails, or smooth clouds. The key relationship follows the **exposure triangle formula**: **Exposure = Aperture × Shutter Speed × ISO**, where extending shutter speed requires compensating by reducing aperture (higher f-number) or lowering ISO to maintain proper exposure. Neutral density (ND) filters are often essential in bright conditions to allow longer exposures without overexposing. Typical shutter speeds range from 1 second to several minutes depending on the desired effect and lighting conditions.
