# Long-Exposure Technique **Definition:** Long-exposure photography uses shutter speeds typically ranging from 1 second to several minutes (or longer), allowing the camera sensor to collect light over an extended period while the shutter remains open. **Why It Matters:** This technique captures motion as artistic blur (waterfalls become silky, stars form trails) while keeping stationary elements sharp, creating images impossible for the human eye to see. It's essential for low-light photography and transforming ordinary scenes into ethereal, time-based compositions that convey movement and the passage of time in a single frame.
