Mastering Long Exposure Photography

Last evening Antony gave us his presentation on long exposures. He promised to give us a focus on wide ranging aspects of long exposure work including night-time images, neutral density filters and a wealth of hints and tip to improve long exposure photography.

Well, he kept his promise..!

His explanations together with a fantastic set of photographs were an inspiration to landscape photographers and, I suspect, photographers from other genres..!

He began simply by setting out a two part definition of the use of long exposure:

1. where there is a shortage of available light and

2. a deliberate and creative use of extended shutter speed.

This evening a well-attended presentation by our own Dave and Joan Jordan kept us all focused on the jewel of the Adriatic sea, Venice, capital of the Veneto region Italy. Built on a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges, one of the most romantic, most visited and most endangered cities in the world.

They have been fortunate enough to have visited Venice on three occasions and this evening we were taken on a photographic journey through their visits to this beautiful city and its immediate area.

The presentation began with an explanation of the geographical position of Venice and some of the things that prompted their interest in the city. An excellent piece of advice was to take the water taxi, hop on and hop off, to save your feet. Venice can be tiring if you only walk as a means of getting about.
