Canon 6D - EF 24mm 1.4L II at f/1.8 iso 100 for 0.8 seconds
Long exposure means to leave the camera with the shutter open to capture light. And it's movement.
Look at the water, it looks like it's flowing because the light had time to "impress" the sensor with movement. It's really a controlled blur!

Astrophotography is a skill of it's own, I'm really a noob here. You've got to account for lens errors like coma, aberrations, distortion, find the correct angle and place without artificial lights, then the digital noise from the sensor will destroy your picture, and last but not least, the Earth WILL rotate in 30 seconds or more, making the stars leave trails!

This is easier than it seems. Just found a bridge with lots of passing cars under and a good spot for the tripod. Close the diaphragm , lowest iso and whopping 2 minutes of exposure. Voila!
Very nice! I've been wanting to do some long exposure photography! Your post provides some great examples and effects most people like to achieve - thank you for the tips! The detail you mention about the stars and 30 second time before you will get trails in your image is really good to know!
Omg, the first shot is gorgeous! It looks so unreal! I've never tried doing long exposure, but my husband likes to take pictures like that from time to time with his Canon mark iii. Thank you for this guide though, I will give it a try!
Awesome example of fine photography, congratulations, they made me shiver
Looks great dude! I have always loved long shutter speed shots, and have tried a few on cars and water like that. I've never done any astrophotography though, it looks amazing. Do you have any other tips for that? Followed you.
