Fly Focus teaches you how to work with long exposures




Tutorial pt.1 "moving pictures with long exposures"

With long exposures, you can add action to your pictures. Flowing water, moving trees or persons. Try to shoot motives like that using longer exposure time and you´ll be impressed how much dynamic can be put in photos when allowing them to “move”.

If you are using such a technique, Image Stabilizers are really helpful when taking pictures out of your hand (allows 1/30-1 sec. / depending on focal length).

To go further you won't get around buying a tripod which holds your camera system firmly in position using exposure times up to 30s or more with the “bulb-mode”.


Even though you can't carry a tripod at all times while fishing, there are some opportunities to get such photos by improvising and using natural tripods like stones or leaning against branches that are stable enough to carry your Camera in right position.
