The Longest Exposures in the History of Photography



Photographer Michael Wesely specializes in long exposures. As in years. The above picture shows the 2001 renovation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and was captured over a 34-month period. You can view more examples of Wesely's work at the link.

It's interesting, but I don't understand why. You could set up a camera in one spot, take a photo every day and piece them together in Photoshop thereby having much more control over the final piece. Perhaps the point is just "because he can do it analog" which, I guess, is cool enough.

34 months? That's nothing compared with my Blackberry!

I reckon if I took a photo now it'll photograph the descent and the extinction of mankind, the Sun going supernova, and the eventual cold death of the universe before it's finished taken the pic!
