30 Mind-Blowing Examples of Long Exposure Photography

Photo By Terja Sorgjerd

Long exposure photography is awesome. I could sit here and use a thesaurus to try to choose fancier words to open with, but really, long exposure photography is awesome. Doesn't matter how you say it. It gives the photographer the time to capture more than just one moment, it gives them the opportunity to catch a section of time, and represent it in one photo. Sometimes, the end results can show us a surreal version of our own daily lives, sped up so we can see just how fast and constantly we are always moving.

Airows put together this amazing gallery of long exposure photography that we cannot recommend enough. They also took the time to make sure each piece was credited to the proper artist. So if you see a shot that really steals your breath, Google the name. All too often in galleries like this, the work is admired and displayed, but the artists get uncredited. Nice to see them getting the props they deserve for their stunning work.

It also gives us all a chance to look at life a different way, and remind us there is beauty in everything. Even our maddening, hyper-fast, daily lives.
