Between cinema and photography lies long exposure. There is a particular challenge of seeing all of motion and in a single moment captured in a still image. It is also a particular challenge to manage the light of a scene. And manage one’s own patience.
“Sometimes things that are technically wrong are creatively right.”
Some of these images are eight-minute exposures while others are only seconds. Some take place at night while other take place during the day. When light is intense, special neutral density filters are needed to reduce the light. At night, the longer shutter durations make it difficult because any shake of the camera may be noticed while a eight-minute exposure takes a total of sixteen minutes to process. One may only get one chance to capture the image.
