After sifting through 71 pages of long exposure photography on flickr (that’s a total 1420 images!) I’m pleased to present another instalment of 15 Fine Flickr Examples.
There is an incredible amount of long exposure images of car light trails around – both good ones and bad ones. As fun as it is to make long exposures of car light trails at night, it has also become somewhat of a cliche within this genre of photography, and so in my search for long exposure images for this series I tried for the most part to steer clear of the car light trails.
I hope the following set of images by 15 different talented and creative photographers will inspire you to slow down your shutter speed and experiment with long exposure photography.
If you’re new to the world of long exposure photography I can highly recommend either The Complete Guide to Night and Low-Light Photography by Lee Frost or Night and Low-Light Photography by Jill Waterman.
For now, though, you can just sit back, sip your coffee and enjoy 15 fine flickr examples of long exposure photography.

Hi Thomas!
Thanks for doing this collection. They are all great.
My favourites are the last one by karlequin (because of its “Gotham City” mood) and the one of the bridge by mugley (because of its colours and the nice bokeh).
But as I said, they are all fantastic.

Very beautiful shot Jean-Michel. I really, really like the kind of ‘David & Goliath’ composition and the (struggle for) balance in the image, but I do believe the two smaller stacks on the left horizon and the one in the foreground really makes this image. Thanks for sharing it.
Cheers,
Thomas
