right now in this video I'm going to tell you exactly what you need to take
beautiful dreamy ethereal long exposure photography five things just five things
welcome to my channel here I talk about photography and I make videos just like
this one what I will tell you what you need to take long exposure photography
so if you're here for the very first time it might be a good idea to
subscribe if you have been following this channel for a while you might know
that I love long exposure photography actually I would say the
more long exposure photography has really become my photography signature
so I receive a lot of questions about the gear I use for my long exposure
photography and I finally decide to make this video and tell you which are the
five things you will need to get started with long as for your photography the
camera of course you will need a camera but hear me out
now if you have a camera already you don't need to switch with what I'm going
to say now but rather start experimenting with what you have while
if you're searching for a new camera or you don't have a camera at all here
there are some suggestions for you I recommend to pick a full-frame camera as
you might know I use Nikon I don't think that Nikon is any better than Canon or
Sony or Fuji or whatever else but I'm just used to its user interface since
I've been using Nikon cameras for the last 20 years at least and within the
Nikon family I love the Nikon d810 I had this camera for the last five years and
I believe it's still a fantastic product and because of the newer Nikon d850 and
the Nikon mirrors full-frame Z series you might be able to find good deals on
used d810 there is a lot of people that are ready to jump into the newer
products and will trade in their cameras with an insignificant amount of shots
the D850 can take up to twenty fifty thousand shots and you will be surprised
to see how many use cameras are available with less than five thousand
shots so go to your local camera store and see what they have but if you don't
need 36 megapixels as you are not going to print in huge formats you can spend
less money and pick the Nikon d610 or the nikon d750 both very good full-frame
cameras with the same 24 megapixel sensor the d750 has a better ISO
sensitivity and a tilting screen but the d610 is weather sealed the d610 is a
little more plasticky than the d810 and i believe it's made in Thailand versus
Japan these things though will not really affect the quality of your images
but you will spend less than half of the money the lens the
second thing you will need of course is a lens my recommendation here is to pick a
wide-angle prime lens remember that the quality of your images will always be as
good as the worst piece of gear that you are using so it doesn't really make a lot of
sense to buy a fantastic camera body and then use an average zoom kit lens you
will end up being very disappointed so my favorite lens for long exposure
photography is the Nikon 20 millimeters F 1.8 I believe the 95% of my long
exposure images are taken with this lens I say 95% because I know I took some few
long exposures with other lenses but it might be more like 98 as a matter of
fact this is the lens that is always attached to my camera a prime lens in
general is sharper than a zoom lens and this 20 millimeter lens is crazy sharp
check out this video to see how my 20 millimeter lens overperformed Laredo's
zoom lens on is D850 a prime lens is also of course much lighter and often is
a lot cheaper too, so for me this is a no-brainer decision and with an aperture
of f1.8 this is a great night photography lens as well the tripod if
you want to take long exposure photography you will need a tripod it
doesn't matter if it is a short long exposure or very long long exposure you
will not be able to hold your camera in your hands without shaking it even if
you're a surgeon when selecting a tripod the key is to find a good compromise
between weight and sturdiness I use these super sturdy carbon fiber tripod
from a California brand called really right stuff it's awesome it lasts
forever it never shakes is strong in the wind
strong in the sand but there are two problem of course it is not cheap it is
not light sometimes when I go for a longer hike I will bring a smaller
tripod a lighter tripod which is the meFoto that
is holding my g85 right now at the same time it does not feel the same so
my suggestion here is not to go too cheap but at the same time
don't buy a tripod that is too heavy for you it's worthless if you don't bring it
with you so search for the right balance the filters now that you have a great
camera a sharp wide-angle lens and everything is super sturdy on your
tripod if you want to be able to take a long exposure photo you will need a
neutral density filter an ND filter will act like your sunglasses and will
basically limit the amount of light that enters in your camera through the lens
the darker is the filter and the least amount of light will go through and
since light in photography is measured in stops also and the filters are
classified in stops so when you are using a three stops ND your exposure time
will increase by three stops and if your shutter speed without filter is one
second for instance once you put the three stops and the filter on it will
become four seconds I'm telling you all this because the most common question I
receive is which filter should I buy first and my answer is to do what I did
start with the 10 stops nd the 10 stops ND will allow you to take a long
exposure during daytime and at sunset or sunrise you will be able to
take those beautiful dreamy and ethereal images that only very long exposure can
create I also have a three stops six stops a fifteen stops and a graduated ND
filter but you don't need to buy everything when you start just start
with the ten stops as far as it concerns the brands that I use I mainly use Lee
Filters the ten stops is a very good quality piece of glass but it will give
to your images a little blue cast which is though very easy to correct in
Lightroom now just a little side note you can take long exposure photos
without filters usually during the blue hour right after sunset before it gets
pitch dark and that of the day you will see that your camera
will need several seconds even without an ND filter so if you are curious to
experiment before investing any money you could try that and see if you like it
the remote shutter release the very last thing I recommend you to have is a
remote shutter release this is the smallest investment that you will need
to do and it will be useful both for long exposure photography but also for
your landscape photography as a matter of fact the less you touch your camera
while shooting on a tripod the more likely your images will be point sharp
and I will make a video about how to take sharp images on a tripod very
shortly technically you will not need the remote
shutter release for exposure up to 30 seconds as a matter of fact most cameras
will allow you to set your shutter speed until then but if you love really
long exposures 2 minutes 3 minutes 11 minutes the remote shutter release
becomes a must I use this Vello remote shutter release
which is exactly the same as the Nikon remote shutter release it just costs one
third let me tell you a story about this I was in New Zealand last year I think
you know by now and a few days into my trip my shutter release stopped working
I was in a very small village in the South Island Kaikoura and of course there
was no camera store there and I was not going to cross any bigger city any time
soon for me it was like a disaster I was really sad but earlier that day I
checked in into this Lodge the Manukau lodge and I met the owner Neil which by
chance is an awesome photographer I will put a link in the description if you
want to check his work anyways came back to the lodge and immediately I went
searching for Neil and I asked him what were my options and it turned out that
he was also using a Nikon d810 and it was so kind to let me borrow his remote
shutter release all of my New Zealand shots were taken with his remote shutter
release he literally saved me thanks Neil of course all the items that
I mentioned will be in the links down in the description below feel free to check
them out I will do more videos about long exposure photography in the future
at the same time in the meanwhile I am linking year a video that I did in the
past of how to take long exposure last week instead I made a video about how i
edit long exposure photography in lightroom so go and check it out
and this is really all for today I hope you enjoyed this video i hope you will
experiment with long exposure photography it's really a lot of fun so
let me know what you think hit that like button leave me a comment and if you
didn't yet maybe this is the right time to describe thanks for watching and I
will see you in the next video
