Long exposure photography is when a scene includes both stationary and moving objects. The slow shutter speed can cause effects like light trails. This technique is best accomplished in low-light conditions. It is often used at night with the trailing lights of cars or stars as the move across the sky.

It can also be used with water so that it has mist like qualities as the objects in the background like land, rocks, and structures look sharper. One of the most popular techniques is used with waterfalls.

Tip #1 - Buy a Good Digital Camera

The bottom line here is that if you have a great camera, then it will do most of the dirty work for you. So make sure you invest your time in comparing the consumer reports and reviews ratings for each camera before making your purchase.

Tip #2 - Take Pictures in Good Lighting

Simple techniques like having the sun shine at a 45 degree angle on the person or object that you are focusing your photo around. Never have the son facing you or directly facing people you are trying to shoot.

Tip #3 - Shoot Like Crazy

The key to getting great photos is to take hundreds and even thousands. With memory cards constantly getting larger, there is no need to try and get the one perfect shot.
