Weekly Photography Assignment: Long Exposure

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 151: Long Exposure

Our theme this week is Long Exposure and we’d love to see what images you can create capturing movement and using a slow shutter speed with your camera!  Will you photograph water or waves in motion? Or will you capture movement in a landscape like the wind moving through long grasses? Perhaps you will even try to convert a time-lapse into a long exposure image? You could even try to capture the movement of wildlife in action! The options are endless, and we can’t wait to see what photos you can create using long exposure.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

• Long Exposure Photography Guide: Using Slow Shutters
• How to Take Long Exposure Landscape Photos
• How to Covert Time-lapses into Long Exposure Photos

To enter your photo to this assignment, add it in the comments below this post. By submitting your photo, you are giving us permission to feature your photo the following week if it is chosen as one of our favourites. Please keep images under 2MB in size otherwise you may have difficulty uploading them.

Here are some guidelines to keep things running smoothly:

• Photos must be your own work
• Please enter no more than 3 photos per week
• Please only enter photos taken within the week of the assignment
• Include a description with your photo and tell us a bit about it!

You have until next Tuesday, 30th November, to submit your photo.

This week’s winner is by Eldrik Ajiyi. We love the use of leading lines that draw our eyes in towards the subject, and the beautiful colours displayed in the bokeh background. The image truly encompasses the feeling of ‘the golden hour’ and also has a lovely autumnal feel. Well done Eldrik and thank you for all of the fantastic entries last week!
