Refreshing to see a youtube that is: 1. not excessively padded. 2: Does not have lots of very annoying background music. 3: is factual and informing. Your dialogue (monologue?) is clear and keeps to the subject. The video is well shot and presented. As an experienced long exposure photographer, I don't think there was anything new for me in this presentation. However, I have subscribed. The only negative I would offer is I did not register any 'long exposure techniques that often get ignored'. Maybe my attention was attenuated towards the end?
Yeah, I feel like this is an introduction to the topic of long exposures. Which is nice since I like your way of creating your videos. But I was waiting for the pro tips too ;)
Great video. I have enjoyed long exposure for a while, mostly in low light before I bought a ND filter, but mostly I still prefer low light conditions. Thanks, Ian, great work.
I had an opportunity years ago to be on a high floor of a building that looked out over the busiest highway leading into the city. With the combination of F16, iso 100, and I think 10 stops of ND filters, I exposed the highway showing no cars on it at all as they were always in motion. I still want to try a carousel, Ferris wheel, and of course the crowded downtown city, and see how long of an exposure it would take to get all the moving people out of the shot. Thanks for posting this, you have reignited the drive to try these out.
I too love long expo. It gives that sense of "out of the world". It' a pleasure to whatch your videos for your way of teaching, you great shots and also for your wonderful english pronunciation.
Great video and long exposure photos. One thing I noticed about some of your locations is those rocky shores! - YIKES - on me trying to walk on those rocks :-) So thanks for the tour and info.
Always love your videos and the one tip I would give if you are buying filters do not buy cheap ones, they distort terribly and often have coloured distortion as well. The three brands that are good Lee, Nisi and urth are ok too... Just don't buy those cheap junki ones you see advertised. I use nisi square ones but these look amazing!!! I'm definitely a fan of the 1/4 to half a second..... I'm kind of like a quarter second or 20 seconds, and not much in between. Even though the camera doesn't move well, it shouldn't the longer you expose for the soft image and it occurs just because of the way it processes light and the sensor as well. I've noticed this, but I actually like the longer exposure say up to a minute or two minutes, they give it a really mystical almost Lord of the rings look as I call it always love your videos mate, inspiring
Thank you as always for sharing. I’m looking forward to trying this, because I live next to Lake Michigan, have two locations picked out, and just ordered the filters. Thanks again, Mike (Chicago)
I love long exposure with water scenes. That effect just gives a very distinct look to an image that it's kinda haunting in black and white. I love the shots you got, mate and I hope all the best.
Interesting details about the NiSi ND filters. I have yet to find the right combination as I have various lenses and setup/down rings to ensure I can use them, but that means carrying around additional gear. I use screw on Urth, magnetic filters and Rollei magnetic filters. I also have the M10 system from Haida and have only rarely used it. I have just purchased a Fujifilm X-H2 and love the camera and think it was the right step for my landscape photography, although my heart beats more for the GFX series, but that is too expensive for my budget. So I'm glad to see someone out there make awesome landscape photos. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.
Hi Ian, I love the way you teach. I think your video is wonderful. I have a set of NiSi system filters that I just acquired but I wanted to try out the mist filters, so they have NDs and a Mist, but no color coding-sad. I wish I could clamber around rocks and sea the way you do. Please keep making your YT videos.
I needed a quick refresher tutorial on the Long Exposure photography technique after finding my old Lee Filters Big Stopper recently, this was perfect thanks!
Excellent Video, now I’m itching to get out and use my variable six stop ND and my polarizer together to achieve what you’ve done. Interesting filters as well thanks for sharing all this information. It helps mind you that you’re near the ocean. You have some beautiful things to photograph. I live close to the Rocky Mountains, so I’m looking forward to using this information the next time. I go there to photograph waterfalls and mountains in the distance. Regards, Gerry.
I really like to use an small 4k monitor fixed at the flash terminal with a hdmi cable (the other side of the cable varies according to the camera). It's amazing for night focussing but also when sun is a problem
Another lovely location, some good info on long exposures also. I have a bluetooth remote for my Sony cameras, which saves me forgetting that I had a 2 second delay set... (yes, too many times!)
Very nice pictures you have made! If you can say, what Fujifilm camera is that? Many greetings from Germany and thank you so much for your great videos and work you do for all of us.
On a different note: The geology of that cliff face is absolutely fascinating. There are so many different geological layers here that a geologist (which I am not) could spend several months just exploring this one cliff face. And thanks to one hint in the comments I could read and learn a little bit more about that cliff even if I probably will never get to see it in real life. Thanks for the video.
I've been playing with long exposure lately, but can only do it in darker conditions as I don't yet have ND filters. Sometimes I will use my CPL to help darken the scene a bit, but of course, it's often not enough. Question: Do you like the friction system as much/better/worse than a magnetic system? Thanks for the overview!
I think there's pluses and minuses for both magnetic and push on. It's hard to pick a winner. If we are just talking about the quality of the glass though, I think the Nisi filters win 👍
There's a couple of companies that make clip in filters that go between the sensor and lens. No need to get different filter sizes. I use STC and it's great. Kase and Kolari make them as well.
This will undoubtedly be a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. When using Auto Focus initially do you need to switch focusing off before putting the filters on or will the camera still be able to obtain focus through the filters? It's probably obvious when you know but I don't know.
Great video, my own preference is to turn off noise reduction for long exposures because you can't see the playback image until the camera has made the same exposure time ( 10 minute exposure, 10 minute noise reduction black screen
Nice content, thanks! My limited experimentation with long exposure photography is kept being challenged by the key point I think you have not mentioned that the main subject must stay rock steady while taking the shot. E.g., when shooting a landscape with foliage and a waterfall is desired to be blurred via a long exposure shot, a gentle wind moving the leaves can ruin the whole shot. At the same time long exposure can completely remove undesired tourists from an architecture shot. Btw, why did you use a CP filter for a B&W shot?
Hi, Ian! It’s been a very long time since I did a little bit of long exposure photography, so I’ve pretty much forgotten everything about it. Does your coverage of the subject take newbies back to square one? I’d also love your recommendations for a moderately prices tripod. The one I have is a bit finicky.
I watched your video for the first time and was very impressed with your fab work. I normally shoot action pics. However, I do possess Nisi square format filters which I found bit of a bind. I've only them twice since buying from new before Covid.This looks much better though! Are you allowed to say where you have these images? Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Hello, very good video. I'm a 72-year-old man and have been shooting from the age of about 14. I've minimized my gear a bit and carry a variable ND filter. What is your opinion on this?
Hi Ian, I have been watching your video's for quite a while now and didn't realise that i hadn't subscribed to your channel, but hey i have now. Some really good advice and tips. Really nice image's as usual. I must admit i enjoy long exposure photography as it makes the photograph look like art, hopefully lol. Look forward to seeing your next video.
I have noticed that even when you are trying to reduce light to get a slower shutter speed, you still shoot at ISO 125. Is there a reason that you don't shoot at 100 ISO (or lower)?
Fabulous Tutorial.... I love the challenge that you bring to the forefront of our photography skills, with the wonderful tutorials.. thank you sincerely.. mike
Ian what is the back you using in this video. Im using Fuji x system and have a really hard time to find the perfect backpack. Looks like yours may work. I like the idea of tripod on the bottom and size looks good as well. I visit your web page but there is a different one. About this video - yes long exposure is probably the best way to express the filling you have in places like this one. Thanks Greg.
Do you still use these filters? I believe you do in other videos? I can not find in this kit of filters with the polarizer filter on NISI. So i have to assume this is outside of the kit?
What a lovely video! Ive just subscribed :) You've definitely made me want a set of those NISI filters! I have a variable ND from K&F which doesnt do well with my woder focal lengths. I also just released a video on long exposures at the beach (my sexond photography video) and was expecting to make some black and whit minimalist images, but the weather held a surprise!
Do you ever experience focus shift due to adding filters (from diffraction)? I've definitely seen it before, but maybe I'm just using cheap gear. LOL It can make focusing interesting if it shows up. That waterfall shot at 1/8 was the absolute perfect shutter speed - Plenty of motion but the water didn't lose its "watery" character. Nice!
Fuji cameras can go to slower shutter speeds (15 min I think)…. That said if you put your Canon into B (bulb) mode (almost every camera will have a bulb mode) you can go as long as you like ….. just remember to set a stopwatch and manually close the shutter as appropriate
I have used many different filters, not sure I would trust friction in my experience with work friction will definitely get less in time and heat and cold will effect grip. Plus looks like you have to push them on this will move your focus or zoom so magnets are 100% better this time. Sorry
Also lower your ISO setting; lower ISO equals better quality and longer exposures. Also don't buy cheap ND filters; I know they cost but cheap filters have a tendency to reduce sharpness and give off weird colour casts. And if you use a CPL with your ND's , make sure there isn't a rainbow that sometimes happens when using dissimilar brands. That goes with tripods too, a decent tripod is worth it's weight in gold!
I think you copied my KIT :D I also have the X-H2, the Viltrox 13mm 1.4, the XF 70-300, and the XF 16-55 :D Great minds think alike :) Cool video Ian. I don't like to use filters myself, but a polarizer is hard to replicate in post, but other than that I tend to use long exposures of water that uses shutter speeds of 1/2 to 1/10 to keep some of the texture. When I need to have longer exposures I cheat :) I make multiple exposures, and sometime multiple exposures with bracketing, and then I work the files on Photoshop and merge them to "simulate" a long exposure without filters.
It was a good video, but where were the long exposure techniques that often get ignored? Misleading title IMO, would be better calling it 'Long exposure photography tutorial'.
I'd be verrrrry wary of leaving those filters attached to your lens when not in use! There's absolutely no mechanical lock to stop them from falling off your lens and smashing!!
The 2 seconds is to make sure the camera has stopped moving after the shutter is pressed, if it is still moving it is going to be vulnerable to wind shake so adjust the tripod to make it more stable.
Some of the images shown up to about 1/2 second are really nice but anything longer just doesn’t do it for me. Just mush. I know that plenty of folks like long exposures and im sure they’ll get inspiration from the video. Just not for me.
There is no need for for 60 second exposure , nor the filters . There is something called stacking , you don't even need a tripod , as long as you have stabilized lens and about 30% pixels you can crop , then take 60 pictures 1 second each , align them , stack them , you will get better image . of course this will take more time in processing , but not that much more . And of course the plus is better signal to noise ratio, sharper image , and no need to pull them all tripods and filters and what have you . Maybe polarizing filter if that is what cant be done in post , but since i don't have it i cant say , i heard its not necessary
The odd long-exposure shot is OK, but to be honest they have become a rather boring cliche these days with literally millions of them around on the Internet.
LOVE that Snowdonia shot Ian. I've got to get myself there; it's been 30 years!
Hey Gavin, Thanks for the comment, love your content man 😁😁 Yeah Snowdonia is flipping awesome, I cant wait to get back there 👍👍👍
I'm so jealous@@ian_worth

Stunning images Ian, do you do much processing after taking the shot?
a little, but i like to keep things natural so i dont add anything that's not already present within the photo
Beautiful work. Where is this shot from at marker 9:19? I still like long exposures. There is something serene and relaxing about them.
Another lovely location, some good info on long exposures also. I have a bluetooth remote for my Sony cameras, which saves me forgetting that I had a 2 second delay set... (yes, too many times!)
Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Fantastic video yet again. I really enjoy how you explain everything so it’s easy to understand. Brilliant just brilliant thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Ian, for taking this video. Lovely photos and very well explained. Do you recommend using a lens filter also for standard shots?
Hi Ian. Great video as always. Is there a need to use the "LEE stopper” to find your exposure time?
Very nice pictures you have made! If you can say, what Fujifilm camera is that? Many greetings from Germany and thank you so much for your great videos and work you do for all of us.

Loved this vlog. Explained long exposures well and clearly thank you
Is there any particular order to put filters on when stacking multiple ones?
I've been playing with long exposure lately, but can only do it in darker conditions as I don't yet have ND filters.

I usually use manual focus for my landscapes. it can be difficult to see through an nd filter so i find its easier to do it before the filter goes on
Great video, my own preference is to turn off noise reduction for long exposures because you can't see the playback image until the camera has made the same exposure time ( 10 minute exposure, 10 minute noise reduction black screen
Great video again. Very calming too. Beautiful pictures Ian 🙏

Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Great images as always….what timing just yesterday I ordered a 10 stop ND to experiment with long exposure photography
What color temperature do you set when shooting during the day?
Hi Ian why add a 3 stop with a 10 stop filter?
it was a very bright day, so i needed to reduce more light coming into the camera to gain that slow shutter speed
If you are using a 6 stop filter and a 10 stop filter, does it matter which filter is closest to the lens?
Hello, very good video.
I'm a 72-year-old man and have been shooting from the age of about 14.
I've minimized my gear a bit and carry a variable ND filter. What is your opinion on this?

Nice job! Thanks for taking me along!
Hopefully getting my camera soon probaubly gonna go mirrorless and this is the kind of thing i want to do very inspiring
Fabulous Tutorial.... I love the challenge that you bring to the forefront of our photography skills, with the wonderful tutorials.. thank you sincerely.. mike
Hi what location was the beach please.
Thanks Ian, your Videos are always helpful.
Ian what is the back you using in this video. Im using Fuji x system and have a really hard time to find the perfect backpack. Looks like yours may work. I like the idea of tripod on the bottom and size looks good as well. I visit your web page but there is a different one. About this video - yes long exposure is probably the best way to express the filling you have in places like this one. Thanks Greg.
I think its the k and f beta camera bag 👍
Always so well done Ian. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from across the big pond in Canada.
Do you still use these filters? I believe you do in other videos? I can not find in this kit of filters with the polarizer filter on NISI. So i have to assume this is outside of the kit?
yes, the polarizer is sold separately 👍
Love me a long exposure, top stuff Ian
Thanks buddy, it sure is fun 👍
nice work, i like doing long exposure photos
Since this was about long exposures, I watched the video of 2x speed to bring the exposures back to normal...
😂😂
Thank you, Stephen Wright.
What a lovely video! Ive just subscribed :) You've definitely made me want a set of those NISI filters! I have a variable ND from K&F which doesnt do well with my woder focal lengths.

That waterfall shot at 1/8 was the absolute perfect shutter speed - Plenty of motion but the water didn't lose its "watery" character. Nice!
good stuff. in your shot with no filters you say the exposure is 1/200 th but the text says 1/1200 th.
I tried and tried long exposure and my photo's show up white on the screen.Any tips?
Max shutter speed in Manual mode on canon R5, is 30sec your camera can go up to 60 sec?
Fuji cameras can go to slower shutter speeds (15 min I think)…. That said if you put your Canon into B (bulb) mode (almost every camera will have a bulb mode) you can go as long as you like ….. just remember to set a stopwatch and manually close the shutter as appropriate
Hi, for some reason when watching this in full screen your graphics half disappear off the bottom of the screen.
Good examples that augmented the instruction!
Beautiful photos as always, they are inspiring.
hi mate i’ve bought the swift nd filters but can’t seem to find a swift polarising filter can you let me know what one you have please
found it ♥️
Really nice shots.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Yes, well,done video!
I have used many different filters, not sure I would trust friction in my experience with work friction will definitely get less in time and heat and cold will effect grip. Plus looks like you have to push them on this will move your focus or zoom so magnets are 100% better this time. Sorry
Equipment question: Who is your tripod head made by?
sunwayfoto
Thanks
I think it should be mentioned that an adapter ring will likely prohibit using your lens hood.
yep, no lens hoods 👍
Also, to keep tripod long exposure shots sharp, ensure image stabilisation is turned off. 👍
Also lower your ISO setting; lower ISO equals better quality and longer exposures. Also don't buy cheap ND filters; I know they cost but cheap filters have a tendency to reduce sharpness and give off weird colour casts. And if you use a CPL with your ND's , make sure there isn't a rainbow that sometimes happens when using dissimilar brands. That goes with tripods too, a decent tripod is worth it's weight in gold!
@9.25 wow just wow 👌
Thanks for sharing.
Are you on vero? I don't use instagram.
Beaut shots. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤
The image at 8:20 is gorgeous - the subtle colours drew me in.
I think you copied my KIT :D I also have the X-H2, the Viltrox 13mm 1.4, the XF 70-300, and the XF 16-55 :D Great minds think alike :) Cool video Ian.

So do I !
I used to be a filter junky, but I've learned to get by with an ND64. If I can't be happy with that, I'm gonna have to be lol my motto for less gear
The pricing on those sets is "something" else... 🤣
Amroth!
It was a good video, but where were the long exposure techniques that often get ignored? Misleading title IMO, would be better calling it 'Long exposure photography tutorial'.

I'd be verrrrry wary of leaving those filters attached to your lens when not in use! There's absolutely no mechanical lock to stop them from falling off your lens and smashing!!
A 2 second timer on a 60 second exposure is inconsequential.
The 2 seconds is to make sure the camera has stopped moving after the shutter is pressed, if it is still moving it is going to be vulnerable to wind shake so adjust the tripod to make it more stable.
Amroth
Could be 👍👍
Some of the images shown up to about 1/2 second are really nice but anything longer just doesn’t do it for me. Just mush. I know that plenty of folks like long exposures and im sure they’ll get inspiration from the video. Just not for me.

be aware of sponsors there selling something

The odd long-exposure shot is OK, but to be honest they have become a rather boring cliche these days with literally millions of them around on the Internet.
And fill your wallet, as you probably never made it as a photographer your self!
Is this beach in the UK and whereabouts..? Thx 🙏
