How to Take long exposures without filters

[@SidBonkers51]

Refreshing to see a company happy to support a Photographer/KZbinr without asking for a review or even a plug in return. ps. congrats to Derek

[@GaryGough]

Me too Sid. Cheers 👍👍

First exposure to photography in late-1960s in McKinley Park with Charles Ott and Malcomb Lockwood. Later working in a studio and color lab. A lifetime later and 50 years in technology, I've retired and have been 'returning to photography'. (Always been a 'side line' of mine... misc. weddings, portraits, some outdoor stuff.) But I've always had my time with Charlie and Malcomb rumbling around in the back of my mind calling me to the outdoors. Lots of changes from my Canon FTbN, F1N, AEs, and a few others. Now shooting M6 Mark II hoping to get an R for Christmas or birthday. Your videos have been not only informative, but inspirational. All I can say is 'bravo'.... and Thank YOU!

Great video....and it even had some irony thrown in. At about 48 seconds into the video we see a sign that shows boogie boards and surfboards for hire.....at 50 seconds we see a pancake flat sea! Your videos are always worth watching. Thank you :-)

[@tobyjugg6202]

Thats a cracking tutorial for those of us who haven't got all them expensive filters - Thanks muchly for your time in maki9ng something so very helpful and practical - BIG thumbs up Mr G.

Brilliant Gary loved the demonstration and congratulations to Derek

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Jim 👍👍

[@dilus13]

Congrats Derek, lucky lad and thanks Gary for the opportunity to be in the draw. Another great Vlog on long exposure, how I wish I wasn’t so landlocked but I guess it might work on a fast moving river with some moving clouds maybe, will give it a go sometime 👍

[@GaryGough]

Absolutely, it works exactly the same 👍👍

[@jimusher1107]

Well you did it again Gary you have entertained and educated me and no doubt countless others, your easy going manner is so refreshing you are a down to earth guy that most people can relate to you are a joy to watch and learn from keep up the good work and thank you my friend take care and stay safe.

Great video! I have been racking my brain on how to do more long exposure shots without getting filters. Thank you for the common sense approach! This will give me all sorts of new opportunities!

[@GaryGough]

Happy to help! cheers John 👍👍

[@RM831BC4E4]

Another awesome Vlog Gary Gough. I think that last image looked very clean and exactly what people are looking for from long exposure. Your vlogs are very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate them very very much. Cheers for taking the time and sharing your experience with us viewers/members yet again. Well done to the winner of the iFootage Tripod.

Again we have witnessed great info on Long Exposure from the expert, really enjoyable. Thank you. I'll be looking forward to trying this out myself.

Without doubt, excellent tutorial and solid ideas work extremely well. I love your technique and your knowledge. Thank you Gary. You have got me off my comfort excuse chair. Thanks Mate.

[@142dhruv]

Namastey Sir Gough! Your videos are making me go out there and try long exposure photography myself! I did go out the other days and I definitely did not get good results but I did learn a lot!

[@iancharles7737]

Great video Gary. You certainly make photography less complicated that sometimes I feel it is! Hope you’re keeping well.

[@kaspianbluec.8556]

Omgoodness. Thank you SO much for sharing this video. Seriously!!! While I cannot even say I'm a armature (or even a newb?) here, as the camera equipment I have has only collected dust over the last 5yrs. Upon watching this video, however, its given me - hope - that I “can” do this. Landscape/ long exposure, abstract and macro photography is what I've been wanting to get into, however, after combing through all the KZbin Photographers I've watched, has kept me rather quite intimidated, as all this gear is - indeed - quite expensive. So ya, this has renewed my desire to get into this hobby, albeit career. Admittedly, however, I am quite the newb here. Yet hoping to change/ remedy that in time. Again, thank you for sharing this w/ us here. You've been not only very informative, yet very easy to understand. Love it!!! ^_^

This is exactly what I was showing my daughter to do yesterday, Father’s Day, on a beach at West Bay. Wish we could have stayed later for lower light. Well explained Gary, thanks. 📸👏

[@Dez_Blanchfield]

Gary this was huge fun to watch.. both the "how to" guide shooting long exposures without filters, and.. I loved your whacky made but awesomely fair competition give away.. like you, I'm a crazy huge can for iFootage.. I've purchased one of their mono-poles ( the C180-II ) and love it.. now I'm pondering saving up and getting the tripod version from them ;-) thanks!!

[@GaryGough]

You’re welcome and thank you xx

[@dcallan812]

Great Video. Nice to see you made it to sunny Saltburn I have lived here for years. I have caught the aurora one night from the balcony and last year I got some dolphin shots.

Thanks Leanne 👍👍

[@didjeramauk]

great video. Reminds me of shooting 15min exposures with only bulb mode on my Film camera at the time with no filters. Only real issue was unable to focus when looking out into the depths of the North sea on a winters night..

[@glennvanderheyden987]

I learned a lot. Thank you

[@GaryGough]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karengoody8142]

Great video and good to know that it can be done that way you explained really well thank you

[@GaryGough]

Thanks 👍👍

[@ThinkingPhotography]

Great inspirational video to show how easy it is to do long exposures without fancy gear. And of course, well done to lucky Derek! Thanks for doing that Gary, it's great to have a few pointers as to where the best camera accessories are, as you say - hard earned cash shouldn't be wasted!

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

One added benefit of doing it this way was that the later in the early evening you shot, the more lights in the distance appeared in the shot which I think added to it.

[@jababnamgay6366]

I am learning a lot from your videos.

[@GaryGough]

I will do more longer expo seascapes in the future borrowing Gary G technique. Good video Gary. Personally I did want set of Lee filters for landscape shots until I saw the price !

[@Fessoid]

I've recently catch evening woodland in same manner + phone lights )) It was interesting one. Also inspired! Thanks for tips, will try definetely!

[@lindaroberts102]

Firstly thank you, I have learnt so much from you and managed to get a misty waterfall last week . I was so happy I was dancing . Secondly , in this vlog , when it shows the camera taking the long exposure shot is flash being used. I was watching intently trying to absorb everything and it looked like the area in front of the camera was lighting up so I didn't know if flash was used . Thank you x

[@GaryGough]

Hi Linda. No flash was used just natural lighting

[@petermainwaringsx]

Great and informative video Gary. From personal experience I'm not sure about gulls and a drone in the same bit of sky though.

[@terrybrooks395]

I used to love the app I had on my Sony A7R II, it was the "Smooth Water" app, it stacked multiple images into one RAW file in camera, very configurable, guaranteed no optical issues or colour casts as there's no extra glass in front of the lens Best way to do it in my opinion but very heavy on shutter count if you're not using a mirrorless camera set on electronic shutter You can do this any time of day you like, e.g. if you want a 2 minute exposure you can take 120 x 1 sec exposures and median blend in PS/Affinity/etc, that gives the same result and guaranteed no optical defects or colour casts from filters

[@GaryGough]

I've seen this done before. It works pretty good as well 👍👍

[@chetansp912]

Can you please explain a bit more on the calculations you mentioned above?

[@davidmoffat4610]

Another excellent tutorial. I always thought you had to use ND filters to properly capture long exposure images.

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Fun video great info!

[@GaryGough]

[@darkbidding]

Great video! Have you ever used the method where you instead take multiple shots of the same composition on a tripod and then use Photoshop to stack them into a single composite image (using the “mean” stacking method to combine them)? This would also achieve the long exposure blur effect without having to use nd filters and without having to wait for it to get so dark.
