How to Take long exposures without filters

In this video, I create long exposure/fine art photography images with no filters!
The only ingredients required to capture long exposure photography is a sturdy tripod and a little know-how!
iFootage Tripod TC6
Carbon Fibre + Strong + Lightweight + Built-in Leveling Base + Spirit Level

If you have never tried long exposure photography before because you thought you needed to buy expensive filters and filter holders think again. It very possible to create awesome long-exposure images with no attachments at all. Just a decent tripod and possibly an intervalometer. Although the latter accessory is definitely optional.
Please watch the video and leave a comment if you have any questions at all.

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

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!

[@davidwebb3694]

Thanks Gary...will certainly give it a try

[@GaryGough]

Cheers David 👍👍

[@paulbennett429]

Another cracking video Gary, I thought i recognised the location from the photo but as i watched the video i realised you were right in my back garden, so to speak :) I have photographed along that stretch a few times myself practicing long exposures. May have to try the pre-dawn/post-dusk approach though.

[@MrsMinx50]

Excellent tutorial Gary very informitive and well explained, your images were stunning as always . Congratulations to Derek on winning the tripod look forward to the next one 👍

[@GaryGough]

Thanks May 👍👍

[@spencerdennis9824]

[@GaryGough]

Cheers 👍

[@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 👍👍

[@JohnSmith-nt5sx]

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 👍👍

[@JonathanKimberley]

I've been holidaying in Saltburn for about 20 years and eager to get back there when I can. I also did long exposures of the sea around the pier from upstairs in the SeaView restaurant while sheltering from the rain.

[@davidhardie3386]

just love your videos and step by step explanations of your technique in taking photos 😀 im very inexperienced in taking photos with a proper dslr camera but through your videos im getting more confident about how to use it, i might make mistakes but learning is all part of the process even though its just a hobby for me, thanks again for another top video 😀📸📸🍻🍻

[@sarahbatsford4791]

Beautiful shots Gary.

[@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.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Richie 👍

[@RM831BC4E4]

@@GaryGough No problem.

[@NikCan66]

Always brilliant video

[@steveschnetzler5471]

I have been fun with my new iFootage shark mini , and monopod. Great stuff, thanks.

[@GaryGough]

Yeah they produce really great gear. Thank you 👍👍

[@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

[@carlitodcreative]

I love this channel .... great video

[@RvdLouw]

Great video Gary thanks

[@FredWilbury]

👌😎 thanks for this Gary

[@tysonator5433]

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 !

[@shadda]

Great video. And could definitely use that tripod, some jerk stole my really good one when i turned my back for half a second in Oakland.

[@Fessoid]

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

[@pearldrummer4077]

Great video. Very well explained for a beginner like me.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers 👍

[@jewante]

Thy Gary for a brilliant video🙏❤

[@GaryGough]

Very welcome, cheers

[@paulbell9957]

Excellent Gary - I love taking long exposures without a filter, so much less hassle when you're using screw filters on a cold day :0 Lovely images too, from one of my fav parts of the country :)

[@johnward2964]

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 :-)

[@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..

[@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!

[@f1pitpass]

thanks for the great tips! Subbed

Great vlog dude 👍 ❤️.. well done Derek 🎉

Glad it was helpful!

[@shot2death876]

Have only watched a couple of videos but I can see see that you know what your talking about which is more than a lot of other youtubers.

[@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!!! ^_^

[@tonymckeage1028]

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

[@jesuslovesbass3944]

Great video, Gary. I'm most definitely going to give this a try. Oh, by the way...that was a beautiful photograph.

[@firecaptbob]

Great job

[@jababnamgay6366]

I am learning a lot from your videos.

[@GaryGough]

Glad to help 👍👍

[@estherdiskin3968]

I really loved your video. I now understand long exposure more and how you used your histogram when changing up the shutter speed. One question will a remote only work on bulb. I use back button focus but struggle getting remote to work. Looking forward to next video.

[@mdturnerinoz]

I only have iFootage monopods and love the two of them for their sturdiness and ease-of-use! I don't have a tripod of theirs yet, but I may check them out.

[@GaryGough]

They're pretty decent. I'm sure you won't be dissapointed
