A Complete Guide to LONG EXPOSURE Photography | Seascapes and Shutter Speeds

In this video I go over my process for photographing long exposure seascapes. I talk about what shutter speeds I like the best, how to calculate those shutter speeds for really long exposure, and the decisions I make with this style of photography. This video is great for both beginners and more advanced photographers.

I find PhotoPills invaluable now for planning and exposure calculations with ND filters. No release required. Use self time with mirror lock up or electronic shutter. The blended shots are awesome.

[@lubendamianov3306]

Excellent introduction to long exposure and to the endless possible settings and effects it offers. Thank you

[@ChuckJ7777]

Thank you for the tips

[@00_Ryan_00]

Very good Mike. For someone that lives in Arizona, you shoot seascapes very well.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thanks buddy!

[@jimswift2400]

Great introduction video I also love seascapes I look forward to applying these techniques

[@frankstark3036]

I would like to see you work on the photos combining them in LR or Photoshop

[@RichardBO9]

Great video, Mike. Going to the ocean is on my list. 🤔

HI MIKE.PLEASURE VIDEO .I SEW IN ISLAND The water was bad enough but it also washed from sand onto the sea,. thank you,

[@johnwhite2155]

great info, great photos,thanks

[@19Photographer76]

I just got the ML-L7 for my Z7II as the firmware update 1.40 included the addition. It's fabulous and has 2 Fnc buttons, I have one for the 'i' and one for 'menu'. The controller has a multi-function controller to move settings.

[@DennisNazarenko]

Mike and Chris, thanks very much for entertaining and informative videos. I enjoy them immensely. A completely sideways question - what kind of boots are you wearing early in this video? They look interesting.

[@SteveP_2426]

I'd add a good pair of wellies to the essential equipment for beach shots here in the UK plus long spikes for the tripod (not just the short ones)

[@daveh8679]

Excellent. Great tips well explained 👍

[@r.d3227]

Great informative video

[@xxcaseyxxc]

Awesome shots man, great video and explanations.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@DavidSenteno]

Rogue wave soaked my whole bag. The water was bad enough but it also washed in sand onto everything. Rookie lesson learned. Thanks for the info. 🥂

[@PereaPhotography]

Sometimes we have to learn the hard way, unfortunately..

[@DavidSenteno]

@@PereaPhotography if only I had watched this video four years ago.

[@schmidt28117]

Great shots. Thanks for explaining why you made each exposure decision!

[@PereaPhotography]

Thanks for watching!

Appreciate these great videos 🤩💙

[@PereaPhotography]

Thank you for watching!

[@wjgraham63]

Where would you put your focus point in the scene? And what metering are you using? Partial? Spot? Is f11 the perfect aperture? Thanks.

[@phynx2006]

Bazillion images, now that's a lot, so many images, so little time 😂😂great video Mike, very informative👍😎👍

[@PereaPhotography]

Haha thanks Dave!

[@wanneske1969]

I found the square glass nd-filters are very fragile

[@bobcoggin4618]

Brill 👍🏻

[@bamsemh1]

Have you tried 200mm with 15 stop nd filter, for this kind of photography? Sadly I don't have 10 stop for my wide angle lens, yet.

[@tjsinva]

Nice breakdown. Yup, let's keep the math to a minimum. 🤪

[@PereaPhotography]

🤣

[@Fessoid]

6:00 Калькулятор ND-фильтров должен быть в современных камерах, а не мобильных приложениях ;-)

[@creativetom413]

I'm beginning in long exposure. I have a 1000 nd, and I try with single shot or 3 bracketed -2 -0 - +2 exposure shots is also a polarized filter necessary to get a nice color of the water?

[@mwasdidancestar5844]

💯💯💯

[@bamsemh1]

Magicseaweed sadly isn't available for Android 😕 do you have any alternatives?

[@halit_dokuzoguz]

What's the name of the mobile app you're using dude?

[@joningarfield6670]

Hello from the UK. Very informative video and lovely images. May I ask whether for the shorter exposure shots taken without ND filter, did you use any other filters, such as a UV or polariser? Thanks.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thank you! I didn’t have any other filters on at the time for the shorter exposures.

[@bonnitakhaliq9578]

@@PereaPhotography I see you have photographed some Giant's. The earth is littered with them , many miles high. watch and learn kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2HZepyQiZepha8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pV7TZ6yErZKfhZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKoaWNmmr-Nldk

[@trailhawk6202]

Is it possible to take photos without ND filters can't invest much !

[@PereaPhotography]

Yes absolutely!! But you would need to wait for lower light situations like sunrise/sunset. Then you can usually get nice 1/5” to maybe even 1” shutter speeds.

[@seangaffney581]

To me that scene needs a prop and get lower. I live on beach and shoot daily long and short exposure. Coconuts rocks, shells or sticks throw something in front brake up the hoo hum.

[@jonmorgan-parker4209]

I’m also a huge fan of long exposure shots! However, I keep over exposing the shots!!! It drives me nuts 🥜👎 Thank you 🙏

[@somasekhar957]

Do you have Asthma ??

[@kevywilliams3304]

500 $ for 82 mm filters !????? Seriously !!!!! We don’t all have 82 mm lenses 😂
