I love long exposure photography

I'll never forget my first camera.  It was the Nikon 8008s and I though I was on top of the world.  I just had to learn how to work that thing.  HA!  When I read the flash manual there was a page showing you how to do painting with light.  My eyes got SOOO BIG when I saw what you could do with long exposures.  I had to stop what I was doing and go try this thing out.  It was all film back then so your mistakes truly costed you money.  
Fast forward to today and I'm still in love with long exposure.  I got better at my photography when I was younger soon after I understood how long exposure worked. when you look at the scene in front of you things start to take shape.  What is my subject and how should I expose for it.  Time and time again the results were terrible until it all made sense. Today I use long exposure all the time with the correct purposes. 

Today I posted a video on my Youtube channel on this very topic.  If you would like to get a visual learning experience from my video then you should click below.  :)
