Mastering Long Exposure Photography (Self-Paced)

via CourseHorse

Overview

Long exposure photography transforms ordinary scenes into striking artistic images, giving water the appearance of motion and allowing clouds to streak dramatically across the sky. This technique opens an entirely new dimension of creative visual storytelling. Landscape photographer and prolific author Matt Kloskowski shares his time-tested approaches to capturing these compelling images.

Throughout this course, you'll explore:

  • Precise camera settings required for extended exposure photography
  • Essential equipment and applications that support the technique
  • Post-processing methods that enhance and refine long exposure images
  • Filter selection and application for long exposure work
  • Compositional approaches that emphasize temporal movement and the passage of time

Matt demonstrates these techniques in real field conditions, showing you how different environments and lighting scenarios demand adjusted approaches. His best-selling books on photography have educated thousands, and his teaching brings that same depth and clarity to moving imagery. Long exposure photography represents a sophisticated technique that opens up possibilities for dramatic artistic expression, and this course provides the foundation you need to master it.
