I always thought that long exposure photography was overdone to death and not even worth doing. That's why I have never experimented with it much, but I still wanted to do a little research and make a collection of best long exposure photography examples.
I soon found out that I was wrong. This photography style may be overdone, but interesting photos are incredibly rare and hard to find (this could also be due to my lack of searching skills). So my advice to you (and even to myself) - don't be turned off by the fact that everybody does it! Only a few long exposure photographers do it right.
Now, before you grab your camera and go out to take those beautiful images using long exposure, you may need some inspiration! So here are 30 Amazing Examples of Long Exposure Photography to get your creative juices flowing.
