Creating an amazingly sharp and detailed landscape during my free time of the day, which is mostly at night time, is one of the things I've been fascinated to learn when I was starting the photo-taking hobby. I know, this photo taking knowledge of night shooting while enjoying the collections of clear and crisp photos I may took will save me from being frustrated in this kind of past-time-turned-serious-hobby. Night shooting, for me, is always related to long exposure photography. A photo taken from 1/10th of a second or longer can be considered taken through long exposure method. Well basically, as long as your subject's movement or the one's around it are moving faster than the rate of your camera's shutter speed, you'll be in the long exposure mode. But to be able to capture a subject in a very low lighting condition, a much slower shutter speed is required to collect enough light that bounces off from the subject's surface.
For beginners and who are not familiar to digital photography terminology, long exposure photography is a method of collecting enough light during times or place that has very small amount of light. It's the same as how you are able to see inside a dark movie theater after some time of staying inside.
Here are some of my recent photos taken by long exposure method.

This summer, when you heard that you will go to the beaches, instantly, you'll visualize a blue-green sky meeting with clear water
beneath, clean white sand, cool breeze and the sweet smell of air passing through the coconut trees... how relaxing and a great
opportunity to take "Amazing" photos. But.... what if when you reach your expected promising beach, you'll find no extra-ordinary or
worst, totally opposite of what you imagined? Well actually, it's your fault to expect too much... don't forget, beach amenities and
features always comes with a price... So what do you expect on a public, not-so expensive or effortlessly near beach resort? Nothing. This is
exactly what I experienced when visiting some beaches recently. But I told myself, "I'm not going home in vain"
Taking photos of not so appealing locations will give you challenge and the only
thing you need to do is to hold on to your expectations before you came there. Thanks to photo editing software, you can apply
different look to your photos and even enhance it to become what you've imagined it would be.
