Is Gear Everything?

When it comes to long-exposure shots, gear does matter—but it doesn’t have to be top-of-the-line. There are plenty of budget-friendly ways to capture eye-catching long exposures.

Here’s an excerpt from one of our articles: “The key to getting incredible long exposures isn’t expensive gear. If you have a tripod, a remote shutter release (or cable release), and a camera with bulb mode, you’re well on your way to taking an amazing long exposure. You might also need a neutral density (ND) filter, which covers the lens to block out the light for the purpose of keeping your shutter open longer, even when it’s bright out. ND filters come in handy for daytime long exposures, but if you don’t have one, plan to shoot at night or in a dark indoor setting.”
