It is important to keep in mind that for the first 100 years since photography was invented/announced in 1839, every photograph was essentially a long exposure picture. Daguerre's first famous image of 1939 in Paris, had a man with his shoe being shined in the urban landscape, deliberately placed by the photographer himself to fixate a human figure (two in this case) during the 5 minute + exposure, not unlike the "Lucy & Simon" photos, for all the urban arena was blurred away so the steets looked completely empty but for those two people . And portraits required strange mechanical supports for people's heads so they remained still, while the eyes looked oddly blurred because of all the blinking during the 8, 9 minute exposures for a daguerreotype immage. So, long exposures, far from being a trend, were the norm for photography until the 1930s when the so called "rapid" film was introduced.
As a soldier in Germany in the early 80th I teached other to use long time exposure for making beach-photos without too many people… you put me back 40 years…. This is a remarkable piece of art, just on the point! Thanks a lot… 👍
Absolute premium content, Jamie. Focused, cinematic, and lots to learn from even when you feel you already know a thing or two about it. Makes me want to drop everything I was doing, grab my camera, tripod, and an ND and try my hand at some long exposure stuff. 😍

I never comment on youtube but this has to be one of the best photography videos I've seen so far. So informative, extremely well put together. So much information in such a short span. Absolutely incredible mate!
It's 3:30 am and 'm watching your video for the third time. I expected a tutorial, but you have given us a work of art. Your narration, your music, your edition have moved me so deeply. Thank you so much.
Actually was so happy to watched this video that I wanted to leave a comment. Than I saw your comment and when I looked at the clock it's 3.15 h already 😂 You still wining
I rarely comment on YT videos - but I want you to know I am SO GLAD you are back. I have been waiting for six months for this. Not only because your videos are the best on YT but also because I know you’ve been dealing with a lot of challenges lately and I considered a new video to be indicative of you not only dealing with but overcoming those challenges. Oh. And I’m not even a photographer. I just appreciate the quality, artistry and thoughtfulness of your videos and the messages they convey. Thank you for your body of work, Jamie.
I am a small RUclipsr in the photography genre, and after watching a few of your videos, I know I have a very high bar to reach! You are now my inspiration for improving my story-telling, video editing, and visual effects. Excellent work!
There are channels where you go to multiple times and still not subscribe to them and then there are channels like this, you cant go away without subscribing to it. Absolutely fantastic work. Thanks alot for your time.
So much knowledge communicated through one video yet never to the point of overwhelming the viewer. Flippin class. I would imagine this took a lot of effort unless you're some sort of wizard. Thanks so much. Your time, effort, knowledge, and skill are all appreciated.
This is probably the BEST overall quality educational style video on youtube. The importance of each piece of information, how well it's communicated, the edit, etc. great job. I'm going to try this stuff this weekend.
Thank you for this video. I am a professional photographer and I take thousands of photos each month. Over the years I have lost passion for photography as a creative art form. After shooting and processing all day every day, the last thing I want to think about is getting a camera out for personal reasons. This inspires me to take all the rules that are imposed on me as a commercial photographer and break them for my own amusement.
Never clicked a video so fast in my life. I'm a few days late but seeing that the views have already gone up to 70k makes me so happy for you. We really miss you! Glad you're back Jamie.
It's really good to see you back. Just a couple days ago I was feeling down about not seeing you for a while and thinking I'm stuck with my current perception. Now I just saw this one, seeing you is great and I'm literally packing my stuff to go out and try new stuff that I got inspired by the video! Thanks and welcome back, friend.
I appreciate the effort you have put into making this video … super informative and very well presented!! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us! 🙏
Well done Jamie - really good stuff. As a pro with 50 years experience I have used long exposure techniques in the past but your video has re-inspired me to get out their and have another go. Also your technical run downs in Part 2 are faultless. Wish more You Tube videos were so professional and accurate ... and inspiring.
In the world of everyone with a camera and lens teaching photography on RUclips wasting my time, your channel is a gem. Please put out more content, I'm having rewatch you videos just to get the edge off the all the other crap I'm watching online.
What is outstanding about Mr. Windsor is, he always brings other artists along with his own advices and masterpieces which doesn't let you feel out of touch and unconvinced and it all makes sense in the end :) Good on ya buddy, keep doing what you doing. Thank you for sharing this!❤
Yet another amazingly well done, beautiful video! Mastery comes with practice and anyone can tell by looking at your work and knowing your very long efforts. Hats off to you Sir.
One of those rare videos that discusses the art of photography and the potential ideas for using the tools, rather than the nuances of the tools themselves. Really enjoyed this Jamie.
Great video as usual, Jamie. However, I believe your description of Long Exposure noise reduction could benefit from some elaboration. While it is in a vague sense true to say that the process serves to remove imperfections from an image, a more accurate way to describe the process would be to say it subtracts thermal noise produced by sensor and circuits heating from the image, and possibly any light leaks falling onto the sensor while the dark frame is being exposed (which would actually be adding imperfections to the image). Another technique used in astrophotography is the flat frame, which not as useful for conventional photography, might be considered necessary by the technical photographer seeking the next level of perfection. A flat frame (or average of a series of flat frames) serves to remove light transmission biases that occur throughout the optical path of a photographic system, so that any imperfection in the transmissivity of that optical system are neutralized, broad hotspots and dark areas being corrected to become of equal average intensity throughout the frame. I realize this is all a nitpick, but I think it is worth a mention for those who are seeking a deeper understanding. Also, while the dark frame reduces pattern noise, it increases random noise, which might be a good thing from a creative perspective. And also, a photographer can create a reusable library of dark images so that this process would only need to be done once, albeit creating a complete library for different temperatures and exposure times would be a daunting undertaking. The solution to that is to scale the intensity of dark frames for the desired time. This still requires a small library of frames, and a method and/or software that would simplify the process. In astrophotography, dark frames are a must, but then again, the light levels are magnitudes lower, reaching down to photons-per-second and even lower quantities.
Excellent video Jamie - your editing gets better every time. I had no idea there was such a thing as a pro mist filter although now I've looked them up, they're more expensive than I hoped! Lucie & Simon's work is brilliant even for those with memories of lockdowns from 2020/21. It's intriguing to know that their work pre-dated Covid. Finally, great to see you photographing some familiar scenes since you moved out of London - hope the relocation has worked out well for you.
You can try a "poor mans" pro mist. Get a relatively cheap UV (lens protector) filter and lightly spray the outside with hairspray, I mean a very light touch - I hold the can about one meter away and quickly give a single pass EDIT: you're going for an even mist coating, no drops or globs, so you might want to test to see what the appropriate distance is to achieve this. And use an aerosol, it produces a finer mist than a pump bottle. Let it dry and screw it on and take a shot. If it's too much you can clean it off with alcohol and try again with less spray, or if the effect is too subtle, well you get the idea. In the old days when I was a camera assistant on low budget film sets we used to occasionally pull a piece of nude pantyhose across the back of the lens before we mounted it into the body to produce a similar effect, but I would never do that with my DSLR lenses/body lol.
@@TheIronDuke9 thank you for the suggestion. I've probably got a few old UV filters that aren't being used so I'll give the hairspray idea a try. I've seen a number of post-production Photoshop techniques that mimic the same 'haze' but I'd rather get the effect in-camera so will experiment with old filters as you suggest. And yes, I'll probably resist forcing pantyhose/tights in between lens and camera!!
This blew my mind, I never looked at long exposures like that. Only used it to photograph car light trails, and silky smooth water. It literally opened up a realm of possibilities in my mind. So glad i found this video, subscribed.
This is such a well made video! The way you clearly articulated what you said made it really easy to follow and understand. And your editing is really cool! This could've easily been a much simpler video for you to make, but the extra effort you put in made this awesome to watch!
Great explanation, great tutorial and incredible work with the final video. You have a huge video editing skills: the music that you choose for backgrounds, the video cutting techniques, the use of monochromatic and duochromatic image stills, etc., give the video an insane dynamism. It's always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks, Jamie, to work so hard. Please, keep on.
It's been a while since I did any long exposure work. I really enjoy taking long exposures of waterfalls and rapids. You've got me itching to take my camera for a walk.
This was fantastic. It was just the spark of inspiration and creativity I needed. I've been struggling with portrait photography, I've been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 2009, and I'm getting burnt out on the drama of dealing with clients. It seems like photography has turned into managing customer service. I'm wanting to get out of portrait and wedding photography and switch to something more artistic and creative. I can't wait to try some of the tricks and ideas here! I've played a little with long exposure in the past, but didn't have some of the knowledge you shared here. Thank you!
i used to go out, take photos, even win awards for them but i havent touched my camera in 5 years. After watching this video, i do wanna do it again right now. good content!
This was all I needed after thinking of trying out long exposure photography. You've covered all the bases.Thanks for the exceptional advice and info. Cheers!
I'm getting a subtle Ocean's Eleven vibe with the glasses you are wearing (Reuben) and the style of the video (frames in moving boxes and the camera work). I love it! Well done!
I've had my ND 1,000 and 10,000 since preparing for the eclipse in 2017, but now I have a newfound interest in doing some long exposure photos! thanks to you! Cheers
RUclips decided that I should watch this video and I am grateful for that!! SUBSCRIBED straight away. Great calm voice and tons of information without flapping about anything other than the main topic. Thank you!
Great educational video! There are so many photographer channels that for me it has become an "over saturated" situation, and a 'monotone' viewer experience. However, once in a while I run into a channel where I find myself pausing, not being distracted about the equipment that I either do not have or cannot afford, and start absorbing new information and noticing a new set of experience. This channel did that for me today. I love the analysis of other photographers, and then the correlating practical exercises. Obviously, Jamie I do not expect that you'd be achieving this with each release, but you did enough today to have me subscribe and become another fan of yours. Thank you.
My friend introduced me to front or black end flash with long exposure while I was just starting to shoot house shows and bands at smaller venues. Still my favorite way to shoot photos at parties, concerts, etc. I love playing around with it
This is such an amazing breath of fresh air from every photography channel I've watched. The way you edit and explain your points is so commendable and equally interesting to watch. Great work
It is a reminder that reacquaints us with our brief existence in our world. People come and go quickly, but the street corner is almost timeless in it's presence.
I've been doing this for 50 years, you explain things very well. I wouldn't put too much effort into metering, though, just shoot it and look at it. Adjust. The other thing I would add is using hand-held light sources can be useful, not for trails but illumination.
I have a recurring nightmare sometimes where I'm trying to fall asleep in the dream, and it's the middle of the night, and I know it's the middle of the night, but it's full daylight outside and I can't get to sleep. The Darren Almond photos you shared remind me SO much of the feeling I get in those dreams. The light is strange and everything is just a little off but you wouldn't know why if you just looked at the image.
His work has a really eerie quality, doesn't it? I remember first seeing it in a gallery (I forget which. It might have been the Serpentine) and feeling a real connecting to its dreamlike atmosphere. It reminds me slightly of the work of an old school of painters known as The Brotherhood of Ruralists. There was a particular painter called David Inshaw who painted these weird nature scenes that had this kind of day/night aesthetic to them.
I swear I've learned more about photography (and everything else digital art related that I do) from RUclips channels like your. This gave me some incredible ideas and can't wait till I have time to try them. I just sent this video to my wife, too, who's in college right now for an art degree, but focusing on photography.
one of the best videos i´ve ever seen about photography...long exposure... so amazing!! sure, im not expectating the video could be so good like it was!!!! I loved it!!
I've been in love with long exposure photography since my early experimentation. Part of that experimentation was pinhole photography which is a fascinating genre itself.
I was worried when I noticed you stopped uploading videos... And now so happy to see your channel active again!. Hope you have passed the pandemic ok!.
You're not just an informer but also an inspiration who pushes others to go beyond the rules of conventional photography and find our own unique style. Thanks for the tips but mostly the motivation to go out there and hit that shutter button as we like.
I'm genuinely impressed with this video. It's the first video of yours that i've watched and i subscribed at the first minute of it. Incredible video editing and very well written script. Love it!
Your videos are so engrossing. You could front a TV show with your narration and manner......you've also introduced me to some very interesting photographers. Great channel!
What an amazingly-put-together video. Thank you. I have played with long exposures a little bit, and sometimes stacking semi-long exposures, but this video was quite inspiring. And beautifully made too. Thanks again.
This is a great blend of education and entertainment, Jamie! What a fantastic video. You have a great way of explaining complex topics in a really easy-to-understand fashion, all while keeping the production values up as high as the best indie films I've seen. Thanks for this wonderful piece of art :)
good old RUclips's suggestions. This popped up as a suggestion and it is one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you very much for pulling this together, I've got loads of ideas now (finding time is another matter) and a lot more to find out about.
Your dialogue- your narration, your writing- is truly fantastic. I learned some, I got great ideas and motivation, but I was mostly impressed by your words. Thanks!
This video came up a few times as a suggestion but I've never cared to watch. I finally did and man! That's awesome!! You've got another subscriber. Thank you!
May I say, sir, that you are by far hands down the best that the RUclipss have to offer. Your videos are excellent and I can´t wait to watch the next one. I´ve been following you for long and it awes me to think of the amoung of work you must have put in these. Keep up the great work. Thank you Jamie.
The title to this video is SUPER MISLEADING. I thought this was going to be a tutorial on how to shoot long exposure and I am glad it wasn't. It exposed my (no pun intended) to a lot of different styles and photographers and their work and I was expecting to just learn different long exposure techniques. This vide is WAY more than that! You earned the sub!
Here's me, returning to the comment section having just taken my very first long exposure photograph and it was a breeze with these steps. Thanks Jamie!
Amazing incredibly informative video. I feel so inspired I just bought an ND 1000 filter. I’m MINDBLOWN by long daytime exposures as I’ve only really played around at night with light trails, lasers, traffic the usual shiz. There is something so haunting about the Silent World photos, and I’m excited to try and create some similar images of busy places in my local area that I have never been able to experience without lots of people about. I also love the work by Darren Almond, totally flipping scenes on their head using the moon as the light source instead of the sun, I love the eerie quality. I also love Henri Prestes’ work too, just stunning. Big thanks to Jamie for pulling this all together and sharing the super helpful tips and process 👍
Outstanding explanation. Your work is magnificent, inspires me when most of youtube videos about photography gives me nothing. So great to have you back at the plataform Jamie, hope everything is good. Best wishes
Dude, you are easily one of the most influential photographers / thinkers when it comes to taking photos. You are so gifted at demonstrating a concept and communicating it interestingly
It is important to keep in mind that for the first 100 years since photography was invented/announced in 1839, every photograph was essentially a long exposure picture. Daguerre's first famous image of 1939 in Paris, had a man with his shoe being shined in the urban landscape, deliberately placed by the photographer himself to fixate a human figure (two in this case) during the 5 minute + exposure, not unlike the "Lucy & Simon" photos, for all the urban arena was blurred away so the steets looked completely empty but for those two people . And portraits required strange mechanical supports for people's heads so they remained still, while the eyes looked oddly blurred because of all the blinking during the 8, 9 minute exposures for a daguerreotype immage. So, long exposures, far from being a trend, were the norm for photography until the 1930s when the so called "rapid" film was introduced.
As a soldier in Germany in the early 80th I teached other to use long time exposure for making beach-photos without too many people… you put me back 40 years…. This is a remarkable piece of art, just on the point! Thanks a lot… 👍
Absolute premium content, Jamie. Focused, cinematic, and lots to learn from even when you feel you already know a thing or two about it. Makes me want to drop everything I was doing, grab my camera, tripod, and an ND and try my hand at some long exposure stuff. 😍

I always learn something from you, thank you!!
I hope that everything is fine now and that we have you here again!
This is such an amazing breath of fresh air from every photography channel I've watched. The way you edit and explain your points is so commendable and equally interesting to watch. Great work
It is a reminder that reacquaints us with our brief existence in our world. People come and go quickly, but the street corner is almost timeless in it's presence.
I've been doing this for 50 years, you explain things very well. I wouldn't put too much effort into metering, though, just shoot it and look at it. Adjust. The other thing I would add is using hand-held light sources can be useful, not for trails but illumination.
I have a recurring nightmare sometimes where I'm trying to fall asleep in the dream, and it's the middle of the night, and I know it's the middle of the night, but it's full daylight outside and I can't get to sleep. The Darren Almond photos you shared remind me SO much of the feeling I get in those dreams. The light is strange and everything is just a little off but you wouldn't know why if you just looked at the image.
His work has a really eerie quality, doesn't it? I remember first seeing it in a gallery (I forget which. It might have been the Serpentine) and feeling a real connecting to its dreamlike atmosphere. It reminds me slightly of the work of an old school of painters known as The Brotherhood of Ruralists. There was a particular painter called David Inshaw who painted these weird nature scenes that had this kind of day/night aesthetic to them.
Often I'm intrigued or informed by a RUclips video. Just now I was inspired! Thank you.
I swear I've learned more about photography (and everything else digital art related that I do) from RUclips channels like your. This gave me some incredible ideas and can't wait till I have time to try them. I just sent this video to my wife, too, who's in college right now for an art degree, but focusing on photography.
The best photography teacher ever. This is always a masterclass
Quality over quantity. I really wish the YT algorithm rewarded folk like yourself, another brilliant episode Jamie.
one of the best videos i´ve ever seen about photography...long exposure... so amazing!! sure, im not expectating the video could be so good like it was!!!! I loved it!!
Jamie, so glad you're back You were away for too long. Your videos have more thought and good ideas than any other RUclips channel.
I've been in love with long exposure photography since my early experimentation. Part of that experimentation was pinhole photography which is a fascinating genre itself.
The photographers you talked about blew my mind. It changes something in me
Dude, I am not even exaggerating, your channel is the best thing I've seen so far. Amazingly well produced and narrated.
I was worried when I noticed you stopped uploading videos... And now so happy to see your channel active again!. Hope you have passed the pandemic ok!.
Alexey Titarenko's works are absolute masterclass
You're not just an informer but also an inspiration who pushes others to go beyond the rules of conventional photography and find our own unique style. Thanks for the tips but mostly the motivation to go out there and hit that shutter button as we like.
I'm genuinely impressed with this video. It's the first video of yours that i've watched and i subscribed at the first minute of it. Incredible video editing and very well written script. Love it!
Truly, I wish I had some constructive criticism but I just quite like it like this. Well done m8, now take it further. Enhance!
Your videos are so engrossing. You could front a TV show with your narration and manner......you've also introduced me to some very interesting photographers. Great channel!
Thanks, Jamie! And, welcome back! I’ve only taken a handful of long exposures, and now I want to get out there and do a bunch! All the best to you! 🙂
Not exaggerating, I think every photography student should watch this. Great primer. 🙏
What a well crafted video. Graphics, voice over, examples, pictures, sound... just perfect.
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
Amazing! So far the best I´ve seen in the past few years! Thanks for your hard work in creating these videos!
What an amazingly-put-together video. Thank you. I have played with long exposures a little bit, and sometimes stacking semi-long exposures, but this video was quite inspiring. And beautifully made too. Thanks again.
Thank you Jamie! With all due respect to some others, your videos are absolutely the very best focussed on photography in the RUclips space.
This is a great blend of education and entertainment, Jamie! What a fantastic video. You have a great way of explaining complex topics in a really easy-to-understand fashion, all while keeping the production values up as high as the best indie films I've seen. Thanks for this wonderful piece of art :)
Thanks for the rich technical how to, artistic pointers, and examples. 3 out of 3 is rare.
good old RUclips's suggestions. This popped up as a suggestion and it is one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you very much for pulling this together, I've got loads of ideas now (finding time is another matter) and a lot more to find out about.
Your dialogue- your narration, your writing- is truly fantastic. I learned some, I got great ideas and motivation, but I was mostly impressed by your words. Thanks!
Well, now that I'm watching longer, your production transitions are fantastic, too. Bravo.
I am SO glad you are back, Jamie.
Back with a new Fuji Medium Format.
And back with better editing than ever.
I hope Bath is wonderful, mate.
This video came up a few times as a suggestion but I've never cared to watch. I finally did and man! That's awesome!! You've got another subscriber. Thank you!
May I say, sir, that you are by far hands down the best that the RUclipss have to offer. Your videos are excellent and I can´t wait to watch the next one. I´ve been following you for long and it awes me to think of the amoung of work you must have put in these. Keep up the great work. Thank you Jamie.
Thank you
The title to this video is SUPER MISLEADING. I thought this was going to be a tutorial on how to shoot long exposure and I am glad it wasn't. It exposed my (no pun intended) to a lot of different styles and photographers and their work and I was expecting to just learn different long exposure techniques. This vide is WAY more than that! You earned the sub!
Really really good to see you back Jamie, my favourite photography based channel on RUclips by far. Hope you and the family are well!
Here's me, returning to the comment section having just taken my very first long exposure photograph and it was a breeze with these steps. Thanks Jamie!
Amazing incredibly informative video. I feel so inspired I just bought an ND 1000 filter. I’m MINDBLOWN by long daytime exposures as I’ve only really played around at night with light trails, lasers, traffic the usual shiz. There is something so haunting about the Silent World photos, and I’m excited to try and create some similar images of busy places in my local area that I have never been able to experience without lots of people about. I also love the work by Darren Almond, totally flipping scenes on their head using the moon as the light source instead of the sun, I love the eerie quality. I also love Henri Prestes’ work too, just stunning.
Big thanks to Jamie for pulling this all together and sharing the super helpful tips and process 👍
Thank you for this video. You gave me so many new ideas! I should watch your content more often!
Outstanding explanation. Your work is magnificent, inspires me when most of youtube videos about photography gives me nothing. So great to have you back at the plataform Jamie, hope everything is good. Best wishes
I truly missed your videos, Jamie, thanks to be back and inspire us once again
