ASCII.jp Google "Pixel6 Pro" explains the impressive performance "long exposure" with light as its own side. [comment by photographer Kono Kono]

People who cross the crosswalk will also become faint shadows in the "long exposure". It's like a lost breath of a ninja. To disappear completely, it takes a long shutter speed of about 30 seconds, and if achieved to this extent, the direction of use will be wider.

As a paired function with the "action bread" mentioned last time, there is a "long exposure" mode in the same "action" project. This is the title of this time. If the "action bread" shows the speed of the moving subject by playing the background, "long exposure" is the function of making the moving subject flow. Therefore, the main element is not the people or the means of transportation, but the still scenery. Or it can be used when you want to eliminate moving subjects such as characters.

This is a normal photographic version.

In general, this may be a function that is hard to imagine how and how to use it, but I think everyone has seen pictures of headlights on the night scene. It was a long exposure. The poster of the fireworks display is also a long exposure from the time before the fireworks to a few seconds before the flower disappears. Many people say, "Please draw a picture of fireworks," and it will show the light in full bloom.

But cut down with a fast shutter speed for a moment, only part of the light track, the light track is also very thin, very dark, far away from the "big flower". The light can be well photographed by opening the shutter until the spark disappears before fighting there.

Although this is a special performance, if the shutter speed of a few minutes cuts off the crowded crowd, the figure of passers-by will disappear. Or if a lot of people stop, it will shoot like clouds and smoke. Moving things and cassava or furry shooting are the characteristics of long-term exposure. in landscape photography, currents such as seas, rivers and waterfalls are often the subject.

Shooting itself doesn't require special skill, but to shoot it outside in bright daylight, you need a pretty dark ND filter, and a tripod is necessary. In any case, it still takes preparation and work.

Whether it is effective or not to photograph the water surface. On the left is "long exposure", and on the right is the usual shot. By the way, like Action Bread, the usual "pre-processing" photos are recorded at the same time.

This is what can be taken by a smartphone, the Pixel 6 Compact 6 Pro. If the hand jitter exceeds the allowable range, the shooting is over there, so it is necessary to keep the phone still, but just hold on to the armpit tightly. Next, powerful hand jitter fixes will be supported. If there are structures such as handrails or benches nearby, you can also place or add bodies there for shooting. But the flyover is reminded because if other pedestrians shake. By the way, the examples to be shown this time are all hand-held. For individuals, hand-held photography is very attractive, and if you fail, you will be very happy to take pictures in a new mood.

Speaking of difficulties, the number of seconds of the shutter can not be specified, and the other seconds or so will end. It seems to be the structure in which the shutter closes (the shooting ends) when the moving subject is identified. Therefore, in order to completely eliminate people from the crowd, not only the number of seconds is not enough, but it is also difficult to overlap the light tracks to make them bright with the words "A picture of a car's headlights on the night scene". The way to eliminate this slightly is to shoot as far as possible. Through the distant compression effect (see the second chapter of this series), you can make people look a little brighter. I guess so.

We must make Mr. Google work harder and make it possible for a long exposure of about 10 seconds (rival models are already available. ).
