I have to say that I am still in shock. Thank you so much for picking my photo as the winner and I would like to say that everyone else submitted amazing photos, too. I am looking forward to seeing more great photos from everyone!!
Just watched the video while lying in bed only to find mine was selected to show. I was so excited I woke my wife up to show her. We watched the video together and now she is asking where we are going for the next assignment. 😍😍😍. Thanks Attilio for another great video. Personally We loved the ND6 version the most due to the slight increase in colour over the others.
Hi Attilio, Thank you for your hard work and for making these videos. Is using live view when doing the initial exposure (no filters) good? How do long exposures wear on the sensor? If you are using live view and making long exposures (300 sec to 700 sec), what advice do you have about batteries? Finally, do you ever use focus stacking with normal (50-70mm lenses) or is that just not practical with the fast-changing light? Appreciate the help.
Thank you so much for sharing your valuable experience with us. I started studying your videos about long exposure a few days before, and I am excited to start shooting long exposure during the day. Until now I was shooting primarily Milkyway and Startrails, but daytime long exposure photography is a new photography world to me. By the way NISI is discontinuing their ND calculator app (for android at least). I am thinking to buy soon a square ND filter set from K&F to start my long exposure adventure!
That is the best advice ever, get to your destination early especially in Italy! The food is amazing, the towns are amazing, the people are friendly. Check out your spot you like, have some focaccia and a negroni :) I did this in Volterra and had so much fun, I forgot to take my photo on time. Such a beautiful photo you created in the Cinque Terre, thank you for the great lessons.
Another complete and useful demonstration of the process of long exposure. Appreciate the reminder take time, enjoy the experience and then take the photograph. Look forward to number 3..
I bought the Canon eos 1500d as my beginner camera today. This channel inspired me to learn long exposure photography. Hopefully someday I can afford a better camera but now ima learn all the basic here
Attilio is back baby! All is right with the world! And even though I didn’t win this challenge it was so exciting to see my picture on your video @mikehead and a huge thanks for giving me the tools and confidence on getting out there to take pictures and to try to keep improving my skills.
Being only new to long exposure photography, and not necessarily a fan, you perhaps are converting me. Ive only recently bought a NISI ND-VARIO 1-5 Stops mainly for video which it seems will not be enough stops for long exposure still photography, but living on the coast of Australia I will give it a go anyway. I will experiment adding a CPL filter and maybe my cheap Newer filters but not hopeful. I love your enthusiasm and explanations. A new subscriber.
Thanks Attilio, Montana USA native here. I have been looking for this video for years, hoping to find someone who would share his time to teach me this method. I have no ND filters yet and just purchased my first pro tripod. I will let you know if I get the chance to try a long exposure landscape in my future. Thanks again for your great video. Robert
Hi Attilio super duper photos.The last one was a "paintography".what app do you use for ND filter calculator and to set the remote cable to 11min.?thanks
When in the frame there trees with leaves, how do you deal with them? Do you get rid of them, take them blurred or you shoot 2 pictures and then stack them in post production? Thanks, Fabrizio
Hello Mr. Ruffo. I have a question. I have done photography seriously off and on, mostly on, for 40 years. I did some schooling in New York. Took advanced courses in Landscape photography. But the past 15 years I have done mostly wildlife photography. I do miss doing landscapes and want to do more of it. but like you, I really like water scenes with long exposure. I became disabled years ago and money is tight, to say the least. I do not have any neutral density filters. Only a polarizer which is obviously not enough. Is there a decent set of filters for around $100? I think I could scrape that together in a couple of months. Hopefully. Thanks in advance. I love your videos. I hope you have an amazing 2022. God bless.
Just caught up with this, great explanation. Really enjoy your channel, moving in LE more and more, but unfortunately I live hours away from the coast. Need to find some rivers this Autumn
Complimenti per i video e i consigli. Inoltre per gli utenti di lingua italiana i tuoi video hanno il valore aggiunto di un ottimo ripasso della lingua inglese, che non guasta mai. 😉
Glad I discovered your videos. Trying to learn how to take long exposure pictures. You are making this topic so easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video!! So happy about this course!! And so happy that you chose also one my shot for the first photo assignment!! I love so much very long exposures!! Your last shot is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much Master for sharing this knowledge!!
Great video again Attilio. What do you think about taking multiple long exposures, then combining those in Photoshop? E.g. a 5+3+10' would give your the flexibility in post processing for an equivalent of any of 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18 minutes by combining them. The reason I ask is I got a good result by combining two 4' exposures in order to eliminate noise. Fuji cameras have terrible snow when doing multi minute exposures, unless you use the LENR function or the above technique.
Great video.as always, question how you getting on with the Z camera? And which wide lens have you chosen ? I passed on the 20mm and bought the 14-30z F4
Hi Attilio I have watched this episode many times but when I go out and use long exposure all my results from the water are very blue, what am I doing wrong Cheers Willi
@@AttilioRuffo Ho fatto delle prove Regge bene nella gamma -3 fino -7 stops, dopo, per me, non è il massimo, My 8-2000 (3-11 stops) I find it works well between -3 and -7 stops, not so well over -7stops. Thanks again :)
Great video Attilio! I think I know, but why do you set your camera to Aperture Priority first? Also, have you posted a video on dusk/night long exposure?
Thanks for sharing ! I have got some filters and I guess stacking an ND1000 and an ND32 will also give me 15 stops but I have to zomm in a bit to prevent vignetting. Now all I need is the right scenery...
Good day Attilio. I love your videos and love how you are able to explain in detail what we are learning. I just bought a ND filter 10 stop and went out the other day to try it and wow. I'm leaving next Tuesday to England where I'll be taking a cruise to Ireland, Scotland & Iceland. I hope to be able to use it there.
Thanks for doing this series - I very much appreciate them. I'm learning a lot with each episode. Right now circumstances make traveling in my state in Australia...difficult. We were in (virus-induced) lockdown for several weeks, then had severe storms which resulted in me driving to a location only to find a "road closed" sign when I got there. Grrr. But...the great thing about your clips is that they're so very worthwhile, and once I'm properly mobile again, I can just re-watch them and then follow your exercises.
Hi Attilio! A wonderful course with great photos and inspiration. But what about hotpixel topic in LEP? My first try was a star sky photography and I got a lot of hotpixels at my sensor after only 20 Seconds - dont they appear in daylight LEP? The sensor will get heated here as well? Thanks for a short expert note 😀
Great video. Thank you. The last photo was definitely beautiful, however the first filter you used was also very nice in a different way. The water was still angry, but it was very painterly.
I appreciate your use of a more monochrome environment here - many of your shots are so colorful. This simplifies the topic at hand and let's people focus on the important elements added (or not) by using long exposure. Also, not as much post-processing enhancement "required". Very nice.
Again a great video 👍 Now I've been watching your videos on TH-cam for so long and today I hear for the first time that you have a group on Facebook. Now I'm also a member of your group on Facebook. Take care of you, Best regards from Germany
Olympus can make long exposure easy with a 60 second exposure in aperture priorities or LIVE TIME allowing you to see the exposure and histogram build over time. You then stop when histogram is far enough to the right. Perhaps too easy
Attilio; again another great video. I so enjoy the way you go through your teaching process. Easy to understand and so much fun. Love your work. Hopefully I will be able to earn a spot on your next video with this next photo. Thank you for your great tutorials...
I drank wine and ate foccacia on the breakers which are shown on the left side of the long exposure. Thanks for the photography lessons and thanks for the memories!
I really like the 20 second photo. Your videos are very inspiring, now I want to go out with my camera :) My Fuji X-H1 could automatically choose the long exposure times in A mode - my Nikon Z6 can only do 30 seconds max without remote shutter :( Not sure if they improved that in the Z6II already. I'm searching for a new filter kit at the moment. Not so easy to find one for the Z 14-30 lens because you have to buy larger filters when you want to stack 2 or more :D Probably go with Kase round magnetic filter system - 95mm.
As the first tutorial video on lep: great video, great topic, great...and last but not least: it is all inspirational. Thanks for the inside information and your enthusiasm.
Great video Attilio, I noticed on your test shot you were using Auto WB. Is this your default setting or is it what you would normally use for your long exposure shots. 👍🐶
Great tutorial Attilio. I like better the photos with the10 stops and 6 stops ND filters, as I prefer to retain some texture in the water that shows the movement and in some cases the direction of the movement. Grazie! for sharing this very illustrative video.
What is your favorite exposure length?
5-8 minutes
The one that captures the emotion I am trying to convey.
Above a minute. Very informative video
I have been doing a lot of cloud movement shots and found 2 minutes is often the sweet spot to get good streaks from the clouds
That depends on the conditions at the time…
I have to say that I am still in shock. Thank you so much for picking my photo as the winner and I would like to say that everyone else submitted amazing photos, too. I am looking forward to seeing more great photos from everyone!!

I don’t think there is anything more to add than, ‘thank you Atillio, another great piece of escapist AND educational video.’
Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats to all the photographers that had their art featured in this video, they're all beautiful shots!
yessss
Hello how are you doing today and nice post you got I hope we could be friends???
Good to see your next video. I will try take good photo in Croatia. I'm waiting for new lesson. Thanks Attilio.
Have fun!
I have learnt so much from this video - thank you!
The word "ethereal" perfectly describe your photography. Another great video.
Thanks 😍

Mr Attilio Ruffo, many thanks for all. Today i did my first long exposure on day time with my new Kase magnética filter sistem.
Ciao Attilio! Another excellent video! My favorite image is the one with the 6-stop filter (8:51). I love the color of the ocean in this one.
thanks dear Adrienne!
Hello how are you doing today and nice post you got I hope we could be friends???

Before starting the video I thought: this photograph has 8 minutes of exposure... until I did well... Amazing video!!!
Thank You!
Excellent tutorial buddy and valued.
Thank you. Subscribed too.
👍
….and very valuable advice given, “…practice in the daytime and arrive early.”
Enjoyed this video because it was clear about the equipment and contained nformation surrounding exposures around sunrise and sunset.
Awesome video Attilio, loved that last exposure - beautiful work and awesome place 🙌😃
Thank You!

Your enthusiasm comes through the video and makes taking long exposure photographs a pleasure.thanks!!
Thank you!
Should I buy cannon 80D or 850D(Mainly for wedding photography). Or I should buy another dslr in this range?
Hi Attilio super duper photos.The last one was a "paintography".what app do you use for ND filter calculator and to set the remote cable to 11min.?thanks
Fantastic video for clarity and detail of the explanation. As always very useful. Thanks Attilio
Glad you liked it!
Again, fantastic shots sir, but in my opinion, the shot of the sea and pier was the winner 😁😁😁
When in the frame there trees with leaves, how do you deal with them? Do you get rid of them, take them blurred or you shoot 2 pictures and then stack them in post production? Thanks, Fabrizio
if they really bother, combining 2 images is a good solution...
@@AttilioRuffo Thank you Attilio.
"Amazing photo plus you tube channel from a amazing photographer!!!! Merry Christmas Attilio"

Now I am gonna see your next 👍
Great video. Just bought a 10 stop ND filter and eager to try it out. By the way, what is the title of the music played in this video?
i am using D500, will tokino 11 16 will be good lens for long exposure
Just caught up with this, great explanation. Really enjoy your channel, moving in LE more and more, but unfortunately I live hours away from the coast. Need to find some rivers this Autumn

Thanks , I am still with the old faithful D810...
Which remote control did you use?
is the Nisi ND calculator work for any other brand ND filters I use?
I like that shot happens, so true. Thanks for the video. I am looking forward to the next one.
thanks mate!
Hi Attilio I have watched this episode many times but when I go out and use long exposure all my results from the water are very blue, what am I doing wrong

Hi Atti, nice to see you back on locations. Missed out on the first episode, but will catch up. Will post few shots on your Instagram.

Attilio, have you considered the Z9? I am learning this with the Z9 so i visit Bali this week so i am aiming for some cool sun sets and rises
not the z9..maybe the z8! :-)

Attilio, my filters are named differently. Is there a compatibility chart showing the similarities?
Nice clean comparison, looks like a need to add a 10stop to my set..

Qual'è il Canale Italiano Attilio?
Great video Attilio, I noticed on your test shot you were using Auto WB. Is this your default setting or is it what you would normally use for your long exposure shots. 👍🐶
shooting in raw the white balance is not an issue, so I keep it on auto...
Thank you Attilio, have a lovely weekend.
Great video Attilio! Hard to say my fav exposure length. Mostly depends on the scene but most of the time anything > than 1m
Thank you Marco!
