Weekly Photography Assignment: Long Exposure
Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to encourage yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.
Week 170: Long Exposure
Our theme this week is Long Exposure and we’d love to see what creative nature photos you can take using long exposure techniques! Will you use a slow shutter speed to capture the movement of waves or a waterfall? Or photograph a bird in flight with blurred wings to showcase the flight pattern? Perhaps you will even try to capture a star-scape image at night! The options are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring long exposure nature photos you can create.
Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last week’s winner
Last week’s theme was Animal Portraits– and our favourite image this week is:
This week’s winner is this image, captured by Sush Mish of ‘a mutual relationship between an Indian Guar and the flies!’ We love the unusual ‘up close and personal’ composition of this animal portrait, and the way the depth of field draws our eye to the subject of the image. The features of this portrait subject are evenly distributed across the image, creating an engaging and unique portrait of an animal easy to lookover as a potential portrait subject! Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
