Long Exposure

Long Exposure (n.) A technique where the camera’s shutter is left open for an extended period, allowing more light to hit the sensor. In mobile photography, long exposure effects are often achieved through computational methods, as physical shutters are not typically used. This technique can create striking effects like light trails from moving vehicles, smooth water in landscapes, or star trails in night sky photography. Many smartphone camera apps now offer long exposure modes or allow manual control of shutter speed to achieve these effects.
