long-exposure
Slow camera capture
Long-exposure describes a photographic technique where the camera's shutter stays open for an extended period, allowing light to accumulate on the sensor or film.
The result captures motion as blur or streaks—star trails across the night sky, silky waterfalls, car headlights painting ribbons through darkness: a long-exposure shot of the city at night.
