Long Exposure Photography

Long exposures can blur moving water so it has mist-like qualities while keeping stationary objects like land and structures sharp.
Solargraphy
A solargraph is a long-exposure photograph which shows the path taken by the sun across the sky. One example of this is a single six-month exposure taken by photographer Justin Quinnell, showing sun-trails over Clifton Suspension Bridge between 19 December 2007 and 21 June 2008. Part of the Slow light: 6 months over Bristol exhibition, Quinnell describes the piece as capturing "a period of time beyond what we can perceive with our own vision." This method of solargraphy uses a simple pinhole camera securely fixed in a position which won't be disturbed. Quinnel constructed his camera from an empty drinks can with a 0.25mm aperture and a single sheet of photographic paper.
