		A Roundup of 24 Long Exposure and Macro Photography Shots– Hold your breath!!!

Mind blowing images can drive anyone crazy but if you get them right. With the courtesy of largest pool of images on internet, flickr.com I bring you some really cool shots which will urge you to get a tripod and start capturing beauty around.

Long Exposure Photography:

Normally when we focus a long distant shot, the final results turn out to be hazy and blur but here I bring you an incredible series of long exposure images which show how lucky some chaps were to get them right…enjoy!

Moonset:

Standing Stiff:

Day turns into night in Paris:

City Life:

Dark Forest:

Fireworks:

Golden Temple in India:

Golden Gate Bridge at Dusk:

Golden Gate Bridge in Moonlight:

Lit the House:

Light House:

Macro Photography:

The term is simple enough to be understood but believe me it’s not that simple as it sounds. People often take macro shots of animals and nature but every photographer is not fortunate enough to come up with stunning results. I have lined up these creative bits, which will make you wonder what kind of lens / cameras/settings made the photographer come with such fantabulous outcomes. Let’s get started!!

Lion Ant:

Color Pencils:

Attackkkk:

Dice Pile:

Black Widow:

Daises in droplets:

Crocodile Eye:

Curious Damsel:

Creative Eye:

I love my kitty :

Spider Hole:

Flower Bloom:

Eye See You:

Whoa!! Weren’t these flicks mind blowing? I am sure, these images must have got you in love with photography, urging you to take your camera and start hunting for some brilliant scenes.
Hold on my friends, you can’t just leave without appreciating and telling us, that which part of the post you found most inspiring and exciting…Long Exposure Photography or Macro Photography?

The most amazing results come from the Long Exposure Photography because everyone can appreciate it and see that it is stunning but, for me, I liked even better the Macro Photography in this post, great shots.

Great photos of the goldene gate, I enjoy my trips to San Fransisco especially the water and the air, it is so refreshing and your photo makes me fell like i’m there again my friend, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

I love the photo of the light house and the golden gate bridge. Awesome find

All the pictures are incredibly seductive. The Long Exposure shots affected me the most. But, truly, I should look more carefully at each. These all demand more than a glance; they elicit too many remembrances or possibly dreams. I’ll have to return. Thanks for showing them!

“which part of the post you found most inspiring and exciting…Long Exposure Photography or Macro Photography?”… now that’s a tough question to answer! They both have amazing qualities!!

For me, “Dark Forest” is amazing, but that is not only from being a long exposure shot, it’s shadows and incredible. ALL of the long exposure images have great lighting… which I guess is what ties them all together as a collection.

“Curious Damsel” is my favorite macro shot. But once again, it’s another quality that does that for me - the depth of field the photographer has used… it’s wonderful that something so tiny is perfectly crisp at the face, and then blurs out beautifully. Now that’s not easy!!

So my verdict, based on these 2 collections, I’m voting for the macro shot as the most inspiring and exciting.
