The first edition of my book, in which I’ve dedicated considerable time and effort, is now available. "For years he has produced the site bewegungsunschaerfe.de, which deals with many aspects of photography, including long exposures." The book is ideal for both, beginning and advanced photographers, who are seeking a trusted adviser in long exposure photography. From ones first introduction to the world of photography, to the work processes needed prior to, during and after a shoot, to the planning of both black and white and color photographs, all are covered in intricate detail for the creation of long exposure photographs. At approximately 320 pages, I will show you the tips and tricks necessary to go from the initial idea to the finished photo. I’ll also show you how to use Photoshop and Lightroom to achieve the desired post-processing affects. Numerous examples from my previous portfolio show you the step by step operations needed. As the summer holidays are upon us, take the book to the beach or on a long train ride to learn more about long-exposure photography.
