Long Exposure and Contre-jour effects

There are many certain effects in photography that are really popular. Two of the many are, Long exposure and Contre-jour effects. Personally, these are two of my favorites that I love to try and use. If you have photoshop, it should be really easy to use these to effects. If yo udon't have photoshop, thats all right! Photoshop just helps enhance the picture or add graphics.


This first picture is an example of long exposure. It is really easy to capture a picture like this depending on the type of camera you have and if you know how to use it. Long exposure just consists of a narrow apperture and a long shutter speed. If you make the shutter speed longer, it will capture the movement in the picture.

This picture is an example of Contre-jour. Contre-jour is a french word for, "Agaisnt the daylight". Basically, you have an object's shape, such as a human, but yo udon't see really any defanition or details of who they are. You see them as a shape or a shadow. These I love because it shows more than just a person, but it tells a certain type of story.

I think sounds like a use for screwed up pictures.

I like the long exposure type for things like streams or other parts of nature.
