Come on out and enjoy this fun hands-on workshop! This workshop teaches you all about taking long exposure photography. With long exposure photography, you control the time setting of your camera to allow the shutter to stay open for longer than it might normally do so. This can create a variety of special effects to add interest to your photography.
