Jürgen Lobert presents “Capturing Time – Daytime Long Exposure (DLE) Photography” on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025 at 7pm, Lone Tree Civic Center. Join remotely via Zoom. Arrive 30 minutes early for social time, to visit with your fellow club members and meet some new folks. The program is 7pm – 9pm.
DLE photography records 1-15 minutes of time in a 2-dimensional photograph by using neutral density filters. This creates unique and intriguing images of the world that we usually freeze in momentary exposures. Letting time pass during exposure converts clouds into bands across the sky, smooths waters to a mirror finish and can make people and moving objects disappear. The resulting imagery is otherworldly and strangely beautiful.
The following topics are covered:
- Why, where and when to do DLE
- Equipment
- Exposing for DLE and using the RGB histogram
- Tips & Tricks
- Types of DLE
- Post-processing considerations
- Resources
