Photo Challenge: Long Exposure

Prop your camera up, open the shutter, and play! This photo challenge is all about fun and experimentation, so show us your most creative long exposure shot, the ones where the lights blur and the unexpected is exposed. Whether it's a long exposure shot of a moving crowd, the spinning stars at night, or your best painting with light photo, we want to see it!

The long exposure photo challenge is sponsored and guest-judged by Lomography. and the top three winners will receive one of the new special edition Colorsplash Chakra cameras, designed by Staple Design, along with a copy of the Colorsplash Chakra book, signed by Staple and Lomography. Some starter tips-- use a tripod to avoid camera shake, and try some test shots at 10, 20, or 30 seconds. But there's no right way, so show us how you shoot!

This photo challenge was open for one week and closed July 2nd, 2008. Visit the Long Exposure downloads page to see the selections from this photo challenge.
