Is it a horse? Is it a house? Is it rain? What is it? Well, it is a long exposure image. I know, long exposure photos have the gift to leave you speechless. What is actually long-exposure photography? Well, a long-exposure image captures something that you might never thought possible: time. The photo presents a moving object’s trajectory through an extend period of time.

Bright objects or objects that have lights on them, like a plane or a car, will leave a trail of light, whereas dark objects will just disappear. How is the photo taken? First of all, long exposure photography involves a long-duration shutter speed. This way, it can capture the stationary elements of images while blurring or obscuring the moving elements. The shutter speed or exposure time is actually the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light.

The images that you are about to see below are taken on airports and they depict the landing or taking off of planes at night. They are incredible images that you could spend an hour staring at:”Is this real world?”. Yes it is. We’ve prepared 18 photos for you. Some of them we might have used more than once, but we definitely fell in love with them so we had to put them there twice for you to admire in all their splendour. Enjoy!

1. San Francisco International Airport between 10 PM and 11 PM on July 17th, 2009.

2. Localizer: Landings on 28L/R

“Actually I have no idea how the pilots get to the runway at SFO under these conditions. The plane trails are best seen at original size. Sort of an experiment, wasn’t sure what I was going to get here. I don’t think this is quite what I was hoping for, as the trails aren’t nicely spread out or tightly overlapping”, says the photographer about his work

16. SFO rush hour on Friday, December 18th, 2009, at 10pm

“Qantas 74 headed for Sydney can be seen taxiing across the runways from left to right. The dark jet at front left is a Delta plane — for some reason it sat there for quite a while as planes taxied by on the far side, and then finally took off”, explains the photographer.
