Long exposures are a technique used in nature photography to capture images that convey movement and time. They involve keeping the camera's shutter open for an extended period, typically several seconds or more, to allow more light to enter the camera and create a blurred effect. This technique is often used to capture flowing water, star trails, and cloud movement, among other natural phenomena. 

To create long exposure images, a photographer place the camera on a tripod and loosen the required section in order to pan the camera left to right but not up and down. They can then focus on the vehicle and pan around whle shooting on a low shutter speed. This will create motion blue in the background while the subject remains in focus.

Photographers will create supernatural photos but setting a camera up on a tripod so it will remain still. These can be created in dark conditions the easiest but can still be achieved in an outdoor, day time setting if something dark and sheer is placed over the lens or the ISO is adjusted to compensate for the extra light that comes in to the lens when shooting for a long duration. Subjects entering and exiting the scene will appear transparent. A subject shaking their head can obscure their face to appear creepy. Expressions and body position are key in this type of photograph.

To create a light painting image, a photographer will find a dark location and set the camera up on a tripod completely still. They may use a torch on their subject to use the auto focus on the camera and start the photo. Once the shutter has opened, the subject or another can person can use a torch or light to create words, abstract shapes, outlines or to create a shape that makes sense in the scene (for example wings or an energy orb that someone is throwing).
