Long exposure photographs are created using a shutter speed below 1/60. All long exposure photographs should be taken with the camera on a tripod or beanbag to prevent poor focusing. Night time photographs of lights can be shot using the "B" or bulb aperture. This setting will allow the shutter to stay open as long as you hold the shutter release button down. Some automatic cameras have shutter speed settings for up to 30 or more seconds. This helps to prevent unwanted camera movement that might be caused by manually holding the shutter release button down. Moving the camera during a long exposure shot can create interesting blurred shapes and patterns such as the example above on the right.
