Picture of the day
A
long-exposure
seascape
photograph of rocks at
Clifton Beach
,
Tasmania
. In
photography
, exposure is the total amount of
light
allowed to fall on the photographic medium (
film
or
sensor
): the longer the
shutter speed
, the more light is let in. This can be done for technical reasons, such as in low-light conditions, or to create an artistic effect as shown here, when the
ocean waves
appear to be
fog
.
