You might wonder what kind of high-tech camera was used to do it. Well, you don\u2019t need a fancy camera, you can take long exposure photos with your Samsung Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Long_Exposure\"><\/span>What Is Long Exposure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive in, let\u2019s talk a little about what long exposure photography is and how it works. The basic idea is to show movement and the passage of time in a static image. This is accomplished by slowing down the shutter speed.<\/p>\n<p>Shutter speed is what determines how much light can hit the camera sensor. The longer the shutter is open, the more light can get in. A classic example of long exposure photography is cars driving at night, as shown below.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-784567\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/long-exposure.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Long exposure.\" width=\"650\" height=\"350\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/motion-speed-light-london-city-1093994570\">YIUCHEUNG\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lights on the sides of the photo are actually from cars, but since the shutter was open for an extended period of time, more light was collected. You don\u2019t just get a single snapshot of the scene. The cars\u2019 movement can be seen through the trails of light.<\/p>\n<p>So, to take long exposure photos with your Samsung Galaxy phone, we will adjust the shutter speed. You should also have something to hold your phone stable, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fugetek-Integrated-Professional-Lightweight-Bluetooth\/dp\/B075WQYN3B\/?tag=hotoge-20\">like a tripod<\/a>. Long exposure captures movement, so if your phone is moving, it will look messy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Adjust_Shutter_Speed_on_a_Samsung_Galaxy_Phone\"><\/span>How to Adjust Shutter Speed\u00a0on a Samsung Galaxy Phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, open the camera <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> on your Samsung Galaxy phone and tap \u201cMore\u201d in the bottom toolbar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-784589\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-07_16-15-46.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap &quot;More&quot; in the toolbar.\" width=\"396\" height=\"171\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here are all the different camera modes you can use.
