15 Creative Long Exposures Capture a World Unseen

Firefly trails. Fireworks that look like balloons. These are just some of the long exposure photos we’ve seen over the years that opened us up to a whole new world. Today we’re taking a look at 15 photos that took long exposure to a whole new level. These photos captured movement unseen by the naked eye, and in doing so, gave us a whole new way to appreciate all the extra seconds in life. From Caleb Charland’s stunning silhouette made with matches (above) to NASA’s beautiful shot of star trails, enjoy this compilation of creative long exposures.
