Master the Long Exposure Workflow
In the Long Exposure Workflow with ND Filters course, you will learn all the necessary information and skills to start making breathtaking masterpieces. When I first started shooting Long Exposure photos I was completely lost. It is not an easy task to put together a robust workflow when you have no idea where to begin. With plenty of practice and a lot of long nights, I was able to establish a foolproof workflow for making incredible pieces of long exposure art and now I am going to share that knowledge with you!
