Long Exposure

Assume that you are a photographer. You want to click a picture of something in the dark. The object in discussion is a beautiful object, and it glows in the night light. What would you do? You click a picture. Analyze it. It’s still a black image. Now, having known about the shutter speed, you decrease the shutter speed from [1/2000] sec to [1/20] sec and click the picture again. The picture now looks slightly better. But still not good enough to capture its beauty. So, you decrease it further to half a second, and after a few more trials, you decrease it to 3 seconds. Now you get the right picture!

To those who already know the procedure, don’t say that this is nothing new or this is uninteresting. There are countless who don’t know how to get a good picture. Similarly, you walk into a dark room. You cannot see anything at all. You might stumble here and there. You might fall. For some, the darkness in the room might feel terrifying. You can do one thing. Just stay where you are and look around for a while. You’ll start seeing things. Your eyes will work more to get whatever light is reflected in the room to give you a picture. Now you can see things in the room and don’t need to fall or stumble upon objects. It works the same way as the long exposure in the camera.

This logic can be applied to most of life’s problems. The problems appear in your life. You can observe the problem for a long time to find the solution, or at least understand whether the problem is big or not. More details are always exposed by using a long exposure time for problems. Of course, for that to happen, one has to go through trial and error to find out the parameter table suitable for understanding their problems better in slightly less time. That’s it. Just a thought popped in my head, and it seemed relevant to post even after letting it settle for a while. Don’t go for too much long exposure; otherwise, you will get an all-white image, and nothing will make sense once again!
