I have been searching all over for techincal details of Atta Kim's photography, how he is able to shoot in daylight with 8 hour exposures, etc. Has anyone experimented with these super long exposure times, and if so, how do you not overexpose the bright areas after even a short amount of time (someone mentioned ND filters, but you would need a bunch of them stacked and that would eliminate any blurring effects such as he has in his photos of NYC streets, no?)


They make 15-stop ND filters for sun photography. That will take you from 1/60th of a second to about 8 minutes. It would only take 2 to easily get to 8 hours.

It would also be pretty obvious that he uses film instead of digital so he could even be using some custom film with some ungodly low ISO.

Dood, that's hilarious. ROFL

Kudzu, seriously, man. I've got some e-mails lately . . . uhhmmmm (looking for the ads) . . . uhhhmmm . . . something called "Extra-Time".

To the OP: great art; thanx for the link.

Kind of a neat idea. The long exposure eliminates (mostly) the life from the scene. I would like to undestand how he does this. Is it with ND filters?

A link to his work:

now many nd8 filters do you need to photography a new york street for 8 hours?

and, while we're on the subject of a really long time... who, besides maybe sting, makes love for more than 15 mins? seriously?

I have always wanted to try the long exposure of a busy place like Grand Central Station. I bet you could do it in much less than 8 hours. He's a bit of a glutton for punishment.
