how to create daylight long exposure photography without ND filter
welcome to psdesire photoshop & photography Youtube Channel.
Have you ever wanted to take a long exposure landscape shot in bright
day light but didn’t have a ND filter with you?
In this photography tutorial, we'll learn How to make and create beautiful
long exposure photpgraphy in bright sunny day without any ND filters
First things you need: DSLR, Tripod, and photoshop
first place dslr on tripod and set focus.
then we need to take some random shots.
i used time inverval feature from my dslr to do this.
i captured shot between time interval of 2 sec for 10 minutes.
that is we get 30 shots for 1 minute and 30x10=300 shots for 
10minutes
here are photographs taken with camera.
if u take 300 shots with Shutter Speed 1/50th sec with Aperture 2.8
then mathematically [shutter speed x no. of shots] equals gives final 
exposure time.
in this case shutter speed 1/50th sec x 300 shots = 6 sec long 
exposure
once you got all shots captured then copy to your computer.
now its time to combine all photos into one shot.
open photoshop. goto file tab and select scripts.
and then choose load files into stack
browse the photographs which we copied into computer and select all 
and click ok
please ignore any blurry and out of focus shots before selecting.
it may cause distortion in final output.
if you doesn't have rock-solid tripod or taken shots with handheld
then please tick this option automatically align source images
and also tick create smart object after loading layers and click ok
Depending on the number of images and their resolution,
the process might take quite some time and eat lots of memory.
Photoshop combines the multiple images into a single multilayered 
image,
converts the layers into a Smart Object, and applies the selected stack 
mode.
now goto layer menu tab and smart object and then select stack mode
in stack mode please choose mean
What it does is reads each pixel’s value from every frame and computes 
the average.
it also cancel out noise as well.
here it is we got smooth long exposure shot
You can use it as a substitute method for create star trails
ghosting and many many things.
It’s basically the digital equivalent of the multiple exposure mode in the 
film era.
i want to stretch the bottom part of the photo using content aware tool
take a crop tool and extend the document height.
now take a rectangle marquee tool and select area
i recommend you to select just near to edge, don't go far beyond the 
edges
goto edit and select fill
[shift - Backspace key shortcut Displays Fill dialog box
select content aware tool and check color adaptation for color 
gradients. then click ok
finally duplicate layer and adjust some hightlight and shadows using 
camera raw filter
Here is final output.
So, instead of taking just one shot, you can take 20-30 shots,
trying to keep the camera steady. and finally combine them in 
photoshop.
