It has happend to all of us that we see something beautiful and then we try to capture it on film and realize that the camera sees things differently. Well this works sometimes to our advantage, because another thing that our beloved cameras see different is motion. And thats exactly what we want to do here with long exposure. Leaving our camera exposed for longer periods of time. I think you can already achieve great results with exposures starting with 1/25 of course this is not a rule.
Here's an example of one of the photos of my "Modern Mexico embracing tradition series"I placed my camera on a tripod and with 1/25 let the camera do the work. First the moving water due to the funtain and the wind was very distracting of the beautiful architecture and blend of colors. The ripples have smoothed out and we have some degree of reflections but they are not distracting anymore and overall there is a feeling of peace. The whole scene seems to be moving but its not. This picture I took a couple of years ago and the intention was to leave some sort of "texture"to the water, nevertheless revisiting here I guess it could be an interesting picture having a little longer exposure.
