Shooting a burst of images and stacking them in post-production can achieve long exposure looks and other creative effects. If you don’t have either a means of stabilisation or any ND filters to cut down the light for a slower shutter speed use then you can instead capture a series of images of the subject using a regular shutter speed. Keep the framing as consistent as possible then align the images before grouping them into a stack. Check out the stack features of your pixel editor where you can use different operators such as Mean and Median to obtain the look you want. This series of 5 images was shot at 1/250 sec and stacked to give a flow effect for the water using Minimum for the blend operator giving the same effect as using a ND filter … ![](https://discourseupload.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/f/ff36d38aca6ea70f78ccfbda0c0b97efbfdc9dcc.jpg) ---
