Hope this hasn't been posted before, I know a few people have seen Justin Quinell's 6 month exposure of a bridge in which you can see the different paths of the sun, but Michael Wesely has gone much, much further and you can see some of his (up to 34-month!) exposures at this website:

In my opinion, the second picture from the bottom in which you can clearly see the ghost image of the modern building is absolutely stunning.
 
it's incredible to see the passing of time like that. i've always found photographs of blurry people interesting for that reason, but these are just something else.

try doing THAT with an ND filter!
 
Just how?

How on earth did he know that they wouldn't be overexposed, or completely blown out?

How did he prevent that!

Fantastic work.
 
They should try using this exposure technique in the R&D department where I work to see if they actually do anything. :D
 
Thats some rechargeable batteries!! :thumbs: hope he had noise reduction turned off :D
 
Nice concept pushed to extremes, and great images :)
 
These images have been on here before, and from what I remember, it was taken using a pin-hole camera and exposed onto photographic paper (the old style stuff not the inkjet one :D).

Are you sure you're not just thinking of Justin Quinell (top image of the link)?

Quinell used a pinhole camera, but Wesely keeps his method a secret (leading some to suggest he uses multiple shorter exposures...)
