The most common method involves using a shader named (Screen Space Shadow and Reflection... wait, no—in this context, it's TAA or Motion Blur over time ) or the dedicated LongExposure shader found in the OiD shader repo.

Whether you want to capture the speed of a cyberpunk bike racing through neon rain or the gentle blur of wind-swept grass, this guide will teach you everything you need to know about setting up, tuning, and mastering long exposure effects using ReShade. First, let's clarify the terminology. There is no single filter called "Long Exposure." Instead, the virtual photography community uses ReShade (a generic post-processing injector) combined with specific shader suites—primarily qUINT or MartyMcFly's Shaders —to create the effect.
This method actually layers time. You will use the LongExposure.fx shader.
Start simple. Go to a rainy city street, stand still, turn on LongExposure.fx with a Decay of 0.92 , and watch the headlights turn into rivers of fire. Once you master the lag and the ghosting, you will produce screenshots that genuinely look like they belong in a gallery—blurring the line between video game and fine art photography.
