Description
wind engine near my village...30mins at iso100 and f8.0this thing made such a strange noise...that was really scary...but i´m a grown man and very brave, so no problem for me
was very cold (-13°C) but i had my car and my radiohead CD with me so no problem
i´m really glad about this one...didnßt think it would come out good...the exposure could have been a bit longer than the 30mins i did...but it´s sharp enough and bright enough, i guess
take care

thank you!
sure bulb can do this...you can exposure as long your battery lasts

i thought the memory-buffer would run out.
have you used any filter? i think if the exposure is that long the image is very bright even at f8.0
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no filter...there was no light...except the car light i turned on twice (in the opposite direction, but the snow reflected it!)

This is really cool! It looks like the stars are bouncing off it
I tried some astrophotography for the first time the other day with my new Nikon D50 (my first ever digital SLR), and although I got some alright photos, I couldn't get it to be 30 minutes at iso 100 and f/8. How did you do that? When mine were exposed that much the sky appeared really red and grainy. Maybe it's all the light pollution where I live. I dunno.
It's a great photo.

How do you do more than a 30 second exposure on your camera? I have a 350D which I assume has similar features, but the only way I can figure to get a custom shutter speed is to set it to bulb and hold down the shutter button, which is not fun for a few minutes.
Awesome shot by the way

well every camera with the "bulb" setting can do that...you just need a cable release for that!
with that stuff you can lock the shutter as long as you want to

A cable release?
I've just skimmed a few astrophotography pages specifically for these cameras and I believe it can be completely computer controlled, which would be awesome as I wouldn't have to buy anything and probably have a lot more options
It's a bit annoying that you can't just have a custom shutter length or a setting where it's press to open press again to close. I mean, the shutter is completely computer controlled inside the camera >.<

yeah you´re right...would be a nice feature...cause cable releases are so fucking expensive for being a simple piece of plastic, with maybe a supermini chip inside
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In further reading I've found how simple it is to make a cable release, I really can't believe the prices concidering you can make one yourself with an old mini jack (or get a new one for like $1) and a switch (also extremely cheep if you can't find one)! And if you want a fancy one you could even set it up to have one button to focus, one button for shutter, and then a switch for shutter when using bulb. And it can all be made from extremely inexpensive electronics!

glad you like it!
yeah, tripod and cable release

oh cool, how did you get a long shutter speed, does it depend on the camera?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there is the B setting on better cameras (almost on every slr and on every dslr and on some pocket cameras too)...so you need a cable release where you can fix the shutter and so you can do long exposures as long as you want
