I have the NikonD60 and was wondering what the max exposer I could take. I would like to take something about 15 minutes long. I am at Yosemite and it is very clear and i am hoping to catch a “moonbow”. I have the tripod and everything. Just wondering. If you have any tips thanks.
i have three batteries, a tripod and i have a remote controll to take pics, is that a remote shutter release?
To add to what Sam said, be aware that digital cameras are not the best for this type of long exposure. You will have some fairly serious, ugly digital noise with long time exposures such as this. The sensor heats up and that creates the problem. I know the Canons have a long time noise reduction function. What this does is take a second, identical timed photo after your first photo, except it does it only for noise mapping. After the second photo is taken, it subtracts the noise obtained in the second photo from the first photo. So in other words, if you take a 15 minute exposure, you will have to wait another 15 minutes for the noise reduction photo to be taken afterward. I am pretty sure Nikon has this feature too, though it can be disabled. Best not to though. Just be expecting it.
