# Apparently I'm French aristocracy on my Dad's side ages ago.
They fled to England during the revolution and that's how I got here. Isn't that boring?

# hey, i did one of those too.
(ratface, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 19:47, archived)
# woo!
really nice one that!

what did you use to stack them? (or is it done with a "right gid" camera that can be left open for a long time? - mine has a 15-sec max exposure.)
(I helped save b3ta! dipdapdop, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 19:48, archived)
# i used my older camera, my Pentax k1000.
put it on for about a 5 hour exposure.

my new digital slr will only do 30 seconds, i need to buy a 80 dollar remote to do longer ones.
(ratface, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 19:50, archived)
# how does the remote work?
i set mine to "continuous photos" and taped the button down..
(I helped save b3ta! dipdapdop, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 19:51, archived)
# for my Canon 10D, digital slr, it would just lock the shutter open for X amount
of time i tell it to.

for my k1000, my remote is broken, so i used duct tape (makes camera sticky, but is innovative when you're in the middle of a field and you realize your remote is broken.)


EDIT - BTW, what did you use to stack them? I've been wanting to try that for some city star trailing shots, but haven't been able to figure out how to properly

# wish i'd got one that you could leave open
but i didn't know i wanted to do it until i had it ;)

more coming later tonight, anyway
