Up until recently I’ve done long-exposure shots using the camera’s “self-portrait” timer because touching the camera to trigger the shutter blurs the shot. Using the timer works, but it’s frustrating because you can’t always anticipate the action you’re trying to capture. The shortest setting is two seconds, and that’s a long time.
I just got a wireless remote (Nikon ML-L3) and now I don’t have to anticipate shots anymore. These are the first pictures I took with the remote. They don’t do a fantastic job of demonstrating captured action (trains, after all, aren’t all that unpredicable), but I thought they were post-worthy pictures.
I took these on one of the longest days of the year, at midnight, and, especially in these last shots, you can tell it never got fully dark.
Do you mean “do” instead of “to”?
Fantastic photos, but are images 8 and 9 identical?
I fixed that typo — thanks!Â
And no — there’s a train pulling up in the 9th photo. But they were taken just seconds apart…
