I regularly shoot 5-20 minute subs for astrophotography using an external wired timer.

Longest was Ecktachrome slide of night sky at Polihale state park, Kauai, Hawaii. Maybe the darkest place I’ve seen. It is unscanned as is a shot of Glacier peak Washington. Both in the 3 hour range. The attached is 30 sec

This was, if I recall correctly, a 45 second exposure onto Ektachrome slide film using a Nikkormat FT camera--it was in 1970 and I don't remember what lens it was, possibly a Tamron 28-200 zoom. It is of the Parthenon illuminated by the full Moon. I spread my coat on a rock and set the camera in place on it and held it steady in place for the 45 second exposure.

For those saying I should have used a tripod, on nights of the full Moon when the Acropolis is open to tourists, tripods (and flash) are not allowed. I did the best I could under the circumstances.

About 26.5 minutes. I am learning about night photography and star trails. Haven't started using an intervalometer yet. F-5.6, ISO 200, focus on infinity, manual exposure.
Lovely, Wanda ... fantastic!!!
What mountain is that, in Tennessee?

Where do you wire it to, Bwa?
Just the remote connection, or ... ?

30 seconds at night in an unlit area of the lot I did not like the glare from the flash so grabbed the tripod and used timer to get the shot for the owner

You can do extraordinary things with long exposures - can't you?

Now, this is interesting, Chi ... is the long exposure responsible for the color changes, here?
What I'm seeing is a two-tone car, with a dark green bottom, and a dark blue top ... which is also shared by the buildings in the background ...
Am I seeing true colors, Chi ... or is the long exposure changing the colors I'm seeing?

As opposed to a wireless timer.

Self portrait at Wave Rock, Western Australia. Sky ten minutes. The shutter was locked on Bulb for around 20 minutes while the light painting was done with a small head torch. Five minutes from my location and five more from behind the camera.

Interesting picture, there, Jeff ... clever how you did that ....
How did you spot it to begin with?
Many hours behind the telescope, huh?

Well, how ingenious is that!!!!!
Dennis ... did you come up with the idea to do this, yourself?
Why didn't the camera catch your own movement when you returned to it?
