Switching to Bulb mode on a Nikon D70

Some people may not know but it is possible to get long exposure times (up to 30 seconds) on a Nikon D70. This is done by putting the camera into 'Bulb mode' as it is called. To do this, you'll need to set the camera setting to 'manual' mode and then turn the shutter speed dial until it goes into 'bulb mode'. Now when shooting, hold down the shutter button for as long as you want (this will be your exposure), when you release the button that is when it takes the shot.

A little advise, it is often better when you have something to control the button remotely while taking the shot as this will reduce any camera shake by holding down the button for a long time.

A series of time-lapse shots created with a DSLR camera

This film is called 'Eclectic 1.0' and was created by Ross Ching. It is a series of time-lapse shots that was edited together and put to music. What's amazing about this film is that it was all shot using a digital SLR camera and then edited and pieced together using Final Cut Pro.  read more »

A photography site i always come back to

If there are any sites on tutorials or information about Digital Photography check up on for some great tips, then The Luminous Landscape is surely one of them. I must admit the site design is poor but the wealth of information is amazing. I seriously recommend bookmarking the website if you're into Photography like myself.
