First go at LONG EXPOSURES -- Bay Bridge

Recently picked up a tripod that I can actually carry with me, the Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 and a Canon intervalometer (for time lapses). I never thought it would be a blast to shoot a static subject at slow shutter speeds

This is the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, CA looking towards Oakland. There's more on my Flickr and Facebook (linked in sig).

f/16, 59 seconds, ISO 400.

Great photo, how do you like that Canon intervalometer?

I like the Canon TC-80N3. Its well built and the buttons are easy to push. I purchased it for time lapses but haven't had a chance to use it for that yet. The programming combinations are endless. I think I'm going to stick a little velcro on the back of it and one of the tripod legs so I don't have to hold the remote or let it dangle.

There are cheaper alternatives that I did not try hands-on, so I don't know how they compare.

I love night shooting! Theres so much you can do, it exercises your creativity muscle. You can slow it down a little more and have lots of fun with stars!

I plan on it when I go backpacking.

Is that one exposure or stacked? EXIF shows ~27 minutes, but thought I'd ask. Does keeping the sensor on for that long have any ill effects?

Yeap, it was a 27 mins exp and not to worry. There arent any ill effect on the camera for this. ive done exposures that were well over an hour.

Very cool, thank you. I'll have to get out of the city lights and give it a try.
