Moon Rise @ the Beach

Yes, that is the Moon, not the sun, at the beach one evening.
I don't have a remote release so i was stuck at 30seconds @5.6
Taken with the kit lens.

Nice shot, that's a bright moon

any more C&C?

how is the picture that bright at f/5.6, iso 100, and 30 seconds?

i might have notched it up a lil in DPP (can't remember) but thats basically straight out of the camera. It was full moon and it appeared very large in the sky, it also reflected off the water too.

Not a bad shot.
As for not having a cable release, you can still hold the button down as long as you are carful. I have also used a rubber band and small wadded up peice of paper on the shutter button.

yeah i prefer not to do the bulb setting with hand. see, at 5.6 and 30 sec, if i stop down to f/11, i will need 2 minutes. i don't think the advantage of DOF would have been good enough to stop shake, but then again i didn't try it.

can you explain your rubber band method, it sounds interesting and worth a try?
thanks

You don't have to hold the shutter down..

Set bulb - push button, time, push button again.

you're kidding me right?

the night after i took this photo, i took a 450sec photo, holding the button down cause i have no cable release.

He's kidding, although he might not think he is. You definitely have to hold down or use a cable release.

yeah, cos i tried it just now it definitely had to hold it.

On some cameras I think it's possible if you do a multiple exposure.
