How do you take a 1042 second shot when the shutter speed max is 30? very interested

BULB mode, press the shutter once to open, press it again to close. I want to try this too one of these nights.

Close, you need a remote, if you just set it to bulb (or past 30 seconds in M mode on rebels) and just push the shutter down it will release as soon as you let go, so you need a remote. on a 60d/7d and rebels you can get a cheap $3 remote from hongkong, and it works great.

yes it was a 17min exp. I think tonight im going to try one for over an hr. LOL

Thanks Colin,

Will this work with Canon wireless remote RC-6?

Canon 60d size : 5.7 x 4.2 x 3.1 in.
Canon 50d size: 5.7 x 4.2 x 2.9 in

These are direct from Canon website. 60d is larger

Am I wrong?

One review gets even more precise for the 60D...

144.5 x 105.8 x 78.6mm

It should, just need to set the camera to the remote setting/ 2 second timer.

Had some fun with the 60D tonight, I popped on the Lensbaby Composer and took a walk through Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle on the way home. I ended up with some subjects I don't normally shoot (people mostly, I tend to avoid shooting people,) and some much more creative (composition and/or PP wise) than usual as well.

A Hearty welcome to POTN forum Amanda! (and New 60D owners!)
You have some very nice glass to work with and a great flash too. I bought my 430 at the same time as my 50D & 15-85mm but ended up selling because I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. Now I see the high ISO does very well on our new 60D so all is well.

Enjoy the forum & this thread and lets see more of your shots

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm missing some reach, so will head over the EF-EF-S lens section to figure out what to buy next!

ooh.. good call!

Consider taking a peak at the Tamron 70-300mm

Thanks MintMark. Ok, 24% is quite a bit larger than the 85mm I think. It sounds like it will get quite a bit closer which I think for a one lens solution will be a bit better overall for me. My mum has the 18-200 which I have played with a bit. I have found it to not be too sharp in some instances and was unhappy with a few of the results, both on tripod and hand held. Now that the Aus dollar is better I am looking at getting a decent lens.

s392 - Ahh, cool. What are you studying? I was down there in July. No probs. How do you find the sigma? is that the only lens you have?

I really need to find the time this hobby deserves... anyway, here are a couple from my visit to see the ducks. Both were 60D with the 55-250IS.

Enjoying the sun...

I tried capturing flight and movement but found it hard to get good shots. I'm usually in Av mode... but I think I should be in Tv mode with a faster shutter speed next time.

I shoot my duckies in Manual with a minimum shutter speed of 1/800th but usually 1/1000th. Because I shoot at f/9 to get the best sharpness at 300mm for my lens - it also means high ISOs usually unless its nice and bright outside.

How about some pets.. it was pretty miserable in melbourne, not much opportunity to get outside so I played papparazzi to the dogs!

Yeah, I tried it last night, it works for BULB mode as well. I bought this for my T2i, but it works flawlessly with 60D

Nice. I bought two at the same time, one for the guy at work who has a 50D. He didnt do his research so he just spent $40 on something that is incompatible Hah. The RC-6 also works with the video recording mode on the 60D if you didnt know.
