Hello to all, Newbie on the block.
Im hoping someone here can help me with my Nikon D5100 problem. Its been months and much reading on the internet with no help. Im trying to take star trail pics. Used to do it years ago with my film camera but I never tried it with the dig cam.
I put the cam on M followed by B, set Tamaron 18-270 lens to f3.5, put shutter release cord on and left the shutter open for 30 secs. I heard the shutter click open and it stayed open until I released the shutter upon which I heard it close. I looked at the picture and its all white. No, I didn’t have the lens cap on. LOL. Every picture I tried was pure white. Im apparently missing some other setting. Ive been researching for months have not found what I might be doing wrong. Im hoping someone here can help.
Thank you in advance for any help.
