[QUOTE="benz145, post: 126619, member: 13347"] I have tried the S-mode, but like you said, the camera apparently can't take itself down to astrophotography levels. So with the timers you are talking about you can program it to reduce exposure over a specified period of time? How much control do you have over this? I imagine it would be really difficult to manually program the exposure change over time -- you'd also have to make it go from short exposure (sun up) to long exposure (sun down), and then make it stop reducing the exposure but continue to shoot (so that you don't get star trails). Have you used one to capture such scenes? From what I understand, the term 'bulb ramping' refers to subtly increasing/decreasing the length of exposure as light increases/decreases (the term makes more sense if you think about a star to sunrise scene). Maybe I'm wrong though : / [/QUOTE]
