[QUOTE="cronix, post: 188225, member: 16161"] It can be done, bulb ramping with a Nikon. I spent two years on building a hand held unit that can do it. My controller can even control (and ramp) two cameras. That way you can make 3d time lapse movies or you can have two camera that use two different ramping profiles. Here is the result of a full auto test. That is done with a light sensor that measures ambient light. These measurements are then used to calculate the ramping speed. The video is a bit too light at the end because of a setting that needs a bit more tweaking; but that is solved now. The shutter speed was ramped from 1/200th to 2.5 seconds. I used bulb from 1sec and slower. The ISO was shifted from 100 to 1600. This is all done automatically via USB: [url=http://vimeo.com/72607537]Nikon D800 ramper test - 14 stops on Vimeo[/url] [/QUOTE]
