[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 27098, member: 1746"] Since we are sharing setting and techniques here, I don't want to go off topic but for informational proposes here for any one who want to try this or any night photography and use the shutter button instead of the remote. I have to ask, your tripod is not one of those cheap ones you find at Wal-Mart is it? I have found by experience the Wal-Mart cheapies do hold your camera still, but you can not touch the camera as you would if you had a higher end tripod and not get camera shake. This would include pressing the shutter button with your "steady" finger. A good tripod talking round numbers is going to cost your $100 and will not come with a ball head and you will spend another $75 for a ball head. I don't think your going to find this kind of tripod at your Wal-Mart discount stores. I have a higher end tripod and ball mount and found it to be 1000 times better then the Wal-Mart type. [/QUOTE]
