[QUOTE="dh photography, post: 383459, member: 25354"] I just picked up a timer remote shutter release to ease in long exposure shots and for playing with star trails and such. I set it up earlier this evening to try my first star trail shot. I have the remote set on 30 second exposure and 150 shots. My D7000 was set to bulb mode, infinity focus, and f2.8. The problem I ran into seems to be that after each 30 second exposure, them timer is wanting the next exposure to immediately begin again; however the camera itself is taking quite a while to internally process the exposure before allowing another to be taken. Also each of those delays are actually showing up as basically black exposures. When I processed the images into a trail you can see the delay in the shot as very dotted trails rather than more of a group of solid streaks. Is there any way to reduce the cameras necessary internal processing for long exposures? Maybe a way to have the timer taking 30 second exposures but also delaying it's command for the next shutter release? Amyone familiar with taking star trails that might point me in the right direction?? [ATTACH=CONFIG]125605._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
