[QUOTE="Michael David Hiltner, post: 96911, member: 12067"] New to the [COLOR=#0000ff][B]D3200[/B][/COLOR] here. Thanks for reading my post. I hear you can create star trails on the [B][COLOR=#0000cd]D3200[/COLOR][/B]. In fact there are 2 ways to create the trails. a) 1 longtime exposure using [B][COLOR=#008000]BULB[/COLOR][/B] mode. b) make multiple shoots and use PhotoShop to blend them together. I would like to work with a) first. One long exposure, so I can pick up "Noise" (Satellites, Aircraft, Meteors, Aliens...). I have set my camera to [B][COLOR=#008000]M[/COLOR][/B](anual) Mode. [B][COLOR=#008000]f/5[/COLOR][/B], [B][COLOR=#008000]ISO:100[/COLOR][/B], [COLOR=#008000][B]BULB[/B][/COLOR] mode. Lens: [B][COLOR=#008000]Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G[/COLOR][/B]. Sturdy [B][COLOR=#008000]Tripod[/COLOR][/B] is set up and ready for the cold crisp clear nights. The [B][COLOR=#0000cd]D3200[/COLOR][/B] informs me that: [[B][COLOR=#ff0000]SUBJECT IS TOO DARK[/COLOR][/B]], and will NOT initiate a picture capture. Obviously I am missing something here. How can you override the camera to take a nighttime photo of the stars? Please remember I am a NEWBIE to this camera (first [COLOR=#0000ff][B]DSLR[/B][/COLOR]), so as much detail (which directories on the camera, etc.) would be gratefully appreciated. If there is any info that I may have neglected, I would love to assist you if you just inquire what settings your needing that I have my camera set to. Michael [/QUOTE]
