Okay, please keep in mind total newbie here....
So just for fun I brought my D3100 out to the sidewalk in front of my house this evening to try some long exposure pics of my Christmas lights. Yes, I had it on a tripod. So I was in shutter priority mode and thought I'd just experiment with some shutter speeds, 5, 10, 15, 30 secs, because again, I have no clue.
I go no further because the camera says "subject too dark". Won't let me take a pic.
What am I obviously doing wrong?
