New to the D3200 here. Thanks for reading my post.
I hear you can create star trails on the D3200. In fact there are 2 ways to create the trails.
a) 1 longtime exposure using BULB 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 M(anual) Mode. f/5, ISO:100, BULB mode.
Lens: Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G.
Sturdy Tripod is set up and ready for the cold crisp clear nights.
The D3200 informs me that: [SUBJECT IS TOO DARK], 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 DSLR), 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.
