This week was all about solving problems. When I discovered my camera did not have a "T" setting I was forced to hold the shutter release for several minutes at a time, making my long exposure images even more difficult to take. Many nights it was below freezing and working with bulky gloves was next to impossible. Often, I chose to forgo the gloves and expose my bare skin to the cold and wind.
I went to my local camera store in search of a solution. I found a remote shutter release for my Nikon D5000 that was under $30, and when paired with my camera, allowed it to function as a Time setting instead of the Bulb setting.
Also as promised in my last blog entry, I continued shooting HDR images and am very pleased with their outcome. When shooting several images of the same scene to create the HDR, I encountered yet another problem. Because the individual exposures were so long themselves, the moon would move slightly out of position each frame. When combined to make the HDR, the moon had an unnatural amount of ghosting. I haven't yet figured out how to correct that problem, but I'll keep you posted!
