    Hi Antonio,

    The actual exposure is timed with a Canon TC80-N3 Counter / Timer, but I calculated the exposure simply by starting at F2.8 and working from there (although from experience I can get them pretty close by "guessing" anyway) (there's a LOT of lattitude in long exposures; eg 1 min or 4 min would probably have worked just as well, after adjustments).

    Hi Colin
    I don't have the TC80-N3 but the lower one. A shame. I should have bought one like yours not the down graded.

    Thank you for the tip !

    The TC80-N3 is a nice piece of kit - I use it practically every shoot. The joy of it is that you can tell it to wait "X" number of hours / minutes / seconds and then take "X" number of "X" Second shots, waiting "X" time between.

    With the standard remote release you'd just have to time it with a watch (although Canon require that the watch be a Rolex if your shooting with a 1D series camera)

    What would be great is if Canon just let us choose longer exposure times on manual!

    OK, all understood ...

    ... and X = ?


    (a subtle (and not very good) joke for the engineers among us)

    That's what makes me an "X-spurt" (X being the unknown quantity, and a spurt being a drip under pressure!)
