Tripod yay!

My girlfriend just bought me a new tripod I've been wanting one for a while so I went outside and tried a long shutter speed shot. Shot using a Fujifilm S5500

Well, tripod is excellent tool, this is one of my first shots with my Fuji S5600, ISO400, Shutter 15" (seconds), it was complete darkness.

i wish i owned a camera that can leave its shutter open

i'd take so many pictures it would be rediculous

maybe once they actually figure out how to do it well, and cheaply on a digital camera i'll have one

Yeah it is a cool feature but its one of the main reasons I got the camera for the manual controls. Dr NObody, I just checked and I have the S5600, I can only have the shutter open for 3 seconds max. How did you 15?

S5600 have 15sec. shutter, maybe your Fuji is realy S5500? but S5500 have 4sec. did you check it right?

Ahh just checked I was using the S mode, and in that its only 3" but if I put it in manual it goes upto 15" Didnt realise that thanks

its an Olympus C-750

i know it has ISO settings and stuff, i've never read the manual (since its my dad's) i remember him saying it can have time lapse, but only for like 2 seconds or something like that i dont remember.. i haven't seen anything on it that brings lapse to mind

just play around with it, maybe you'll discover something, like i did
