Hi, I want to start taking some long exposure photos, and possibly later putting together a few time lapse videos.
I have an entry level SLR - Nikon D3000, and I was wondering if there's a shutter release cable for it, or could I only use the Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control? - My only concern is that someone has said this on Amazon:
"I bought this for making long exposures in the D90's 'bulb' mode. In this mode, the first click of the button will open the shutter and it will stay open until the second button press. However, for some unknown reason, the shutter will only stay open for a maximum of 30 minutes! I had been hoping to make exposures longer than this and did not realize that one can only do this with the WIRED remote. Seems silly that this remote cannot do the same as the wired one and I'll now have to make a second purchase".
Does that mean I would need a wired remote for exposures longer than 30 minutes, or is that just in the case of a D90?
Actually it's not "unknown" as it says exactly that on Page 72 of the D3000 user manual.
If you want a <=30 minute exposure , use "Time" setting.
If you want longer, use "Bulb" but you'll have to hold the shutter down or devise some way of doing it.
I don't think you have the option of a non-wireless shutter release as the shutter button doesn't have an internal thread like in the old days
