Took myself out last night with my new remote shutter release to try some long exposures.
I had some trouble using my Nikon D7000 in bulb mode with the remote (ML-L3).
I set the remote mode to Mirror Lock up and remote on the in camera menu, pressed the remote to raise the shutter then pressed a second time to take the shot then timed with a stop clock the exposure time and pressed again for a third time to complete the exposure, however when I pressed the release the third time I was not convinced the shutter had closed as the camera appeared to be dormant for some time. I assume this was as the camera was carrying out long exposure noise reduction which at the time I hadn't twigged.
Can anybody tell me if I was doing this correctly and why does the camera not have a timer to count the shutter speed in bulb mode rather than relying on a stop clock?
Anyway C&C on the picture welcome, I resorted to a 30 second exposure on this one as the bulb mode was too hit and miss.
