Decided it was time to play in the dark. I got out my remote timer and tripod and ventured into the backyard. I tried flowers, solar lamps, the pool and a few other objects around the yard. The above picture is one of our solar lamps. I used the 'bulb' setting. I believe I kept the shutter open for about 10 seconds but I can't remember because I changed objects and settings often. I did learn that when taking picutres in very low light you need to have it on manual focus. Well, at least I did.

Day 210 - Night Lamp

Day 23 - New Toy
I ordered a remote cord for my Canon during the Christmas break. I purchased it off eBay from a company based in Hong Kong. It only cost $30 and shipping was absolutely free. My only complaint (very small) is that the battery was almost dead. However, since one of these 'toys' usually cost $100 plus I'm definitely not complaining.
Of course I had to play with my new toy right away so I ran out, bought a battery and starting shooting. The shutter was open for about 17 seconds for this shot and I put my hand and remote in front of the box for about 90 seconds. I thought the effect was kind of neat so this is today's picture. I look forward to much more playing and many more photos.
Cheers!
