The D90 has to have a manual shutter speed on it. I'd be very surprised if it didn't because my d5000 has that option.

I hope so

Just need to break out the manual...

Unfortunately I didn't have it with me on the trip, or internet to pull one up online.

No BULB setting? that's what you should be looking for, though I don't know that model camera very well.

It did have a bulb setting. And that does?

You can keep the shutter open as long as you hold the button down. It's manual shutter time.

brakkum · « **Reply #495 on:** August 08, 2011, 10:11:47 PM »

precisely. it's recommended you use a remote of some sort to trigger it, so you don't actually have to hold down the shutter yourself. Be sure to use some in camera noise reduction if you're doing it though! hot pixels are a bitch.
as for me, here are a few quick shots i did at a gig/vacation i had last week.

Damn... should have tried it. I wish it had the screw in shudder mech like the old film SLR's had.... that way you don't have to hold it (Don't want to jiggle the cam)

As stated in my last post, you should use a remote with it.

A reminder and a show of my latest stuff: My tumblr and photoblog.

https://flarnie.tumblr.com/

Naturally it's not only my stuff on there, since the idea of tumblr is reblogging, but compared to other users I know my reblog/original material ratio is extremely small...

That's a waterfall somewhere in Yunnan province (I think it's in a town called Dali)

Also, I like taking photos on aeroplanes. No idea why.

And finally, a tree in the winter.

brakkum · « **Reply #501 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:05:27 PM »

Cool, what were those taken with?

Sketchy · « **Reply #502 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:49:48 PM »

Canon digital ixus, and a few months of playing around and working out what looked good on the camera.

brakkum · « **Reply #503 on:** August 09, 2011, 01:21:46 PM »

The camera looks to have really bad lens flare. I would recommend not shooting into the sun with it, as the flare just kinda distracts from what you are trying to accomplish. Do you use manual mode?

Sketchy · « **Reply #504 on:** August 09, 2011, 01:24:21 PM »

Not on those ones, no. I actually quite liked the lens flare, it just makes it look odd, and I just like the effect.

I'm wierd like that.

Some pictures I took while I was in Europe.

Guyz guyz!!! Finally did my first Mock shoot. We were just testing out our new lighting/backdrop setup at work today. These are the first two I've gotten around to doing! Lemme know what you think.

Downloaded Photomatix Pro and have been messing around with bracketed exposures and tonemapping. Trying to find a balance between HDR and fake. Here's two I did today.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #511 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:35:03 PM »

Well, a couple days ago, I was on a walk and happened to stumble upon a murder:

Of crows, that is.

Nice shots! Like the dragon fly! I just bought a nikon 105mm micro VRII, I'm in the process of trying to learn how to use it...LOL. It's TOUGH! I need to practice before taking it underwater.

Haven't posted in this thread before so here's some of my photos. Currently 16 and self-taught - just about to take photography for A-Level and really looking forward to it

Very nice..... The 2nd shot is exceptional.

Ok, so I just entered a contest called Capture Minnesota, which could lead to possible publication of some of my photos. I would really appreciate it if some of you could go and vote here for your favorites. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Thank you so much

Means a lot to me!

Every year in late August we have something we call a "lyskväll" here, where we light a bunch of candles by the river that runs through the city. Kind of a tradition that marks the end of the high summer, and the start of the fall. Last night I went out to try to capture this, but my lousy camera didn't quite do it justice.

brakkum · « **Reply #521 on:** October 05, 2011, 02:15:36 AM »

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been posting here, life has been ridiculous lately. Here is the photography I've been up to for the last month. I started doing headshots for friends and students at my school. Pretty damn cheap too!
