Love your pictures as always. Question, are you still using the same camera I have? If so, how did you get the shutter to stay open for 2-3 min? I'm having difficulty tricking it into anything longer than 30 seconds... it keeps flashing "bulb" when I try to get it longer than that. Thoughts? Hope cali is rocking your socks. -ellie Hey Ogden, what’s up?? Love your pictures as always. Question, are you still using the same camera I have?

When the camera is on the "bulb" setting, you can hold down the shutter button as long as you like. I jury-rigged a way to hold the button down with a rubber band, but there's also triggers you can buy that work much better. The noise is pretty bad with the Rebel though. The best shots I got were 30-second exposures with a wide aperature (f2.8). I tried one 15 minute shot, but it turned out way too noisy. Good luck! Hi Ellie!
