  • i have the nikon l120, it cant do anything you just named huh?

  • @SwampFoxPhotography I have no idea. It is a point and shoot, so maybe not, but it depends on the features. You may not have bulb mode, but if you have shutter priority you could still make it work.

  • so i went out shooting lightning the other day...and this thunderstorm was killer, never seen this much lightning. so i had my tripod and shit all set up, so i put it on 25 second exposure and stepped away pretty far...and its a fucking good thing i did because my tripod got hit by a bolt of lightning so there goes my camera, tripod, and shitty 18-55 lens -_-

  • i'm just afraid that the lightning might "shoot me first" instead of me shooting it first. you know what i mean..

  • @ymistillavirgin what kind of camera do you have? Bcos if you have Canon DSLR camera, and go to Manual setting, and turn the setting all the way down in shutter release until it can no longer go any lower,.. then you will see a B instead seeing 1/1000 yada yada yada... you are now in Bulb mode.

  • cheers mate this was a great help

  • @xchlppprsx That happened to me today. Same lens. :( BUT, I got another one. so it's fine. :/

  • @SwampFoxPhotography I have L120 as well...try the fireworks mode. It works. You need a lot of trial and error. One of the shot may come out nice.

  • I have a Canon 60d ISO 100 shutter 3.5 fstop 8" I've taken some awesome shots

  • i dont have shutter release can i put it on 30sec. exposure? it will work??

  • @joeiacotaco "i own a nikon d3100.."
