This seems to be catchup week at IR, as I'm finally clearing a lot of things from my long-term "to-do" list. Today, it meant posting the results of some *really* long time exposures I shot a little while back with several high-end digicams. The thumbnail above is the obligatory "river of lights" freeway shot, taken with the Canon EOS-1D, while the others (shot with the Nikon 5000 and Olympus E20 were taken in my backyard. (The EOS was the only one with a lens that'd stop down enough to let me shoot the 2 minute + exposure I was aiming for with the freeway shot.)
The results are interesting, and I found it quite amazing that we could actually contemplate 2 minute exposures with a digicam! To see what the results looked like for each camera, check out the picture-index pages for the Canon EOS-1D, Nikon Coolpix 5000, and Olympus Camedia E-20N! (Note that you'll need to scroll toward the bottom of each page to see the ultra-low light shots.)
