I got some new toys in the mail the other day, and I’ve been having a ton of fun familiarizing myself with them:

I want to do some star trails when we go on vacation, and once upon a time, I knew how to do it.  But that was a good ten years and three cameras ago, back when I still used film.  I finally found the part of my camera manual that gave directions on how to do long time exposures, and it said that in order to do exposures of longer than thirty minutes, I’d need a cable release.

Hello, Amazon?   Can you help a girl out?
