Light painting in KNP
Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2007 5:21 pmI spent last week at Perisher. Pulled myself out of bed at ~4.30am one morning, strapped on the snow shoes and went exploring, hoping for a great sunrise. While I was crunching away on the ice (-5 degrees that morning 
) I saw a huge bank of clouds rolling in, and knew that sunrise shots were out of the question. Given limited time, I crunched over to these fantastic rock formations at North Perisher.
Unfortunately I don't have a remote for the D200, since Nikon in their infinite wisdom decided to make the brilliant $30 wireless D70 remote incompatible with the better camera
. Hence I was limited to 30 second exposures, pushing up the ISO as needed. Light painting was done with a tiny LED torch (thanks Glen! 
) . C&C appreciated
