the T1 is the really thin one? i don't think you can manually change exposure time on it, other than using the preprogrammed scene modes. on your selector dial, unless you see an "M" (for manual mode) or an "S" (for shutter priority mode) selection, you won't be able to manually set your exposure time (if you see an M or S, you'll probably see an "A" as well, for aperture priority mode). that said, i think the T1 has fireworks and twilight scene modes, which might work for night shooting, as long as there is light out.

 

Did you use a remote or a shutter release to control the exposure? Ive been meaning to get a shutter release so I can mess with bulb exposures but ive been lazy to go buy one.

 

no, i've been lazy/keep forgetting to buy one as well...

i actually sat there and held it for 4.5 minutes..hahaha, i really need to go buy one...

 

how did you keep it so steady? I don't believe I could have done the same.

Love now the stars' positions changed in those 4.5 minutes

 

oh, i ment i held the shutter release button for that time, not the camera..haha, that would be some sick balancing skills... camera was on a tripod...
