When shooting in low light conditions with slow film at small apertures, exposur e times can easily exceed one second in many cases. Does anyone know of an effec tive method for accurately timing exposures that exceed one second? I am using C opal #0 and #1 shutters with a cable release. I have tried counting "one-thousan d and one, one thousand and two..., etc) in my head while the shutter was open, which is not a very consistant methodology, as an error of 1/4 second on a two s econd exposure is significant. I've also tried cocking and firing the shutter tw ice at one second exposures each, but that introduces the possibility of moving the camera between exposures. Any ideas?
