exposures longer than 1 second?

[Frank Petronio]

And in the end, since judging the precise "correct" exposure is next to impossible, if you really want the shot (and why are you out in the dark in the first place?), you do this quaint practice of BRACKETING.

If it is a decent photo then it's worth a few sheets of film. I ain't like you're stopping action here.

It cracks me up to drive on the interstate at night and see the glowing little GPS screens in virtually every passing car or truck. If the satellites ever die, the only people who are going to be able to find the next state will be old farts like you and I. Well, actually, I'm not all that old, an honorary old fart, if you will... Presumably, you too.

If you take a piece of string and tie a washer to one end and mark the point on the string that is one meter away from the washer, you will have a portable metronome. Fits easily in your camera bag or pocket. Just hold the string at the 1 meter mark and give the washer a push. If you are near a tree limb, you could tie it to that to free both hands. Try it, it works!
