We were at the Taste of Westmont the other day, and I showed up with my camera. My intent that night was to take long exposure shots of the carnival rides. I'm somewhat a novice with manual mode on the camera so while I was waiting for the sun to set, I decided to experiment with the settings. The first few shots were way overexposed, but I eventually got them to a good level. To take the shots I needed a tripod and needed to use the 2 sec. timer on the camera. After a while a train came by and I thought "this will be nice".
I quickly set up, and pressed the button and nothing happened. I forgot about the timer. By the time the shutter opened the engine had already passed, but as I found out, 3 seconds of train going by still made for a nice shot.
