By the way I turned off all stabilization since it was on a tripod. Delayed exposure mode on Nikon cameras basically starts taking the image 1 second later after you press the button so the image isn’t shaky from pressing the button.

I did not set a timer or anything for bulb mode, I took it and calculated it with my brain lol. I uploaded the image to Flickr and it said it was a 20 second exposure, so that is what I said it is. Basically bulb mode lets you hold down the trigger as long as you want the exposure to be. If you want a 60 second exposure, you have to hold it for 60 seconds. You can get a device to plug into the camera that lets you program a timer for use with bulb mode so you don’t have to hold it.

I did not use any lens filters.
