Broken Camera

Mon Nov 3, 2008, 3:19 PM

Well... I knew it couldn't be too good. My camera's command dial just broke. It doesn't work at all. This is how I would choose my manual settings and now I can't.><

I was out shooting a cool alignment of Jupiter and the moon and... I can't change the shutter speed ("Whaaaaaaat?!"). I looked it up and this is pretty much a defect because it has happened to sooo many people. I hope it's still under warranty. If not... then I can't shoot any astrophotography pictures for a while

What a nightmare! I hope you get it sorted very soon ! I bet that would have been a cool shot!

Thanks.

I thought it was a cool shot, I had some nice foreground too.>< The only shots I got were, too dark (Jupiter is just about a pixel), or over exposed and slightly unfocused.

It's so aggravating!

ah, that's ok.. We all get these times when trying to take pics! I'd tell you about my bad times outside, but i haven't got all night! lol! I've lost count of how many times I've set up, polar-aligned, found something, focused, then the clouds have rolled in! Then pack away gain.. wastes over an hour! Ah well, gotta take the rough with the smooth ! You'll get some good ones soon

Oh nooooo! At least that's never happened to me yet... When the nights are clear, they usually stay so until the morning. Then they can get more cloudy.
