Self-portrait

"Self portrait" with nearly 6 min exposure time.

Camera: Nikon D200
Exposure: 344 sec (344)
Aperture: f/9
Focal Length: 48 mm

This is how it´s done:
Camera with remote cabel release on tripod.
Camera in manual mode.
After locking the releas button I had to run to get in position.
I used the alarm on my cellphone as a timer.
Then I ran back to the camera.
Because of the long shuttertime, you don´t see me running into position and back.

Impressive to stay still enough and avoid blur, well worth the effort :)

Good grief! I start to sway just waiting for the 10-second timer on my camera to release the shutter! Did you really manage to stand that still for 6 minutes? Although I've a sneaky suspicion that you didn't. LOL Regardless, well done! :)
