Hi ! We’ve been lucky enough to have been hosted by your parents and I spent some time reading your blog. And found this picture of your lit tent under the stars. I am struggling with noise and sensor heating up on night pictures and I was wondering if you had the “noise reduction for long exposure” activated for this one or not ? (did it take twice the time of exposure before the picture is shown on your camera ?) This comment is a bit specific, but your picture is nice and I am sure you have some good advice :)
But may be you don’t have a lot of time ?! Everything is ready ? Tires pressure is ok ?
In any case, I wish you a very nice trip and a lot of fun (even if it will for sure not be fun everyday …)
Enjoy !

Hi Eric,
Good to hear from you- it sounds like my parents enjoyed hosting you.
I’m glad you like the photo- it took a bit of effort. It is taken at ISO 400, f3.5 for almost 17 minutes. I also had a head-torch (covered in tissues) inside the tent for the first 5 or so minutes. Yes- I use the long exposure noise reduction, although it is a hassle with these long exposures- you have to wait another 17 minutes to find out if the shot’s ok (and hope the battery will last).
But yes- I tend to notice the photos getting pretty noisy after an hour or so of long exposures- less time if its not winter like when that photo was taken!
Ha, yeah, not long now- I leave at the end of next week. I’m almost finished work, and have pretty much packed everything now- just need to get rid of the stuff I’m not taking.
I just had a look at your blog- I really like how you show each night’s accommodation on a map- I might have to do that too. It looks like you’ve had a great trip!
