Bulb exposures
When making bulb exposures, noise can be more pronounced because of the unusually long
exposure times, especially at 400 or 800 ISO. When making long bulb exposures, a camera
sensitivity setting of 100 or 200 will produce excellent results. At higher ISO settings, using
shorter exposure times (8 seconds or less) will reduce the effect of noise.
