Hmmm. That's good to know. Usually I use bracketing with the self-timer, I am not completely sure but I hope the mirror stays up for all the shots. I will check. My camera is K5IIs, by the way.

I am not sure about RC 3 second delay mode as I am not using that often. In the manual it says it disables SR, but I don't know how the mirror behaves.

I am sure however that the self-timer 2 seconds mode does both, disables SR and also flips the mirror up before shooting. From the (K5IIs) manual regarding self-times 2 seconds:

"Self-timer (2 sec.): A mirror pops up immediately after the shutter release button is pressed. The shutter is released after about 2 seconds."

"The Shake Reduction function is automatically turned off when self-timer (2 sec.) is set."

This is why I mostly use self-timer 2 sec. mode: no remote needed, disables SR, MLU.

Condition 3 is for sure. I would not go below f/8 - f/13 to avoid diffraction, which causes the image to be soft.

"Every SLR has a mirror which must be moved out of the optical path before a photograph can be taken. When this mirror moves (and especially when it stops moving!), it causes vibrations to be set up. These vibrations move the camera (and attached lens) around and can lead to a loss of image sharpness."

"The solution to this problem is Mirror Lock Up (MLU), where the SLR mirror can be locked in the "up" position, vibrations can be allowed to die out, then the shutter fired."

More info here.

You can use remote control with MLU - if I remember correctly, when you first press the remote control, the mirror flips up, then you wait a bit and press again and the shutter opens. Or you have the 2 second delay function which I use almost all the time, because you don't need a remote control. You set the camera on the tripod in 2 second delay mode and press the shutter. The mirror immediately flips up and then the shutter opens after 2 seconds (allowing the vibrations of both mirror and your hand pressing then shutter to die out).

Hope that helps.

Something went wrong there - vegetation could be subject to some wind but rocks should be much sharper even with the kit lens. I have similar examples but not posted.

Possible problems:
- if windy the tripod might not be steady enough, especially in the case of cheap, not sturdy enough tripods. Also keep in might that if you set one of more of the tripod legs in the sand, it will probably slide down gradually during a long exposure;
- focus problems: sometimes one can set focus manually and then ruin it when mounting the filters;
- vibrations when you press trigger - I would not use a remote with MLU or the 2s delay function on the camera (which automatically enables MLU).

EDIT: just checked the f-stop and found f/40.... :) so you have quite some diffraction going on here.

Some of my first photos with the K5. I didn't have a tripod back then and so I ended up with some ridiculous shutter speeds, but I didn't know about that either :)

Thank you! that was my first photo with a tripod I guess. Feeling kinda guilty I don't use the kit lens so much nowadays.
