I wanted to shoot a very clear, starry sky. I set the camera up on a tripod, set the camera to all manual settings, and used my remote release. I opened the aperture all the way and set the shutter (at first) to 30". The camera kept indicating "low light" and would not release the shutter. I then tried the bulb setting with the same result. I have taken these types of photos before with success on my old 35mm. There were two photos I wanted: one of the milky way and then an extended shot with the stars creating swirled lines (for a lack of a better way of describing it) - the latter I would have set the shutter for at least a couple hours or so. How can I get my camera to take shots like this?
I own a Canon Eos T3 or 1100D and I got this as a beginner. I was going to by the Nikon D3100(Because it looked really cool and sexy and I liked the button layout) but I was lured to the T3 because of the number of lenses and HD video mode. But now I realize I don't use the HD video a whole lot and only want to buy 3 lenses in total. I'm going to buy a 50mm 1.8 lens this week and I also have my 18-55mm lens. I'm 14 years old and I'm going to buy a new camera after or during high school. I was planning on getting a 60D. I will not get any lenses after my 50mm lens from Canon until then so I was thinking of switching to Nikon again. I heard that Nikon is much better for stills then Canon. And I take pictures of my church and events, mostly basic things, I'm not in no means a professional photographer or want to be one, I just want to take pictures well and be a amateur. So I want to know if I should stay with Canon or switch to Nikon in a couple of years. And if you can recommend a Nikon Camera for me that is equivalent to the Canon 60D that would be very helpful. Thank you.
Added (1). BraiR, First of all I do know why I want a 50mm lens and this lens is so for the only one I feel like I need,
and I want an 'upgrade' for more flexibility in my pictures, which I will need after I get better at photography,
I was going to buy the Nikon because of it feels better in my hands, and I like the buttons,
I HEARD that the Nikon has better photo capabilities and the Canon has better video capabilities which I don't really use.
Are there any great cheaper cameras for filming short films similar to the EPIC Red Cameras? They are nearly $20, 000 and I really love the cinematic look, and how they film, but I just don't have the money. Any cameras that look professional for films? Thanks!
I already have a Canon T4i Rebel, and a Nikon D3200.
Developing photos? Came out pixelated?
So i own a nikon d5100, i used it to get a family photos of my kids and i. (using raw files) when i finished i went to walmart to printout the photos i took through USB. Then when it came out it was pixelated so bad that i can even recognize our faces. So my question is does it need to be in jpeg format? How can i get the best quality when prinnting/developing photos for portraits?

Can the Nikon d3100 be used as a camera to shoot during ski season?
I really want to buy the d3100, but I mainly want to use it to take photos and videos while skiing, because it has better quality and resolution than the gopro, etc. I just wasn't sure if the camera would be able to withstand the conditions of the snow and cold weather, any information would help thanks.
Does more megapixals the camera have take up more memory from your sd card?
I was looking into buying a nikon d5100 which has 16.2 megapixals, but then I heard about the new d5200 which has around 24megapixels, well my question is if I get the one with more megapixals will it take up more memory on a sd card then the one with less megapixels?
