Fantastic images, on first glance you would swear it was daytime when you took these shots.

Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:00 pmFantastic. What other light sources were you using? Also, did you stack or combine images for #2 to avoid star trails?
Yes please, I too would like to find out some more of your process!
Thanks for sharing

Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:07 pmFirst shot was 40 2 minute shots combined, 400 ISO f4. Second shot was a single 75 second exposure, 400 ISO f4. No other light sources other than the fullish moon. Tonight I am going to try a 3 hour total exposure on the star trail.

remind me to ask how you know exactly where polar south is to center the star trails
Have a great trip

Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 10:02 pmGreat shots - you have amazing patience with these long exposures!
Pity there's power lines in the second one, they aren't exactly nicely placed up there are they - seemed to get into every shot I took last time I was there.

How did you determine the exposure needed to be 75 seconds?
Re: By the light of the silvery moon
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 3:45 pmOutstanding pics Big V. Love number 2. Incredible considering only natural light was used.
