    Thanks Jessamy! Darren, The exposure was 30 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 6400, using a Canon 5D Mark II and 16mm lens.

    Dang! ISO 6400?? So clear. My Panasonic chokes after 1600. :P Really nice shot!

    Darren, My daughter borrows my Canon 40D which also maxes out at ISO 1600, but on new moon nights like this she does well on star shots with a 24mm f/1.4 lens. You could still use an f/2.8 lens, but there would be some star movement with an exposure of 2 minutes. Nights with some moonlight enable brighter exposures at lower ISO. On those nights you capture fewer, brighter stars (not necessarily an issue, just different); works fine for things like North Star star trails, like this: http://500px.com/photo/1212069

    Now that is cool (the shot on 500px) but there is no way you get that much trailing in 30 seconds. How is this done? (sorry, beginner here)

    Nithin, Yes, for printing dark night (new moon) star photos I have to crank up the noise reduction before saving to JPG in Adobe Lightroom, but of course a lot of noise goes away when simply reducing total resolution 25-to-1 when I save at 900 pixel resolution for online/Web use!

    Darren, That shot is a whole story in itself... 525 exposures, combined in the free StarStaX software. I'll post a link to my recent blog post on that process.

    This must be Thousand Island Lake!. I remember getting the exact perspective while I camped there. Oh, how I wish to return back there.

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+. I have a ton of timelapse footage that I haven't foun...
