  2. Cool G+ feature. Click on "Actions" under the picture and then "Photo details" and you can see info about the shot. This was taken with a Canon 5D.

  8. Julie S When you enjoy a good meal, do you ask what stove or pan was used? Here's my blog post on creating Milky Way images:
    http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/05/producing-milky-way-images.htmlI captured this image with my Canon 5D mark II, but I can take a nearly identical shot, perhaps better with less noise, with my older Canon 40D. Here's a shot my daughter took on the 40D:

    She won Runner Up (second place) in the Young Astronomer category of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2011 competition with that one. The only differences between the two cameras would be a 16-35mm lens at f/2.8 on the 5DII (ISO 6400) vs. a 24mm lens shooting at f/1.4 (ISO 1600) on the 40D.

  9. For the first time, let's hear it for light pollution! The glow launches this into new dimensions while sandstone arrows point the way to infinity. Superb.

  10. Lee Daniels I guess I need to go back here and shoot someone in a Buzz Lightyear costume in the foreground... "To infinity and beyond!"

  11. Lee Daniels Halloween workshop!! Everyone wears a costume, and takes turns serving as a model. Could be done the weekend of October 28/29... night workshop, "spacey" attire preferred. Could be the next Burning Man (which is already a bit like living inside of the movie Blade Runner for a week)..

  14. Thanks Julie S, virtually any DSLR has access to a wide f/1.4 lens, although the DSLRs with small APS-C sensors will have a "lens factor" which reduces a 24mm lens to an effective 36mm or 40mm, so there is an advantage to cameras with full frame sensors. The rumored replacement to the Canon 5D mark II may come int eh October to January timeframe, so there may be some used bodies coming on the market in the next few months.

  15. oh wow thanks for the heads up!! I'm still trying to figure out what camera is best for me. Well...and money I guess is also a factor but I think being on here helps me see what you guys do & when I see photo's like yours it gives me goosebumps b/c I would LOVE to take photo's showing stars and such!! I guess mainly I want a camera that can do the I SEE or want to do. Right now it's kinda hard but I try to work around it. I don't have a DSLR YET mine is like a step down (Canon SX10 IS) so I have some of the same features. :O) Thanks for the info! I appreciate it very much!!
