I braved the cold while two other wimp'd and i got results to show for it

Man it was chilly out there.. 5ºF with wind = But 2 hours and i got decent shots. I was pleased

I actually missed a really really big meteor streaking thru the sky.. my camera was pointing at the other direction ISO fisheye.

Wonderful pictures John! :envy:

No trails on the first one, even with such a long exposure, and no noise in the second. That's what a 5DmkII can do
Plus your watermark is much better now

:envy:

Thanks Alan!

ISO3200 and 13secs on first.

4777 second exposure on 2nd pic

Watermark wouldn't end up so nicely without your suggestions

stick to black / grey / white for the watermark. really, it´s super anoying in the pictures.

Wow! only 13 seconds on the first shot???? That's awesome, I really like these! You must get really bright stars there.




I think it looks alright, no? I don't get why people are so picky with watermarks

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
That first one is soooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!!
I love it!!!!! I love it!!!!

I like the first one also.

Awesome. "Hate to say I told you so"

those are both amazing

Well, treat it like a signature



Well i originally wanted to shoot these at a State park roughly an hour drive away to get away from the light pollution.. but the two guys backed out and i don't want to go alone (since there are coyotes and bears).. Yes yes, i chickened out

So i had to shoot these in my backyard. There was a patch of sky that has alot of stars, but he moon was out and the light from it would kill the shot.. Then i have to avoid the streetlights and other people's chrstmas lights. BAH. The stars show up so bright was probably due to my ISO3200's sensitivity.




Thanks!



Told me so? I'm lost
