I absolutely adore your star shot Teekay!! How do you do it? I've looked at tutorials and had rather quick attempts, I get stars, but nothing like that! I suspect I don't use a long enough shutter...

Lovely early morning shot, Shewolf

Beautiful horse Ozstar! :)

Thats a cool looking shot Ranga!

Thanks MDD, that shot was taken at F2.8, 24mm, ISO 3200, 25 seconds

From what I have gathered from my Googling, you basically want the largest aperture you have with the widest angle lens and high ISO 3200 or even 6200, the ISO will depend on how high you can get away with on your camera before the the shot gets too noisy.

the longest shutter speed you can get away with before you start to get star trails is generally worked out as 600 divided by the focal length, so in my case it was 600/24=25

They do ned a fair amount of post processing though, to really bring out the stars

Oh and to have the best chance of capturing something great you really need to be away from any light pollution. There was definitely too much light in my shot so I want to go inland and into the mountains next time. And make sure the moon is either very small or not out at all. :)

I can't wait to have another go. I didn't realise when I took that shot that I wasn't pointing at the 'core' of the milky way so I really want to try and capture that. If only the bloody rain would stop :laugh:

A fantastic app I downloaded on my iPad is called Star Walk, it's absolutely brilliant for tracking what the night sky will look like on any given day. Great for planning. The weather? Not so much :laugh:
