1. Nice shot!

I like it.


Used to do shots like that with a star filter.

[DS1]

3. LMAO!

I just cropped the star filter out :toast:

6. (serious) LOL! That is funny!

Post the original if you still have it. I'd like to see it.

10. here ya go

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

14. Okay.... I see why this time.

LOL. If you could have gotten a good star on the porch lite and cropped the street lamp...

[DS1]

20. different shot, acceptable stars

not a really steady photo though, it was super windy last night

21. My fav of Star lenses was of a dump with streetlights....

I'll post it when I get my scanner reinstalled.

4. I like star trails....that's long exposure, right?

I don't know the hip photographer lingo.

7. Yes, point at the North Star (I think)

and leave the shutter open for hours.

The trick is getting the right star centered

8. This is actually how some animals, such as the newt,

see.

They are incapable of blinking, as we know it, and have super-long exposures per "frame."

When stalking a fly, for example, the incoming fly looks similar to a tracer round.

19. hehe

back in my younger days, I saw a few "tracers" myself, chemically induced of course. :)

[merh]

9. Is that a ghost on the porch?

:shrug:

Or was your neighbor trying to figure out what you were doing?

[DS1]

11. Dunno, we'd been in the middle of a power outage

and I wanted to catch the place without any lighting, by the time I got outside after rooting through my stuff with a flashlight the power was back on.

12. pretty creepy though

[GOPisEvil]

13. Sweet!!

I was just gifted a Nikon N2020...I'm looking forward to learning how to make nice things with it. I'm into black & white myself, but I like your stuff!

[DS1]

15. Thank you sir, may I have another!

and Brady says Hi

[GOPisEvil]

16. Gah! Nice doggie!

Like the place too - totally my style. :-)

17. Cool photo

But I must point out, in this forum, "long exposure" could mean any one of a whole lot of strange and interesting things!

[DS1]

18. Good point, it's hard to do a long exposure and run at the same time

;-)
