Get Pushed Challenge: I have been doing this challenge on and off...
@annied Annie I'm not sure what it is. The stripe appears a little further to the left in the previous shot so it may be an aeroplane. Guess we will never really know! i like the idea that it's a shooting star :-)
@salza That is amazing. I sold my kit lens recently when I upgraded to a Canon 7D. I know photographers don't like kit lens but I actually have many great photos that were taken with kit lens! Did you use a tripod? Sorry for all the questions! I'd love to recreate such a pic.
@kskphotogallery Yes - tripod, remote shutter release, ISO 3200, f/3.8, shutter speed 20 seconds. Taken from my garden with a street light about 60m or so behind the camera. I did turn my outside lights off but there were lights on at neighbouring houses and of course the street light!
I think this is awesome!!! The sky is beautiful here! My camera has a max shutter of 8 sec. so I can't do stars... but it's one of things I'm super excited to try later this year when I get a DSLR!!! :)
great result for your first attempt. i wanted to do this in the islands as the stars were really beautiful but there were so many mosquitoes i just wouldn't dare stay out for long. i was shooting sunset earlier and got attacked by tiny biting insects. rued that i let it stopped me, but methinks i'd rather be cold than have malaria or denge.
