I purposely left the shooting info off of this so that y'all can guess what camera I shot with, and what settings. Those of you on Facebook that may have seen this, NO CHEATING!

Based on the length of the star trails, I'd guess about a four minute exposure.That length exposure with a high ISO would probably result in a brighter foreground, so am guessing it was not a high end DSLR.

Jeff I don’t have a clue, and as you could not pay me enough money to ever get on Facebook, I can’t cheat. The shot looks good though, at least in the small BP version, so whatever you used it was up to this task.

And I'm with Mike re Facebook so my answer too is "haven't a clue". But now I will blow your mind: that very bright streak on the far left near the top corner is Arcturus in the galaxy Boötes. But Jeff knew that when he made the shot- didn't you Jeff?

Beautiful! Here's my guess: ISO 1600, F 2.8, 30 min. I would have said ISO 3200, but you probably have a really good camera that is pretty sensitive. And I don't know Canons, so no guess for me.

I know! I know!! But I saw it on FB. I love this shot. Though I have to say when I opened it, the stars looked like they were moving and I got dizzy. LOL!

This was shot with a Canon PowerShot S120. Yup, a point and shoot camera. One of the scene mode options that you have is Stars. Within that mode you can choose a setting that does star trails. It takes 30 second exposures and stacks them in camera for the final result. The other night, I was out in Valley of Fire with a couple of the guys from my team. We all had our S120's with us and figured we'd give it a try for some star trails. We had no expectation of what results we would get. So, we all set up our cameras, set them for 90 minutes (the max available), and walked down the trail for some light painting. We came back a few hours later and were blown away by what we ended up with. I know the next question will be: That's great, but how does it look in print? Well, I'll tell you. On the CES floor, we happened to have access to a Canon 44" printer. So, I asked the printer guys if they'd run a test print to see how it would hold up. Again, I didn't have high expectations that a 42" x 30" print from a point and shoot camera would look good printed. Again, I was blown away. The results were amazing. In fact, one of the marketing guys grabbed the print and carried it around, showing it off to all sorts of people from canon. Pretty crazy. I'm including the image I shot at Valley of Fire, the original image was shot a couple of nights later, at Red Rock.
