Starry, Starry Night [69365 Catch All]
Uploaded: September 29, 2011 11:05:08
Redfish Lake, in the Sawtooth Mountains. The lights are from the dock of the Redfish Lodge.
I had to set ISO to 6400 with max aperture, and limit exposure to 20 seconds to prevent star trails. There's some noise in the photo, but it did allow me to capture the brilliant night sky.
Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 15/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 6400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Wow...this is fabulous! I don't know how you figured out the 20-second exposure, but what a brilliant capture!Now I probably won't sleep well until I figure out a way to get that camera off my wish list and into my camera bag! #9704691

Fantastic job with the exposure here, Ken! I bet you had to do some tries before you got it right. Not much noise, being ISO 6400. Congratulations on your finalist and good luck in the next round! #9750764Stacey Williams October 20, 2011 0
