[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 209039, member: 12257"] How about a little bit of "exposure" photography? :) I started out trying to capture some of the night sky and Milky Way with the kit lens. 18mm, wide open at f3.5, ISO 400 and trying HARD to focus to infinity with the not so easy to adjust manual focus. The first 2 were right around 50 seconds each, the 3rd was around 30 seconds... Not so happy with 'em, but it was practice, right?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]56296._xfImport[/ATTACH] ...then, after a LONG night of gallivanting around in the dark, and nearly worn out, I had the chance to catch a pic of the "sunrise" moon sometime a little after 7 a.m. I had the ISO at 1600, shutter speed at 1/1600 and f8. Don't ask me why I chose those settings, but it came out ok. ;) [ATTACH=CONFIG]56295._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
