Day 79, 2013 - Stars
Tonight we had rain followed by a clearing and clear air. Although the moon was still bright I had ideal shooting conditions for being in the city. Really getting this to come together nicely which is making me really excited to go somewhere remote and shoot where the stars seem to light up the sky like it's on fire. Here in the city I see about 1/16 of all the stars that show up in the picture.
Thanks again for all the help here on this help and a particular thanks to Whitelight who chatted directly with me to dial in my skills and answer some questions.
ISO 200
Aperture 3.5
Focal length 18 mm
Exposure 10"
Focused on a bright star then switched to manual to hold focus
Shot in "Live view" to steady the camera by minimizing the movement in camera
Shutter release by remote
