First attempt at a Night Shot
Camera: K7 
Posted By: ManixZero, 04-01-2011, 06:10 PM

On my way to work the other day I was seduced by the prospect of visiting a place called Byrons Pool where Lord Byron apparently once bathed.

Upon leaving I caught a glimpse of a Radio Telescope.

I went back today,

and found this.......

K7 + Tammy 70-300mm at 300mm f11 125/s

On my way home I went back and had a go at my first night shot.

K7 + Tammy 24mm f2.5 and about 3 minutes.

What do you think? I know I should have set f8 and set the focus to the hyper-focal but I got over excited and forgot any other advice on night shots?

What time

What time of night was this taken? 3 min is long and it appears that the tripod was shaking. Wind?

The day has been quite blustery with gusts at 20mph but it calmed down a bit. In fact it was much windier when the 300mm shot was taken. Perhaps just poor focus plus the movement of the stars across the sky? The shot was at around 11pm near Cambridge UK.
