Nice job! I love the cat photo, but all are really good!

Rory · 04-13-2011, 05:31 PM

Very nice first set. Were you trying to get star trails on the last one?

slowpez · 04-14-2011, 07:30 AM

Congrats on the new camera. Many years of fun ahead. I like the cat shot the most. Nicely done.

no

I thought that I won't get any star trails with 25 seconds exposure @35mm but appearently I was wrong.

Well, you're on crop, so take that into account, then do this formula:

500 (constant)/focal length = max shutter without trails.

For instance, 35mm on crop is 53.8mm; 500/53.8 = 9.29. So you essentially have 9 seconds before they start trailing.

looks like you are off to a great start!

You sure these are your firsts? Wow, very nicely done. I like how you really got in close to some of your subjects and each photo has a very clear subject. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

These are excellent. You have no prior experience with dslr's, or photography? If the latter then... wow!

Constantine · 04-15-2011, 06:26 AM

No I don't,but I had a lot of time to read about photography before I bought a DSLR.

I love the lighting on the first two, the cat was also cool.
