Very cool! What was the exposure ?

WOW! That's beautiful.

I can't get my shuter to stay open longer than 30secs

He used Bulb Mode (It's the "B" on your mode dial)

Great shot, beautiful colors, that is really something.
We need a "thumbs up" smiley!!

Wow Adrian ... that is awesome.

One question I have though is ... do you have a slightly larger version of this shot?????

I have been tempted to do some bulb mode shots lately ... nights have been cooler and very clear at home ... and the Milky Way has been vibrant.

If you set your camera to Bulb, surely it can be held open longer than you state.
Just a suggestion, no critricism

Thank you for the info, great shot! Wish we could see it a little bigger!

Thanks for all the nice comments..

Great shot, the stars are incredible!

roentarre · 04-06-2008, 07:09 PM

I have never tried this and I would give it a go. Maybe south Australia has better air quality than Melbourne!

Those reeds used too be under water!
So Victoria please send us some water to fill up Lake Alexandria and the other lower lakes @ the end of the Murrey River (-;

don't the photos get noisy when for very long shutter times? and what's camera darkframe?
