You guys have got to check out these images of California at night. I don't quite know how they pulled it off. But it is definately cutting edge work:

It looks like they combined multiple shorter exposures which give the stars definition (eg - less than 30 seconds/higher ISOs).

Shooting the milkyway and galaxies at night has been something I have really been wanting to try. And with the lower noise sensors it is now more possible. The conditions still have to be just right.

Very :cool:
I especially like the running video coming down from what appears to be Key's View out at JTNP, except maybe the extremely small section where they hit one of the right angle roads and parking area out there in the scene, otherwise a nice stream from that local. :wink:

Very cool! I can only imagine how incredible that must look in HD. The real trick to me is how they managed to take 30 second exposures (which were effectively 60 second exposures after processing) and keep the batteries alive that long haha!
