You are better off at the lower time when you up the f stop, I think 14mm 15 sec F3.2 will serve you better. VERY fine balance that you will have to come to terms with when you change f stops. Turn on long noise reduction you shot will look better even more.

Been a very long time since I have seen Orion as a belt and sword we see as a cooking pot as its reversed in the south. Remember the two shot and why they work and why they are different. The night sky is now your oyster you just have to learn to take a Vertical panorama 14mm to get



Then any thing is possible only your imagination is the limiting Factor.

Thank you Steve for your wonderful advice. I like your Esperence bow picture very much. I have done quite a lot of panoramic pictures in the past and I even managed to stitch 60 shots together of an old ruin in Hugins Panorama creator. I'll post that sometime. You have got my creative juices flowing now and a night time panorama is a great idea. Thanks again.

Stunning pair!

Thanks you William

Happy Sunday! evening!!

Thank you Annemarie. Have a great weekend.

Really wonderful. I even love the glow of city lighting. Have you visited Perth to see the 'Knife Angel'? It was made here in Shropshire at the British Ironworks, and will be in the fair city during December. Photographers are invited to enter their photos in a small competition.

Thanks Amelia, I'm glad that you liked it. I hadn't heard of this going on at Perth. I will try and visit when I'm around that area the weekend before Christmas. Thanks for letting me know and have a great weekend.

Light and civilization behind the mountain in a radiant presentation. Have a nice weekend, Chris.

Thank you Anton. Have a great Sunday!

Fabuleuse image !********

Thank you, Jocelyne enjoy your Monday.

Interesting how you have captured the light pollution!

Thanks Guido. It was really dark and cold and I was struggling with focus. That's what I like about night photography it's always a surprise to see what's captured.

The lights of the town behind the hill do not prevent the glow of the celestial vault - it's magical!
