I'm a bit out of my depth compared to most of the amazing photo's here, but I thought I'd share some of my first attempts at night photography... These were taken from Capertee Valley, not far outside Lithgow...
I'm certainly no seasoned pro, but I'm pretty happy with the results for a first attempt..
These were taken using a friend's Cannon 50D... I'm not sure what lens, just the standard kit lens it came with, I guess
..lol... Unsure of what other settings (ISO, exposure, etc), I pretty much just played around with the settings until I got something that looked good... I think most of the exposures were around 30 seconds, and ISO of 1600... Unfortunately, it was a full moon night, so most of the stars are drowned out, so I tried to make do with what I had...
Thanks for looking
