Well said my friend!!
Mental, Oh, you have encouraged, qwelled my nerves a tad. It is good to hear, of your success. Next week I will have my attempt. I am spending the week, printing A4 images and laminating them so the kiddies can touch.
I am think of setting the canon up to do star trails. Will add some good effect, the shutter noise etc...
I can show picture now, of my attempts and what the camera is doing...(capturing 30 sec snaps)...
Oh I am excited... Sorry, I didn't read your last post, before posting this... Will you continue to do this for a number of times. Or is it just a once/twice off? You sound talented at it, from your responces.
I just have my fingers crossed there is clear skies.
