altmanor thats a cool shot-- i wish she was the only one that wasn't moving. cool none the less. I also wish I could have found that room last time I was there.
smalls, cool shit... Would make for awesome photography if he was on a beach/mountain/middle of city street/ ect.
my contribution this evening is from Vegas:

I was trying to capture individual frames with very little trailing (because I also wanted to create a stacked image of the sky with no trailing) -- so I needed a short exposure -- in order to capture enough stars with a short exposure, I had to use a high ISO. Besides, it's a trade-off. At high ISO I can use a short exposure thus reducing thermal noise. At low ISO I'd have to use longer exposures, which would increase thermal noise. Also, each camera has an "optimum" ISO (here's a very detailed, very technical discussion on it Cloudy Nights about it). For the 40D, 1600 is actually better than 800 in terms of signal/noise ratio.
Usually I do dark frame subtraction for astrophotography anyway, so I don't worry too much about noise.
dumb question, but what do you use to stack that many photos together without having your computer crash (or to you just have a really nice setup)? Do you use a remote intervolmeter (how is that spelled?) or the EOS utility? any reason to use one over the other?
Looks awesome though, and I'd love to try something similar.
hi smalls.
I like yours the most. Superb.
