That still doesn't explain how you define and measure '50% resolution' The same way as "everybody else" who wants to do it ;) Fuji did it (and still do) for their films, comparing resolving power in lp lines/mm with a 1000:1 target and a 1.6:1 target. You can achieve something similar by 1/ scanning a 1000:1 target and printing out a copy having significantly reduced the target contrast so...

This pic was taken by my Grandaughter when she was 5 1/2 taken with her mum's Pentax Optio. It was published in the local newspaper. She has an eye for odd pix as well, might post a couple later.

Thanks everyone, I did get a couple of the kids fireworks, nothing fantastic but had a dabble! :p will upload in next few days, just snowed under at the moment :(

Ah right - having had a quick look at the website gallery you won't be short of people to photograph at least! Unfortunately I can't really help on the technicalities - we don't get any night-time carnivals in my neck of the woods!

do i use slow shutter speeds? It depends upon what you are photographing. The faster the object is moving the shorter the exposure you need to achieve decent light trails. It also depends how long you want the trails to be. You have 2 options, you can either start with something like 1/2 a second and work from there by trial and error, or you could use the scientific method of calculati...

Are you shooting some different subjects? Yes and no - landscapes are still the main part of my pf, but looking at a couple of different projects Are you using different techniques with the camera? Yes, always experimenting, long lens, limited DOF, strobe work, Infreared (getting bored with that. Have you got new kit which has advanced your work? Yes, a walkabout lens, macro lens (hardly u...

It's got more to do with the lens you use than the particular camera body. Ideally, of course, you want the filter in front of the sensor changed to allow light of around the 700MHz frequency through - but that then makes the camera less useful for general photography. (If you are really interested in the technicalities, it's got something to do with the alternative electron states within hydro...

In a country where we have a lot of rain, a lot of snow and a lot of cloud days...from the perspective of an outdoor photographer (me) low light days are a reality but not a challenge. Sure, the mood of the pictures aren't the same as the mood of the pictures people take in the sunnier parts of the world but we work with what we have. Some studio photographers turn out great shots that are my...

Put the camera on a tripod pointing in the general direction of the fireworks and set the aperture at f11 and the shutter on bulb, then open shutter wait for a couple of fireworks to go of (aerial ones) then close shutter. With wide angle lens you will be surprised what you get! Dave

I got into photography through an interest in astronomy and have been doing astrophotography for 20 years. It's possible to get good pictures with fairly simple gear, your Canon should be very well suited to it. Manual exposures are what you'll be needing almost all the time, as cameras find it difficult to meter such things as the Moon. A full Moon can often be captured well with an exposure o...

Hi Ryan, Great pictures! Thanks for including the technical details and the description. It all helps me learn! Thank you, if you want to know anything more, just ask. I'm willing to reveal all of my techniques. More of my work can be seen here: www.ryanbater.co.uk , Thanks :)

Known about this for a long while, got me telescope & camera all ready. Guess what? I didn't elave the office until near 9pm thanks to a software failure and got home about 12:30. .......... :-(

taking up the entire sky this is true when the aurora is directly overhead and this is the best kind of display. However, I have never felt limited with my 24mm.

So can we have a nightime/longexposure/lightpainting category then Please Yeah Can We?... Can we?.... Come on.. Surely there are enough long exposures on each page of the gallery to have a category of our own.. I mean Panarama shots even have their own box... oooOOOOoooo.. a real panarama is cool but anyone can crop a pic like that.. Come on re-think the categories please? Enable ...
