Thanks. I took about 100 shots and I think in total there are about 10 usable ones. The smoke affected so many of the images. It was fun though and I didn't get an ideal position either so overall i'm happy

Here are the shots from last night. I am quite happy given there was a lot of smoke and very little wind to move it on. 1. 1 by BPP1579, on Flickr"] 1 by BPP1579, on Flickr[/URL] 2. 2 by BPP1579, on Flickr 3. 3 by BPP1579, on Flickr 4. 4 by BPP1579, on Flickr

Thanks or8it. I will give those a go tonight. I am going to head out past smeatons tower to get away from the crowds a little bit but still get a good view. I will post them on later.

I did a bit of a test shoot last night. I took 15 shots on ISO 800 aperture of 6.3 and 30 second exposure continuous. I used startrax to compile the images and this is the result. I am quite happy with the result for such a short period of time. Hoping to get out on Monday night to get some...

Thanks Rico. The article is really useful. I am hoping to get out on the Moors somewhere to have a go and see how they turn out on Monday night.

Meteor shower!!! So I am thinking fo trying to get some shots of the meteor shower that is happening. I have heard that Monday of Tuesday next week is the best time. Has anybody done anything similar as I would really appreciate some advice on settings to capture the best effect/picture.

Thanks Michael. Has anybody got any feedback on the 18-135mm Canon lens?

So I have been thinking about purchasing a new lens and been toying with a wider range zoom such as the canon 18-200mm and the Tamron 18-270mm pzd but I have been generally put off by the reviews and comments about the IQ etc Dong a bit of research I have potentially decided to go for the canon...

I have had the 600d now for a few months and have the 18-55mm kit lens and the 55-250mm lens. I am quite happy with the 2 lenses I have but I am looking at the Tamron 18-270mm pzd lens for an everyday walkabout lens as I find I am having to change lenses to frequently at some events I am...

I'm thinking along the similar lines for general use. Any advice from people who have either lenses mentioned would be appreciated from me to

Ideal thanks. Fingers crossed for some better weather than we have been having and I'll venture out!!
