Thanks a lot Garry! I will try out tin foil idea tonight.

ok, with a light tent it is like this now. a daft question: how do I get rid of the black shadow (that is me and my camera) at the front?

please tell me how to make gold as shiny yellow. I have a couple flashes set up as one fill, one give it a kick of sparkles. But it just not right.

I realise I am living in many people's dream. I wish I have a Leica M6 but most importantly I wish I have time to travel around and play my kit. Also an assistant (robot accepted) to carry the kit for me would be nice.

I was thinking about went to sleep for a good few hours and only collect the kit in the morning :lol:

Why not focus on infinite?

It was just me (sigh...) being first time stargazer, I deliberately paused a few seconds between frames (which I shouldn't), also adding 2seconds that triggered use self-timer. Failing the intervalometer solution I should have use a remote control. hence you see the dots, rather than a very...

this is my personal best. I didnt use PW MultiMax as intervalometer - in a rush I didn't get the right cable for the job. So end up press the button every 35 seconds (30secs explosure, 5seconds break - I should not do that) This is 39 photos stack up. the meteor at 12 o'clock are from two...

I will be camp out on Weymouth for the Sailing for both night. This will be easy! Set the camera up before go to sleep, use PW Multumax to do time lasp on auto, chain a bicycle lock to one foot. As far as I can see, the only problem is the moon.

went there today. watched last bit of williams sisters double. with 400mm, no questions.asked. did they got me on tv?
