Heres my lame attempt at shooting star trails.

Yes i know its not perfect.. im working on it lol..

Also that long line in the middle is the airplane crossing over.. I wonder if my stock kit lens can handle this at 17mm.. I need something wide hmm

This was with my 50mm lens..

Will give it another try tomorrow..

Also i need to find the southern Polaris.. hmmm

some nice pics guys

siddr20 - not a bad effort - how long was shutter open for? you have a remote or how did you do it?

what did you have the camera on? and most puzzling of all - how come the trails look like dots?

(this one was with exposure: 59.1 sec so yours must have been aaaages)

Which link? my stars one? how about THIS?

As for remotes - i bought THIS cheapy and it works and the quality is better than i expected.

Have only tried normal photo's haven't tried doing bulb WITH the remote (can test tonight though)

Yea its still in the making..

Will try again tonight if the skies are clear!! Hopefully this time it comes out a lot better!!

Might try it with my stock kit lens.. I need something wide!! hmmm

As for how long the shutter was open for.. well 30 seconds.

Once i get it perfect i will share my exact method.. Coz right now its just all trail and error lol

zennon your linky no worky. on the 450d, bulb is the next option after the 30sec exposure. i need to buy a remote

If you can find out if the the remote switch for the 450d is the same as for a 350d, then you can buy mine for like 5 bucks or something!!

If it doesn't work, i will give the money back.. Since the 450ds are new im sure they changed the plugs?? But im not too sure!!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
