Hi People,
To me stars....they are just a thing of beauty, and it's been known for me to literally stare at them for hours. Now i've got a 350D with a kit lens and a 55-200 Canon Lens, Also have a tripod.
I haven't tried anything yet as i've been waiting for a clear night to do it, but I'd like to know what the best way to capture stars would be.
I thought of finding a nearby field with camera on tripod and pointing directly upwards with ISO100 for say a 15second exposure? so you don't get the trails of them, which admittendly look cool with the right picture.
But I'm just going to be looking to capture just a still star filled moment, and maybe pictures of the different formations like Orion etc.
Am I on the right track for achieving this? I can't see it being to difficult.
Many Thanks
