Tahoe, Stars and Wordpress...

A few of us drove up to Tahoe for some good times and long exposures. The first shot works out to be about 1.5 hours of exposure with the 10.5mm. The second photo is a stitched panorama composed of 4 photos taken at ISO 3200 @f/3.2 with my new Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8.

PS, I'm thinking of closing down this blog because I've been cheating on you guys with my wordpress blog. If anyone knows a way to export all of my posts from Vox --> WP please fill me in. And while I'm on the subject of leaving Vox, let me just say that the process of submitting posts to groups is ridiculous! I've used vox for over a year and still can't believe the Vox design team hasn't come up with something as simple as checkboxes! Look at Flickr's "organize group" system and how easy it is to use. It takes me more time to submit to select groups than it does to author the post for crying out loud...

Sorry for the rant...

A few long exposures

Here are a couple of long exposure shots with the new cam. Noise performance is really great compared to my old D200. The last two photos were taken WITHOUT long exposure noise reduction.

Verdi bridge (look closely for the train), 12 mins, f/8 @ ISO 200 with the fisheye, daylight WB.

Verdi bridge v2: I lucked out and got another train (2 out of my 3 shots had trains, although it is harder to see in this photo) 12 mins, f/8 @ISO 200, 12-24mm, no noise reduction. I'm not sure if I like this version better than the fisheye shot.
