Got bored last night and tried a little night photography: http://jcoconnell.com/temp/nightpool01cs.jpg
There are three light sources here. Building lights, pool light, and near full moonlight (overhead). I metered off one of the buildings doors and came up with 30 seconds @ F9.5. So I exposed at 30 sec, 1 min., 2 min., 4 min., and 8 min. Ended up using the 8 minutes exposure. Never hurts to bracket! :) The scene was WAY darker than it looks in the pic.... There were a coupla short star trails, but they didnt look very good so I removed them in photoshop. Kinda grainy, next time I'll use the P67, but not sure if the 45mm Lens on that camera will be wide enuff. Might even try a fisheye... Camera: Pentax SL (M42) Meter: Gossen Multi-Pro Lens: Mamiya-Sekor SX 21mm F4 (great M42 wide-angle) Film: Tmax 400 ISO 400 Exposure: 8 minutes @ F9.5 Tripod: YES J.C.
