This weekend the Orionid meteor shower will be going on. Sunday is also my
birthday, so since I'm going to be staying up late anyway, I figure I might as
well go out and shoot some shooting stars.
What are good settings for shooting such things? Shutter speed, aperture, ISO,
noise reduction
Didn't you read the Pentax thread? In January all will be
revealed. (The
specifications on the E-3 don't look a lot higher than the
specifications on the K10D, except for the frame rate anyway).
About the frame rate, from DP Review's spec sheet:
Continuous
5.0 fps
RAW: 1
It's quite creepy. Looks like something out of a horror film. Quite
appropriate for October. :)

LOL ... I'd say strange or quixotic. It keeps playing games with my
