Jessy takes great late night pictures, and I asked her to show me some of her secrets. We walked down to the beach and set up our cameras on tripods, and then commenced shooting. For the stars, 1000 ISO for 8 seconds was just about right for my D90. For the buildings, it was 85 seconds to get an interesting profile with a starburst effect from some lights.

    I have a telescope that never gets used anymore. I should try to combine that with my Nikon and see what happens. If I drive 2 hours west to Possum Kingdom, I'd get billions of stars for sure. It is so dark there, and the sky is vividly bright at night.

    Very nice. You should try some light painting as well. Same technique but use a flashlight to paint an object in the foreground. can make for some very nice images.

    I'm shooting with a Nikon D90, and used a 50mm lens. It was set to infinity, 1000 ISO, using a tripod and IR remote trigger to avoid any camera shake. Images of stars took 8 seconds; any longer and they looked elongated due to the rotation of the earth. Images of the buildings was 85 seconds.

    Thanks for info, it seems reefing and photography go hand in hand. I knew reefing was $$$ but really had no idea photography was sooooo $$$$ will one more item on my wish list. ( the stock of Amazon will go up if I ever buy all the items on that list).
