amateur photo...

Tried to take pic of sky with 60 second exposure on tripod. Comments? Is this any good? Anything I can change to improve shot?

Looks pretty cool, but I have no idea how to do the 60 sec exposure stuff.

I’ll be honest, when saw the title I was expecting something different entirely.

oops, that was not noticed when I posted.

Yep, definitely was expecting to have a NWS photo without a NWS in the title.

what a fucking letdown

:smiley:

Not to shabby,

Its always better if there is more clouds, etc in the sky though

damn it

Here’s one from tonight that I got of the big dipper.

Still blurry, do I need to reduce shutter time?

That picture is MUCH better than the first … I like how it caught some light off of the fence/tree. How long was this exposure?

I had no idea they made tripods for cameraphones.

All shots taken from a Panasonic Lumix LZ5. It unfortunately doesn’t have a tremendous range of features, but it has some “canned” modes. One is called “Starry Sky”. That’s what I’m trying to use.

I think I may need some better equipment for this.

I’m assuming you’re resizing the pictures before posting them? Let’s see some high-res shots.

I will do that later tonight.

Nice pics Justin, although the lack of boobies is discomforting…otherwise carry on…

Here’s the untouched pic.

Look good. See if you can get a lower ISO setting without losing any visibility. It’ll sharpen the image up a bunch.
