With 3 or 4 seconds you might have salvaged a bit more detail in the Swiss
campers, themselves, but I think you'd lose the lovely light on the trees.
(Unless, of course, your wizard enough to blend 3 shots. I'm certainly not.)
However you did it, it's a bloody fine image.

On a tripod, camera did not move. Just blended the exposure. At 30
seconds, the fire was just too much. I tried to bring out some detail on
the 30s one, but looked pretty bad. I was able to work much better with the
8 second shot. Should probably have shot at 4 or 3 seconds too. Live and
learn.

Now, Aram... when you say a separate shot, were the two shot from a tripod,
without moving it between shots? Just the exposures blended, as it were.
Or was the sky a completely different shot, blended into the black sky of
the fire & people shot?
Curious minds want to know!

Hi Aram!
Nice shots of the VLA. But the winner is the star shot with your
Swiss campers. Beautifully done!
Without knowing the focal length, it is impossible to guess the
shutter speed based on the length of the start-trails (very short but
each arm being 13 miles.
So, I'll ask. What focal length were you using?
Tnx.
David.
Just outside Socorro, New Mexico, is the Very Large Array. We werethat they were in the D configuration. That means the 27
lucky
radiotelescopes were bunched close together around the visitors
center. This is when they are looking for lower resolution overall
structure images. The A configuration is when they are spread out with
You would get to see very few of them close enough to the visitors
center to photograph.
