    Last Quantum-X photo thread for a while..

    I'm going to be offline for a month or so. Thought I'd make my exit in style.

        Brisbane, Australia.

        I've got it up to about 3000x5000, but it gets a bit noisy at that size.. how big were you chasing?

            Not HDR'd or photoshopped in any way - direct scan off the chrome

            18 minutes, F11 @ 35MM on the X-Pan 2

            HDRs have their place, but I find the results are much more satisfying if you can do it 'the old way'

                  Lots of hard work to get that balance where the photo still stands on its own without looking fake.. good work on the practice :D

                              Very pretty.

                              I feel slightly scared that I knew it was Brisbane, without ever going there, or having checked your profile. Good mate of mine is from Narrabundah.

                              Thanks for the great pic; I only wish I could size it for my crappy 1280x800 LCD without my screen being mostly black!

                                Fabulous shot there, Quantum.

                                But one question.

                                With an 18-min exposure, wouldn't the stars cause streaks? How'd you avoid that?

                                      Hey mate Good to see you drop by ;)
                                      That night was actually overcast - thought the sky wasn't going to turn out..
                                      The clouds were low enough to mute the stars, but not enough to cast too much of a great hue

                                      Lucky timing i guyess

                                            I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                q-x, do you do any noise reduction on your long exposure night shots? (Either in-camera dark frame, or NR algo in post)

                                                    I think you're seeing dust and scratches there ;) I was kinda lazy with the scan.

                                                    I don't use any noise reduction normally. I mainly shoot on ISO50 for pano shots, or ISO200 on digital, so I've never had any major noise issues...

Even pushed +1 you can barely see any unwanted hot pixels. It was disappointing when I got a much higher end camera (after the 300D was stolen) only to find that night shots would now take twice as long.

Even pushed +1 you can barely see any unwanted hot pixels. It was disappointing when I got a much higher end camera (after the 300D was stolen) only to find that night shots would now take twice as long.

                                                                              It's a bummer - the 300/350/400D have the new image processors - the colours are much nicer, there's less noise too.

                                                                              Try taking a shot on the 1Ds of vibrant red - the sensor goes nuts, it can't handle it... you get a blown out off orange
