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
gorgeous photo as usual. why you going offline for a month?
Moving to France ;)
Thanks for the compliments ;)
If you're brave, you can hit up http://www.ninjito.com/dump/ - go through the dated folders.
As a word of warning, there's a lot of shit dumped in this directory ;)
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...
Ah, I made the wrong assumption that it was shot on the 1Ds... was curious whether that sensor was any better on long exposure shots. My Mark II shows white speckles everywhere without dark frame subtraction enabled (which is as annoying as hell when you've just had the shutter open for 45 mins...)

Yeah, the *ds's have a habit of getting hot pixels w/o the noise reduction turned on. I used to always shoot with it on, but likeyou say, got bored waiting for 20 minutes just to see a photo. I did make me patient though ;)

I miss my little 300D, it had nice clean long exposures with no dark frame subtraction needed, so long as you exposed correctly (just like any shot). 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.
I was really expecting you to be saying that some guys in black suits turned up at your door with security video showing you entering some facility and that you got 30 days in the slammer
Glad I was wrong and hope everything works out for you in France

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
