Was the last one a small aperture or starfilter?

The pictures are beautiful. I like taking pictures in sundance square.

---------------------------
Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

Very nice, Jerry, and inspiring.

Ever since last Fall, I've had a project on the back burner to get down to my favorite downtown after dark with my tripod and take pictures. Now, I'm gonna do it.

Sony DCS-F717 on a tripod.

F4 is the sweet spot in this Zeiss lens, so that's what I like to use at night.

the "star flare" is from F4 aperture in the 3rd shot, I had a Star-4 filter on it the 4th shot. Usually the star filter over powers the image, and I rejected a couple because of that. I like my Star-6 filter much better, but I couldn't find it, tho it was right there in my filter wallet. DOH!

The flash didn't fire because I had the camera set to external flash, but didn't have the flash on the hot shoe. The camera tried, and reported it in the exif.

thanks for the nice comments guys.

Jon, IMHO,

they screw up more shots than they make, but I love giving them a try.

When they work, they work.

I have noticed that the fewer "points" they make the longer the "rays" and the less control you have. The more "points" = shorter "rays". Distance to the subject (or the bright points of light) makes a great deal of difference. Also, it seems, the strength of the points of light.

Here's one of my rejects.



Get one, they are not expensive (well at least in my 58mm size).

These are really nice Jerry. I'm currently on a night photography kick so I love looking at good examples. I especially like #1 and #3.

These are just wonderful, Jerry. I really need to get down there with my tripod. Last time, I shot hand-held and high ISO.
