These aren't the best...not sure why they turned out so blurry. A little windy, and long exposure (2 minute) probably to blame. Taken around midnight on 11/16/09, Sigma 18mm-50mm @18mm f4.5 (I think).
I would like to learn how pictures like these are taken..guessing a MUCH more expensive lens + talent on loan from God
(PICTURE ABOVE IS NOT MINE)
How do you take a picture where the rotation of the Earth does not "string" the star light out, but yet have the star (and sky) bright enough to be clearly exposed?
well, I would think a larger lens would be the most common way, as a larger lens would allow you shorter exposure time and still a lot of light capture
unless you want to invest in a motorized setup to compensate for the earths rotation
Shot from my friend Andrew. If you look, he is using a 18-55 lens @ 18mm. That is a $150 really cheap lens. Also shooting on a rebal body...so not a pro body by any means.

I dont see how focal length has anything to do with allowing you to have a shorter exposure. Could you explain this?
Getting the right shot is going to be all about your ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Id recommend a wider lens myself so you shooting at 18 is just fine! Just play with your shutter speed, ISO, and aperture some more Tyler.
