Second night with Ken's Canon Rebel XTi, it's long exposure party, baby!

And this time, virtually noise-free. Note to self: wipe those fingerprints.

I'll post a pic of the setup, but it's pretty much low aperture (as low as I could, f3.5), small focal (28mm x 1.6), long exposure (15 to 20 seconds), a tripod and a flashlight. And no flash of course.

The sharpness definitely beats what I get out of my small Powershot.

I'll let you legitimately wonder why I have so many glass knick-knacks.

I broke its legs during the shoot. Do'h!

The one on the left is solid glass. In case you need to bludgeon me!

I was probably a little too aggressive on the DoF, but it still doesn't get old :)

I think it's an apple. I want it to be an apple.

Seriously, the bead is in focus, but not the ball?! Small small DoF here.

Shooting RAW does make quite a difference in flexibility, I like that.

Palm dates. I would have got closer, but didn't want to walk on the grass.

the first 100 I pressed read www.vandbp.co.ku

(well, they very nearly did)

Round the back.

Imagine my excitement. This beats sparrows any day.
