Karen, your flower pictures are incredible. I tried to take some yesterday, but it was really windy. These were the best I could come up with:

Well if we are going to go off topic....

All shot yesterday with the D-70/18-70 kit.

 

[Zephrant]

This one is with the D-70 attached to a Meade 60mm (F/350) telescope. There were high clouds that night, so it is not very crisp.

 

[NaH2O]

WOAH! Awesome shots!!

Wow. I love this thread. Great pics everyone!

Hey Dylan tell us how you got the fireworks shot. Was it one explosion or multiple shots from the camera?

Thanks for the nice comments Nikki. Your flowers are great what is that first one? It looks like some kind of a sunflower.

Zephrant-way cool.

Hey Dylan tell us how you got the fireworks shot. Was it one explosion or multiple shots from the camera?

Neither. =)

All the fireworks pictures I took were between 2-8 second exposures, so it was a single shot, with usually 3-8 explosions in each shot. The only problem with doing this is that you need to have the aperature stopped down as far as possible since the fireworks are so bright, and the long exposure makes them brighter.

The smallest aperature I have is f/11 on my camera, so I also had a neutral density filter on the lens to keep it from being too bright. (ND filters just reduce the amount of light coming into the lens evenly across all colors to allow for longer exposures without overexposing when you can't stop down any further)
