Nikon D50 i love it... the first and 3rd one is a 30 second exposure. the 2nd one i a couple minute one, having a remote make such a difference

I want an SLR camera so bad... but here's what I've got from a few nights ago. All the shots are taken at about 2am, with an exceptionally bright moon out. I'm going to go poke around and see if I can find some more... Yet more pushing the old S70 to it's limits

Here are some older shots-

Tucson Night with a storm overhead


San Clemente, CA, Dock with waves. I find it really interesting that the waves a blur into a mist.




Now here are some really interesting pictures. That year there was a red tide at San Clemente, so at night each time the waves crashed they would flash blue like a fluorescent light from the bioluminescent stuff in the water (algae, plankton, I dunno). The pictures are really noisy, but I'm glad I could actually capture a few of the waves...

Wow...you guys are some great photographers....ever sold any of your pics? I bet people would buy!

Haven't got many up on the web, but here's a 2 hr exposure with my D70.

*note, digital SLR's are NOT good at these long exposures.

I really need an SLR badly, because I have definitely outgrown the point-and-shooter. Still, the one(s) I want are so I expensive I am forced to live by the mantra "it isn't the camera, it's the photographer." I've run into some real limitations with the S70; don't get me wrong, it's a great camera and has served me well, but the ISO settings (ISO 400 max, and it's grainy as hell at that setting; similar to a modern DSLR at ISO 1600 or maybe higher) and maximum exposure time of 15 seconds have really limited my low-light works.

I'm really excited to see what I can do with a Canon 5D and an image stabilized lens... must find $3000 and a deal on Ebay Or I wouldn't say no to a 1Ds Mark II either, but it's a big bastard (that's ok, I'm a big bastard too ).

As for selling pics, I've considered it, but I don't think I have the necessary equipment yet. Still, I DO plan on framing some of my better work and using it as "art" around the house...
