Hi All, finally got out last night to give it a try. Realised North Wales is not as dark as first thought!!! Any comments on image capture and suggestions for post processing would be gratefully...
Cheers everyone, I have just got myself a set of 3 grad ND cokin filter, just need to learn to use them!!!
Hi All
Does anyone know if it is possible in canons DPP to separate the image into sections to edit the lighting differently. I guess you can do this in photoshop and more advanced software - just...

Thanks so much for all the tips. The weather here in England has been so bad recently so not a clear sky in sight. I will be trying all of this when the clouds lift. I find the post...
Just to let people know, I bought the Shooting Stars eBook and have found it really helpful. My 15-85 has just arrived so stay posted for some shots - hopefully if they're not too bad!!!
Hello All
I would like some advice on image processing software please. I currently only use the free processor with canon and have nothing else. I'm not looking at investing £600 in photoshop but...
Thanks David, I've just ordered another memory card (16gb). I'm not experienced at all using a flash that's not the 450d integrated one!
Hi All
An update on the kit list now, please tell me what I am missing!
Canon 450d

15-85mm efs...
For the stacking technique what settings should you be using for each shot to begin with. Sorry very new to this all!!!
A lot of websites go on about post processing of starscapes. Do you usually have to do a lot of this to get decent shots?
Pat
You pictures 2 and 4 are awesome, what settings did you use? Love them
Thanks
Edd
Cheers Eric, that's a great help and will try have a play before I leave. Also need to remember how to spot the northern star!!! I am shooting with a 450d and will have the 15-85mm on it. Is there a...
Hi all
Was looking for some tips on shooting starscapes as I'm off to Peru and will have a great chance to get some good ones. Has anyone any tips -I've searched and can't find that much on it.

Cheers guys, RAW it is then!
Hi All,
Really quick one: should you shoot in RAW only or RAW + L? Just wondered why you need the L?
Thanks
Edd
Hope to be able to do this one day!!!

Happy New Year from the UK
I'm now looking in to bags. I have a rucksack, lowepro one already but not sure how waterproof it is. I really want to take some starscapes so do I have the correct lens choice and does anyone have...
Cheers everyone, decision made!!!
Hey, thanks all for the responses. A bit more about the holiday: we will be visiting some cities but also most of the holiday will be spent trekking in the mountains to Machu Picchu and then about a...
Do you have any tips, tricks or links for a crash course on wide angle shots. The 10-20mm is something I've wanted for a while
Never wider than15mm? Even taking wide shots like landscapes?

Hi All (again)
I'm lucky enough to be off to Peru next year on holiday and am wondering what lenses to take/buy. I have a 450d with the 18-55mm kit lens and a 70-200mm f4 lens. I'm going to buy a...
Hey all,
From the title the question is fairly obvious. From what I have seen the package of the 70-200 is about the same price as the 100-400. The lens is for wildlife and action shots of sport....
