Shooting Symi Stars

Symi - Day 21

Please try large

I'm obviously not talking about Micheal Douglas, Naomi Cambel or even Mel Gibbson (all of whom have been to Symi) and could well deserve shooting. No, I'm on about shooting the incredible Mediterranean night sky. It requires an entirely different approach to my usual night shots of Copenhagen where low ISO, high f/stop and 30 second exposures are the way. Here I bumped up the ISO, opened the lens right up and 6 seconds max' - bingo. ......and yes, I'm a bit pleased how this came out.

Taken after a very heavy down pour last night, from our terrace with the camera balanced on a packet of fags.
