Haha yeah well I guess typing with one hand isnt my strength!

Cant change that now..

I would like more info about exposing to the right, I understand what you mean (I think!) but it's not that clear. Also a couple of shots to show the effects that different filters have would be good.

The part about magic lantern could do with a bit more explanation as to what it is and why it's better.

I'd also include a couple of shots of your gear. Not sure what an L bracket is or why it's better. I like articles that allow me to go shopping afterwards!

Good stuff though.

[RobDickinson]

Cheers, good points!

Good to see some info released about how you edit your shots. I think most people shy away from this as if they're going to give away some sort of massive secret, so it's refreshing to see someone explain what they do.

Is bad to say I didn't read it and just looked at the pretty pictures Makes me want to visit NZ even more now!

Do you want to be informed of typos and the like?

[RobDickinson]

Yep, not that I care but some people get a bit uperty about it.
Its already been proofed but quickly.

Will be rewriting a few bits and rejiging it with a bit more structure too.

OK. In that case, in the first sentence below Rakaia Gorge, you currently have the sun appearing as a singe (rather than single) point of light.

Added to my booked marked pages are you planning on doing more?

[RobDickinson]

OK guide (and website) has been updated and expanded. More info on gear and capturing etc.

Completely unrelated but the background image constantly changing is really quite distracting. I can't quite ignore that right now, will have another bash at reading the article later.

Rob, was it you that put some star trail images up on another thread?

If it was, can I ask how you managed to, in a further image, have the lower star trails "bend" the other way. Please.

As soon as I figure out whats doing that I'll stop it! Managed to stop the slideshow on the front page but not behind articles! grrrr.

Stars rotate around circumpolar points, pick something framed around the 'equator' and they curve away. So west/eastish should do.

I thought it said particle. So I came in here looking for how to take photos of particles! (actually useful to me at this moment in time!)

[RobDickinson]
