Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Just an idea related to this idea

If possable could we get the person who took the winning shot to post there setup and what/ how they took the shot
ie camera settings, tripod etc etc

maybe a PM to inform the person that their photo has been picked and then they can post their setup

I know myself I see alot of photos here but have always wanted to know how and what settings where used to take the photo

Thats the thing
Whats easy for you (as you have the knowledge) is hard for others who may not know what to do (or what to google)

It would obviously be up to the individual to post a "How I did That" response and not obligatory on them but I'm already sending the courtesy pm, so I'll include a line about having the option of "How I Did That" response.

In the case of this particular type of shot Inibaz has contributed to this thread on the subject recently.

You can see all the information about the shot if you click on it, it will take you to pix.ie and if you click on additional information on the left hand side it tells you everything, focal lengh, camera, software etc.

Thanks everyone Sorry for the late reply,I only got a chance to login now.

As Crispin says the EXIF data is on pix.ie,no processing was done except for some contrast and a crop.

Camera Model Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
Exposure 30 sec
F-Number f8
Focal Length 20 mm
Exposure Bias 0
ISO Speed ISO-200

These kind of shots are really very easy to take,you just have to be in the right place at the right time.The important thing is to experiment with the aperture and the shutter speed so the light pollution is at a minimum.Unfortunately I rushed my shots a bit and just kept firing off 30 second exposures without any thought of light pollution!

Sorry for going wildly OT but the comment about being in the right place at the right time brought this to mind, might be interesting to some.

Great shot BTW, it's just kickstarted my wanderlust again..........
