    What settings did you use for this shot?? I've been trying to get some shots of the stars before but its proving difficult to get a clear image like this.

    Hey Mike,

    2 things that made a shot like this come out well. That fact that it was one of the darkest places in South Dakota with no town lights for miles. Then the fact my camera works well at high ISO speed which is key to pick up faint lights at distances.

    All exif data can be viewed in the flickr links by goin to the image and clicking " Actions - View Exif Data"

    Heres the one for this shot.

    Exif data

    Camera Nikon D7000
    Exposure 30
    Aperture f/4.2
    Focal Length 11.5 mm
    ISO Speed 3200


    We were all practically drooling when we saw cars coming around the road and lighting up the surroundings! :)
