That is sweet. That is so loving sweet. I am now trying to work out how to do that with a panorama.

Edit: I don't know what a perseid meteor shower looks like, so I can't quite work out a couple things. Can you tell me the ISO and F/stop and camera used for your pictures, Leviathor? If you don't mind!

Edit 2: This is the greatest thing I've ever done. I'm going to be on tenderhooks until I can print it out. I'm going to go buy an A1 portfolio solely because of this diptych.



Everytime I see your images I think: that guy would go nuts with a Gigapan.

I love night time photography but I'm only just starting out. All shot with Sony A550.







The following was shot at 1600 ISO.


The following was shot out of a plane during a storm, again with a 1600 ISO.


The following three were shot by 'painting' the subject with a torch.








Any comments/critiques would be appreciated. Also the A550 handles high ISO shooting amazingly.

Sorry, I'm feeling a little too hungover delicate to leave anything much helpful, but these are great (especially for just starting out), keep up the good work.

I need to experiment with how to secure my tripod better in a moving car.

I saw a sweet picture somewhere of a guy who secured a tripod on the top of his car and did a long exposure while driving through a city. He also had a single flash inside the car so you could see the cab through the sun roof.

This is a great idea. I can't wait to see how it will look with a secure tripod. Once you figure it out, you must share. I would love to play around with something like this.

If your car's headrests are easily removable, get a 4 foot piece of flat bar stock steel and drill it to slip over the headrest posts, hold it to the bottom in place with rod clamps. Drill a 3/8" hole in the middle, put a 3/8" bolt through it and really crank it down, mount your camera to that with a wing nut to secure it. You now have a car mount photo/video rig for under $30.

In regards to the mounting suggestions, does anyone have any drawn up plans? I got a friend who does metal work, and it would be easier just to hand him some plans or a crude drawing.

What you guys want is a Bogen Super Clamp + Magic Arm. They're commonly used for this type of shot: Samples on Flickr
