As a father who has just bought his daughter a Nikon something for a decent wad of cash, I am loving these shots.

Would it be to hard for you experts to put down a few settings for the trickier manual type shots?

Cheers if you can and only a single cheer if you can't.

Trial and error is the best way imo, take a photo on "auto" mode and note the shutter speed and aperature numbers, switch the camera to "manual" mode and using those numbers as a starting point, manipulate shutter speed, aperature, iso, white balance by small increments, take the same photo repeatedly with different settings each time, it will help her understand her camera' potential and develop her photographic eye

Yeh good advice, you learn quickly what settings will do under varying conditions.
Writing the shot settings down is handy.

Just took possession of my new pride and joy.

First couple of attempts at star trail photography. First image is a stack which I had to abort due to clouds and the second one is a 32 minute exposure. Will try to have another go soon and do a better job.

Another attempt at star trails. 201 exposures at 30 seconds. Had to delete 2 frames because a plane flew through.

The best thing about those images Mr C, is that they make me realise how insignificant I really am.

The universe rocks.

Just spent an evening shivering down at the local conservation park creating this image. It's not perfect so I'll have another go eventually but I like the framing.

That was me. The person who posted it that is, not the crazy Russian.

This just freaks me out...
