I have gone through all your tutorial. Thank you very much..simply explained everything that you need to know about 450D. Just need your professional opinion about the lens. I am thinking to change my standard 18-55mm lens. I have two options 28-105mm or 18-135mm, which one would you recommend if you have to choose between these two opt. Plss help.Cheers.

Clearly I meant to say, "If it's too bright, [increase] the shutter speed to 5sec."

How do you take pictures of stars (without a telescope!)?

@mandscat Hi, it really depends what kind of picture you're looking for. If you want star tracks, you'll need a super long shutter speed like 10 or 15 min, something this camera can't do. You could also take a few shorter 30" exposures and piece them together in Photoshop, though 30" is probably not long enough. I can't post a link here, but check out russell brown's site for tips on how to stitch the images together. I hope this helps.

@lbguides actually you can use longer shutter speed than 30" in bulb mode. I recommend a remote switch for it.

@spythe90 Hi, thanks for the correction. I completely forgot about using the Manual mode to increase the shutter speed to bulb. Have you had much experience with that? From what I understand the image can get very noisy and Canon recommends turning on the Noise Reduction, which can soften the focus. Though, you're right, it can be done. I'm not sure I would use a digital camera for 10 or 15 min star tracking shots. Either way a remote switch is a good investment.

Holding black card in from of the lens allows you to take this image without spending time playing with mirror lock. hold it in front of the lens until you have pushed the button to take the photo. :)
useful video, cheers :D
