Well, if I was down south, where it is dark, I would recommend this: Fast, Wide, Elite Chrome 200, maybe pushed to 400.
i.e., 28mm f/2, or 24mm f/2, or 24mm f/1.4 Vary the exposure from 10 to 60 seconds, in steps of 10 seconds And REMOVE ANY FILTERS! Obviously tripod and cable release... You might try a fisheye wide open (f/2.8 ?) also. Untill darkness comes back up here, I can only envy you ... Michel Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
