Star light


This last summer, I spent some time at Rolley Lake and went to the picnic area at 10:00 at night.  One of the families we went with had not had opportunity to lay on their backs and just enjoy the view.  

Setting the camera to a ASA of night mode (more than 3200 ASA) and a shot of about 1/2 second allowed capture of the stars without lens shake.  In full view is the Big Dipper.

Another solution is to use a tripod and manual shutter release of several seconds; however, a minimal shake creates a blur.
