Dang it. I'm 34 and can't take a photo that nice. I'm done. :P

I wish I had been able to get my hands a D50 at 8..or 18 even! Really great shot and good for you Carl to have found something that you and your son can share like photography.

I guess he is ready for his own D50.

If you are shooting in the dark, you need that kind of exposure time or longer. I think one of Carl's pictures had a 4 minute exposure time (and looked wonderful). I experimented a bit the other day and had fun; I was also reminded how even a minute long exposure is enough that the stars become short lines instead of dots.

If its a cloudy day then the movement of clouds will give a very surreal feel to the scene. On the side, does your kid understand these things? Did you teach him all the concepts and he decided that he needed 2+ mins of exposure at f8 with ISO200?

I know that, but when's the last time you saw an 8-year old with that kind of patience
