You will be fine. It's probably your house that will burn down while you're away. Have fun!

Spent my Canada Day long weekend with a 4 day trip to the Bruce Peninsula, camping, canoeing and climbing. (More photos to come)

This was taken from the top of a route at Cape Croker which opens up into Georgian Bay, on a Chippewas First Nation reserve.

Starry night under the canopy of trees. It's a cropped image and was taken next to the camp fire, so not the best photo I could have taken.

obsidian :?: Where the pictures taken with an SLR, surely not a smart phone (but I could be surprised) and if an SLR, what was the F stop and shutter speed?

We found a street astronomer by the waterfront in Toronto during Canada Day who was holding a viewing party free to the public. Saw Saturn, Jupiter and 4 of its moons, and our Moon.

Snapped a pic through his telescope

First pic was probably something like F/5.6 1/100. Second pic was 17mm F/2.8 at 25 seconds on a tripod.

Probably because the earth is rotating and 25 seconds is long enough to catch that fact.

Relative faster speed at the Equator and less as you get closer to the poles too.
I just love the science here in Q3W :up:

And a Wiki read for your reading pleasure

Agreed. Both shots look blurry. If you're shooting from a professional rig, there is something wrong.

We're off to Cuba tomorrow. I'll be shooting from my google pixel for reference.

Gwamps should teach a photography course, he could call it "Tacky and ugly phone pics of tacky and ugly things + cheap HDR filter 101".

Na, should show small lines as the view rotates. Seems to have moved slightly on the pod which does happen.

Not dissing it, it's not easy to get nice starfield shots especially when planked is trying to use focus fields for objects millions of light years away :olo:

Pretty sure it's just the rotation of the earth. 25 seconds is the max exposure minimizing trails using this focal length, though it still shows up. 20 seconds ends up being a little too underexposed. I also set the camera on a 2 second delay to ensure it's not my hand leaving the shutter release moving the camera.

Again, not having a go just saying it's not sharp.

On my slr there's a mode to turn off the mirror and stop it flipping and only use the focal plain shutter. Helps reduce vibration, could be worth setting as a short cut? And keep the ISO at its lowest if you're not bothered about rotation.

Not a fan of beaches. Once you've seen five they've all the same.

Edit: but in keeping with the topic - I've just renewed my passport for the low low price of £80 and applied for my two lads first passport for the low low low price of £115.

Thought my flying with work days were over (hoped) but I'm off to visit Canon in Holland next week. Hopefully I'll be able to get my 24-104mm fixed...

Where? I know they have an office in Nootdorp (close to The Hague) which is like a 15 minute bicycle ride from where I live.

I knew he couldn't handle that RV :olo:

Probably burned his brakes coming down the great divide. Ended up in a runaway truck ramp...
