How would I setup my camera to take one of those pictures you see of the stars streaking across the sky? 1) I know you have to mount the camera to a tripod(duh.) 2) I know you slow the shutter speed down to like 30 minutes or something to that effect... but what I dont know is can I create this shot in my backyard with city lights all around. I dont want to have to go out into the country to take a clear shot. any suggestions? md
If you want the sharpest picture possible you definately need to get away from the light pollution. Definately should have a calm evening.
