As I said before, this was a wonderful learning experience. Mostly, I learned a number of things that don’t work as well as I would like.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II + 15-30mm, 6″ @ f/8
This is a test image, shot at ISO 3200. I like it better than the long exposure because you can see the stars as I saw them. Orion’s belt is right there.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II + 15-30mm, 240″ @ f/8
This is the island superintendent’s quarters. Here, it’s a long exposure and the stars have turned into lines. I used a pretty wide lens and corrected the perspective in PS.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II + 15-30mm, 360″ @ f/11
Another shot with perspective correction.
