After all, when a new camera is released some of the biggest praise (and criticism) revolves around the focusing system—speed, accuracy, and quality are all extremely important. In this eBook, Nicole Young covers topics such as aperture, depth of field, and lens […]

Professional outdoor, adventure, travel and active lifestyle photographer Dan Bailey just let us know he is having a sale this month on his three training eBooks. I took a look at these books today, and while they contain great imagery; the information is pretty basic in nature.

Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit says, “My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure.”
Yesterday, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun, collected images of the rarest predictable solar event–the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. This event happens in pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121 years. It will not happen again during our lifetime.
