what kind of camera do you have for those amazing night shots? I have a fuji hybrid digital with 24x optical zoom. I have a night time setting but only see darkness, any recommendations for settings for those kind of exposures?

For night shots you need a rig that will allow long exposure times - 30 seconds or greater - using a wide aperture lens and tripod. Lightroom or Photoshop are often used to bring out the detail.

Just to clarify, BendLocal is not the one taking the night photos that he has been posting. The photographers that are shooting are linked.

Yes, exactly. You need a camera that will allow you more than just auto settings. Full manual control will give you the greatest. And to be fair, it's not the camera that's doing the work, but the photographer that is choosing the correct settings and composition, that makes the most powerful images.

I was wondering about copyrights. Great picture, but Facebook Photo's are not Public Domain.

If you look at Jason Brownlee Photography Facebook page he says in the description. " Feel free to share"

Interpret "share" as you like.

Didn't say it wasn't shareable. I said I wondered. I also said Facebook Photo's are not legal to share without explicit permission. Many of the cartoons posted there are copyright violations to start with. In this case it seems permission was given.

Some here don't understand marketing with social media. The small highly compressed web images are used to generate interest in a photographer - specifically their services and the prints they sell - so the extra exposure on forums increases the chance of recognition and sales. That's the reason most photographers create a FB page to begin with! BTW my brother is a professional artist and photographer so I'm all for helping the talented guys make a living - especially in a place like Bend where making it on your own is a serious challenge!

Where did you get that idea? Perhaps you are confusing hot linking with copying and pasting as people do with email? This article may help you gain a better understanding of hotlinking images.

Inline linking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Copyright law issues that inline linking raises

The most significant legal fact about inline linking, relative to copyright law considerations, is that the inline linker does not place a copy of the image file on its own Internet server. Rather, the inline linker places a pointer on its Internet server that points to the server on which the proprietor of the image has placed the image file. This pointer causes a user's browser to jump to the proprietor's server and fetch the image file to the user's computer. US courts have considered this a decisive fact in copyright analysis. Thus, in Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc.,[6] the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit explained why inline linking did not violate US copyright law...

Delta is correct - those night images were taken by the photogher stated in each post. But I'll put some of mine up later just for kicks. Night photography is tricky and getting a truly great picture is hit or miss for me.

You'd probably need something like this for tracking the sky; iOptron

A lot of the time with these types of photo, the photographer will take the landscape photo on long exposure with a static camera and then the sky with a moving mount, then layer them together in Photoshop.
