The C700 can't take pictures of the night sky, but the FZ30
has a "starry sky" mode. I wonder if anybody's tried that out.
Dunno about the FZ30 but it works pretty well on the FZ7. On full zoom
it even shows star trails.
Cool! Do you have any examples to share? With my C700, a short
exposure doesn't register stars and a longer one gets swamped by
noise. I've taken a lot more pictures with this camera than I
ever did in 25 years with my old OM-2n, but it does have rather
severe limits.

One of these days I've got to set up a Web site so I can share some of the
stuff I do.

Many ISP's give customers a bit of space on a web server. It's
trivial to ftp a file up to the server and mail somebody a link.
(Well, it's a lot easier than setting up a whole web site.)

But, aren't there a bunch of free image sharing sites? Can
anyone who has used one point John at a good one?

photobucket.com and imageshack.us are both easy to use if you just want
to stick something up on the web. Photobucket is more organized; you
register for an account, and can upload stuff to different albums and
the like.

Both are free.
