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. Paul Allen |

One of these days I've got to set up a Web site so I can share some of the stuff I do. Paul Allen -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

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? Paul Allen |

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. -dms |

Another thought: Some of the online printing services allow you to put up photos for sharing on the web. I've been using shutterfly.com to do my printing recently, and they have this feature. Just for giggles, I gave it a shot: http://dmsilev.shutterfly.com/ There's one photo in the album right now, which was in part an experiment to see if I could get a reasonable 16x20 print out of an FZ5 (answer: yes, barely, and only after some post-processing). -dms |
