pretty cool Chris.... Would make an awesome desktop background.

Here is a link to a larger version that should make nice background for most size computers screens.

pretty cool picture what camera did you use and did you photoshop that at all?

[Chris Geiger]

It is a series of photo I took during the show. I imported the photos to photoshop and put each of the frames together in to one image. I was shooting with my Nikon D200 w/ 18-200 ED VR stabilized lens, sitting on a Bogan tripod for long exposure stability.

with that long exposure, can you paint images with lights if you wanted to. like keep the shutter open? i've known a few XLR that can do that and it's pretty trick stuff.

[Chris Geiger]

Yes, I can tell the camera to open up the shutter as long as I want. In a dark room with a LED light, you can open the shutter, and "draw" on the image. Lot of fun.

:psss: Chris time for a new D3? ( only $5k :eek2: ) Finally got myself a D80, good enough for what I need.

[Chris Geiger]

I wish I could afford the D3, just too much $$$

I did pick up a D300 and a new 17-55 2.8 lens. The D300 shoots nice all the way down to 1600 iso.
