我不知道这个照片怎么拍。 可能在帐篷里面有很微弱的灯光,还有很慢的快门速度, 所以帐篷看起来很明亮,也可能看见星星。

Of course, I may be talking complete rubbish (both in Chinese and in terms of photography). Where is Calkins, he can tell us how it was done!

Sebire, thanks for the confidence!  I don't think you're far off in your assessment.  Here's my guess on how this photo was shot:

- High ISO (maybe 1250 or higher)

- Fairly wide aperture (maybe f5 or f5.6)

- Shutter speed around 30 seconds...at a much longer shutter speed, the stars would "streak".  A tripod was used, which goes without saying.

- Lighting of the tent...my guess is that a soft light was used, possibly diffused to spread the light out nicely throughout the entire tent.

- There are a lot of stars.  Some may have been digitally added, but it doesn't really look like they were.

Really great shot!

Would the stars really streak after more than 30 seconds? I didn't realise the Earth moved so fast.

You've probably already seen this, but when trying to find a word for "shutter speed", I stumbled across this:

How fast does the Earth move? Hmm... that question made me wonder sebire! So I went a-googling and found this impressive answer relating to the Earth's spin.

Then there's the Earth's movement as it goes around the sun isn't there? Well that's covered here, with an additional snippet concerning the sun's movement around the center of the Milky way galaxy.

I'm no pro when it comes to taking photos, but I understand that stars are hard to take pictures of. People who believe that men never went to the moon for example, often say that the pictures taken by Apollo astronauts must be fakes because you never see any stars in the black sky. Nonsense of course.

Hi sebire and raygo

The length of star streaks depend on both shutter speed and the focal length of a camera lense. The longer shutter speed/focal leanth are, the longer star streaks are.

真有意思。If one could travel at "warp speed", I guess they'd be even longer! lol

Rough calculation - at the equator, approx 0.5 m/s. More maths required to work out streakage. Hmm. I shouldn't start thinking about these things.
