Most of these pics were taken with the Tokina ATX 80-400 zoom. All pictures were taken with the camera on a tripod, mirror lockup enabled, and self-timer mode (with mirror lockup enabled the self-timer runs 2 seconds in order to allow you to move away from the camera). This was on a rainy night and there was some mist, which is why the air and water looks over-exposed. This can be fixed fairly easily with a constrast adjustment in post processing but I didn't do so in order to allow you to play with it yourself.

If you push into the thumbnails you will get the full-sized shot. All pictures were taken at ISO 100. Generally speaking you should always take long static exposures at ISO 100 or ISO 200 because the camera does an unbelievable job getting rid of the noise verses shorter exposures at higher ISOs. Note that extremely low noise on all of the long exposures! This is JPG output direct from the camera.

The tree shot was taken as a noise-check. Note that F-stop was set up to 9.5. I don't have a remote timer so the max the camera will do without me having to jiggle the shutter release in Bulb mode is 30 seconds.
