I hope you meant whip it out.
Although the judge tells me I'm not allowed to whip anything out in public any more.

People always talk about a TR BBQ get together..... as much as I love chatting with some of the guys here on TR, the thought of flying to a spot for a 1 day Wing-Ding is sort of pushing the envelope of my capabilities.... BUT..... My question is why don't we have a get together for something photography related? It would make for a great photo-workshop weekend... We can throw BBQ and beer in on the side too . Would anyone be down for something like that?

A bit risky since you have to actually flash the firmware, unfortunately.

Yessir:
Step 1: Drive far away.
Step 2: Long exposure, but not so long as to make the stars come off as trails (which can readily be seen at about 10 or 15 seconds or so).
Step 3: Minor adjustment to tone curves, to make the dark parts really dark.
Step 1 is the most important; it also helped that there was no moon the night before last. I just put myself in the right conditions at the right time, which in this case required a three hour drive and an overnight camp. Pretty much anybody else that's been posting in this thread would've snapped off awesome pictures out there.

I’ve been rather busy of late but today I got around to buying the 35mm f1.8 I’ve been eyeing. So on getting home I was using it to practise some lighting shots.
I took this one using the aperture priority mode and the tripod. Now I just need to get out and use it in some more interesting places...

Also, there's an evil orange eye glowering at me from under the desk

Focus-recompose can lead to FP shifts, especially at closer distances. Best done with a little DOF 'safety net' by stopping down an aperture or two.
Another thing you might want to check is whether your lens is back-focusing or not. You can test this on a tripod and taking identical shots with PDAF and CDAF (live view). If the PDAF shots end up being out of focus, you might want to get your lens calibrated - some Canons can do in-body corrections for microfocus adjustment, dunno about Nikons.

Here comes a bunch of shots showing the two different types of photography I've been doing lately. First, an engagement session for a couple who's wedding will be this September, followed by some architectural photography. My full time profession is an Architect in training, and the building happens to be my first building (and furniture) design as a lead designer, which I'm extremely excited to see it finished! Of all the photography that I'm doing, I'm finding that the hardest for me is architectural photography...but I'm learning something every time.
