The current state of things
Well unfortunately I have found that when I got back home my main box has died or at least something has died and now I'm relegated to using my little Lenovo X100e (which I will post a review of as soon as I finish).
So far it looks like the RAM in my main box isn't the issue and the video cards are fine so it's now down to motherboard and CPU who are the main suspects.
Below is what my work space looks like now.
First Startrails Attempt
It was a clear night last night so I went out and setup my camera to time-lapse and also create a startrails photo.
This was what I ended up with:
The photo itself is made up of 30 second stacks shot with the built in interval timer on the K-7 over a period of about three hours, final stack and post was done in Photoshop.
I also put together a timelapse video but was a bit disappointing as I noticed condensation happening halfway through the shots, I'll post it up anyway as it looks pretty cool but lesson learnt: use hand warmer packs to keep the lens from fogging up.

Enjoy!
Tuggers Timelapse
Lardman and I decided to go out to a hill behind his place to see if we could get some nice star trails unfortunately that wasn't to be since it decided to be overcast.
So instead we ended up shooting timelapses. Lessons learnt from our first time shooting for an extended time at night: bring entertainment, blankets, hot food and drink.
This was the short timelapse I ended up with.
Sanya V. Litvyak 1/8 PVC figure by Alter
I finally managed to pick this here figurine up from my friend's home and I gotta say she's a doozy from the folks at Alter.
Sunday Drive
Photo while driving on the Parks Way
Went out for a morning drive yesterday in hopes of being able to get some neat photos of mist floating around Scrivener Dam early in the morning but ended up with a sunrise.
What I was greeted with when I got to Scrivener Dam.
Panorama was stitched in Photoshop, and photos taken with my Sigma 10-20mm.
Big version is on my deviantArt here.
Enjoy!
