Best of a very small pool today unfortunately. It was raining today and I just don't know how sensitive my DSLR is to such things. Anyone know how much water exposure is "safe"?
My first attempt at shooting with the bulb. This was a 60 second exposure -- those faint lights in the background you see are Africa which was not visible to the naked eye on this night.

Black holes, unlike their common image, do not act as "cosmic vacuum cleaners" any more than other stars. The collapse of a star into a black hole is an explosive process, which means, according to Mass–energy equivalence, that the resulting black hole would be of lower mass than its parent object, and actually have a weaker gravitational pull. The source of the confusion comes from the fact that a black hole exists in a space much smaller but orders of magnitude more dense than a star, causing its gravitational pull to be much stronger closer to its surface. But, as an example, were the Sun to be replaced by a black hole of the same mass, the orbits of all the planets surrounding it would be unaffected.
