Yes, the settings are different in that you are using a very narrow aperture (tight).If you have it, try setting camera to "Aperture priority mode" and the camera will pick the remaining settings. It will give you an idea of where to start. I have to use a tripod because some of the exposures are long (like maybe 1 sec instead of a fraction of a second) I use either a remote trigger or set the camera on a timer to make sure I don't shake the camera. It's better, I find, to underexpose the shot and then bring it up if need be when I edit. You'll get it!

I've taken a little time here and there to experiment. I'm not keen on the pictures themselves with the starbursts but I got some.
I'll have to try the auto Aperture mode as well. I am learning AND because of the this Challenge, I'll be looking at things a bit differently and thinking of possibilities that I wouldn't have otherwise.
