I've never been able to get a sun/lamp star :( what was you aperture? I'm guessing it was at least a 30-second shot. I'm going to the outer banks in July for a family reunion...beachfront house, elevator, 6 bedrooms, 3 stories (I think). Can hardly wait.
The star effect is a pleasant result of the lens. I used the 35-70 f/2.8 D stopped down to f22 at iso 200 with a 13 sec exposure. I did a few shots at different exposure times and picked the best. I did post process in LR, but this did not produce the stars. Hoping to invest in some ND filters to produce more long shots like this.
