I'd also like to add since your shooting a canon your white balance will be toward the hot end when you use higher ISOs and for shooting stars you should use a tripod and lower ISOs with longer shutter speeds

While shooting the moon (f/10, 100, ISO-100. 75-300 lens). Im able to start getting some nice pictures.
Thanks everyone.
But then I tried to do a star field and I moved the up ISO-1600 and got lots of noise.
Today I was reading about a Canon Rebel T31 and the story said that you could set it to ISO-12,800.
So my question is that If I can get into trouble shooting a star field at ISO-1600, then what would I use and ISO-12,800 for?

Normally you only use ISO-12,800 for taking pictures in low light with fast shutter speads where getting the picture is more important then the grainyness of it but then I try to stay as low as possible.
I've included a picture of what I mean I took it at ISO-6400 at 1/50th a second hand held I just got this image by doing a little panning and shooting in burst because he was moving so fast and never pausing Its not very well framed but It was hard enough to even see the cat through the viewfinder with how dark the exhibit was

I think you'd be better off shooting in color and like others said in post you have more control such as being able to tweak the individual color channels to help you get the best gray tone for areas in your picture

Is there a formula to fiqure the maximum distance at which the image quality (IQ) falls off ? Can you do an example: D90, 300mm lens, a duck on a lake. What is the maximum distance that the duck can be from you before the IQ drops off ? Then compare to FX sensor with same lens. Would the image quality be the same at the same distance or can you reach out farther with the FX sensor?
I don't know if there's an actual formula but since you get usable pictures at about 300 ft and 900 ft is about 3 times the distance I would think that if you use a lens with 3 to 4 times the focal length and for sure a tripod and shooting at at least 1/500 and keeping the ISO as low as possible as well as using Continuous-servo you could get a reasonable shot

I find 1and 2 okay I find 3 too distracting with the computer stuff on the right bottom.

Great picture I would just change one thing and that is taking it vertical instead of horizontal so it wouldn't be cutting off part of her head

I think you might need the latest driver for your monitor and graphics card. I've never had the problem with my desktop and windows 7 which my photos are also larger than my desktop resolution.
You can also get to what is stretch in Windows XP by right clicking on Desktop>Personalize>Desktop Background then under the picture folder previews there is a pull down menu where you select Fill.

Like your picture of Ash Cave, it makes mine from this past Summer look pathetic from the drought. I went to school down there and would love to move back to the Hocking Hills. You probably already know this but Lake Hope is a great place to take pictures of pink water lilies in late summer.

It really depends on what type of editing your doing
For Photoshop like stuff I've use Gimpshop
http://gimpshop.com/
For easy editing I use irfanview and Phierha. With Phierha giving you alot more options and irfanview if I want to see what an image looks like in monochrom or negative.

For quickly selectively cropping pictures to the correct aspect ratio for printing I use JPEGCrops

I'm still looking into a good free raw editor for windows I've used rawtherapee but its not stable enough

I herd something about that Ef-S lenses extend further into the camera body than an EF lens so the EF-S lenses get in the way of the mirror if you try using an EF-S lenses on a FF sensor but I don't have any way of comparing the 2 since I only have cropped sensor size lenses.

I've read reviews until I can't read them anymore. Tired of reading about vignetting, MTF charts, is aperture too slow, etc., etc. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE PICTURES IT TAKES!!!???!??

PS. on a 1.6 crop factor camera
I have it and I like the pictures it takes, After I take the pictures I usually use Bibble to prepare my files into JPEGs for printing and I haven't really noticed any difference when I adjust for lens correction or not. My only problem I have with it is I wish it zoomed in further since I'm always racking it out. If I was going to do it again I would get the full frame version of the lens Tamron AF 28-300MM F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical since I don't usually use the 18mm-30 mm range anyways and its a little bit cheaper to buy.

I can rotate in the camera but the computer still sees it as horizontal. My program is EL9.
