For the stars, you need a fast lens wide open with a high iso (e.g. 6400). Therefore you would need a very low power flash for the rim lighting.

Hubben I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your questions. Perhaps someone here could assist?
I usually try to keep my ISO as low as possible for night shots as they start to get muddy with noise. I find about 3200 is my max, although with the D3s you can shoot up to 12800 and still get useable images

Fantastic idea.
Oh the things you can do with an eternal flash... or flashlight.
- Did you consider painting him instead of flashing? it may target the light better.

Ya that was the first time I used off camera flash on a trip. There wasn't any portages so I was able to bring a bit more stuff, including a small light stand.

good idea,fool around with some light sources and you could have a really different sort of photo.

I've had this idea for a shot for some time but it didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. I was hoping for a clear night so that I could capture a crisp Milky Way right above my dad....oh well, good excuse to get out and try again rigth?

Actually not too long...the nice thing about using flash is that it freezes the subject so you don't get as much motion blur

Very nice. How long did he have to sit perfectly still for?

understood. I'd love to see what you do going forward with this idea.

Steve-
I've been visiting this site less-frequently lately, but when I do, it's often to see what you've been up to with photography. Do you happen to know if there's way to rig/time an external flash with a Canon 70's-era 35mm SLR film camera? I like the freeze effect when I have a person included in a long exposure sky/landscape photo, but would like to be able to alter the direction of the lighting.

Ya I was going for a totally different look than light painting. I was going for more of a rim light effect as opposed to a properly exposed subject.
