 Tumblr More from the other night that I finally got around to. I found the LMC! But god, white balance at night is hard, I mean the road markings are white but the sky is so red, not sure what I'm doing that's making it so. Trambopaline fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Aug 27, 2012 |

Photos from telescope cafe. It was very cloudy but between them I got some great shots of the moon and saw Saturn and four of her moons.  Albumn on Picasa including Saturn and four moons. Negative Entropy fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Sep 4, 2012 |

Wow, the pictures of Saturn and its moons are really cool. There's something pretty magical about being able to take detailed pictures of another planet.

  I really like my tiny little Hasselblad. It's so cute. It does not get women. But it's still cute! It looks like I might be going out into the mines in Western Australia. I was originally planning to go to the Arctic Circle in Russia but I got bored and came home to Australia, so my next plan is star and lightning shots in northern Australia.

Tried shooting stars for the first time last night. Big dipper  Otava by Sami Kaukolinna, on Flickr milky way  Linnunrata by Sami Kaukolinna, on Flickr and some star trails  Star trails by Sami Kaukolinna, on Flickr I should have included some foreground objects to that star trail photo. I don't really know why i didn't. In all of my test photos i had something, but at the last minute i changed the composition. Rovasti fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Sep 17, 2012 |

There is something that attracts me to faint nebulae that I have no business shooting with my equipment. I spent ~7 hours shooting last night and these pics are still noisy (and low res) as hell. http://geza.zenfolio.com/p17317512/h4331f6fc#h4331f6fc http://geza.zenfolio.com/p17317512/h4332484e#h4332484e Still, I'm very happy with these. theHUNGERian fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Sep 17, 2012 |

I wanted to hve a play with mosaics within Pixinsight (astro image processing software I use). So I took three frames of Andromeda to have a go with. The Andromeda Galaxy - M31 by tmarkuk, on Flickr Each frame composed of 21x180 captures. Getting the background light levels matched between then is pretty tricky.

Has anyone done any long exposure where they light up something on the ground briefly? I was thinking about trying to take a long exposure of the sky and briefly lighting a cactus in the foreground. Just looking for any tips or suggestions.

"In 0.5 miles, arrive at 29.501395,-96.129905."  This is my second attempt at taking pictures of stars. Finding a place with decent levels of light pollution is pretty tedious though. Lediur fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Sep 19, 2012 |

I was thinking about trying to take a long exposure of the sky and briefly lighting a cactus in the foreground. Just looking for any tips or suggestions. Yeah, I've done it several times. Here's an example I happen to have uploaded from last year. I used an LED flashlight I happened to have in the car:  It's pretty fun to do.. and it helps keep you occupied. You tend to sit around for long periods when shooting at night, and manning a flashlight helps the time pass.  As for technique, just experiment. It doesn't take long to figure out how much is too much and how little is too little.

Atticus_1354 posted:Has anyone done any long exposure where they light up something on the ground briefly? Look up light painting and you'll find lots of examples and techniques. The best part is you can control how soft the light is by moving the light source around, acting like a fake ring light or softbox. Circlestrafe for softness!  The Cliche Galaxy by Icybacon, on Flickr This was with a small LED too, probably spending 1/3 of the exposure lighting the joshua tree.

Some completely unasked for crits, hope you don't mind...Clown posted:
These are pretty cool compositionally, but I feel like the processing is a little weird. They all seem to have a fairly strong green tinge, and the shadows are really blue. It's especially noticeable in the last one (where yeah, I think you went overboard on the HDR), but looking at the clouds and bridge in number 2, all the metal parts in 3 or the handrail and bridge shadows in 4 it seems like you've done something strange. Either that or the lighting there has changed a lot since I was last in London. Clown posted:
I like these a lot more. First one is really nice, although that building on the far right still has something odd going on with the blues. Really like the lines in the second, can't decide if I'd prefer it with a tight vertical crop. There's also some slight haloing on the cables, but it's not that distracting. mearn posted:I took this about a week ago, first time messing with an ND filter. I'm pretty happy with the results I got and learned some useful things for the next time I decide to shoot fireworks. Like this a lot, I agree with Clown that it'd be even better without that middle firework (or if that streak were completely vertical). I guess that's not really something that's easy to control, though. This shot is just great. I wouldn't mind if the lit up buildings in the background had a bit more detail, but I love it as is. e: actually maybe I even prefer it now, with the way they merge into the bright sky. big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Sep 23, 2012 |

^ I like them both! Especially the top one, I love tha the fog/lake in the background is totally white. And this technically isn't a long exposure just a night shot, we don't really have a just "night shots" specific thread so I threw it in here.

 Just a pass of the ISS over the lake in front of my house. I think it was a bit lower in altitude due to docking with a cargo capsule recently so it was pretty bright. edit: vvv Haha, I'll never be able to look at this and not think that now.

It was a clear night last night so I drove an hour out of the city and tried to get some wide-angle shots. I guess 30 seconds is too long of an exposure, even at 16mm, and I got too much star movement. I also got a ton of light pollution from the city even an hour away.   Can't wait until I get my tracking mount and I can eliminate star movement.

Yeah, if memory serves 20 seconds is about the longest you can go at 16mm, on a crop sensor anyways. Full frame can go a little longer.
