Went out and did some stargazing last weekend. I like that you can see the Andromeda Galaxy faintly in the second picture.

By the way, is there any good way to do portrait astrophotography? Basically, I think it would be fun to have a person or group of people in the foreground and the stars in the background. Would I have to raise the f-stop to get everything in focus and raise the ISO to compensate? Would it look okay if I used a flash (for the foreground) coupled with a 30 second exposure (for the background)?

is 2 seconds long enough for a long-exposure post... if it's from the air?

Do your long exposure the same as you always would.

Not really sure where to post this but it's tangentally related, looking at the best time lapse photo app for android? There's an android app thread but this is a little more specific than the normal request so I figured I'd ask in The Dorkroom. Long exposure astronomy photography videos typically are a series of long exposures done in timelapse style (I think?) I found Lapse It https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ui.LapseIt&hl=en And Framelapse https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Nishant.Singh.DroidTimelapse&hl=en Anything else I should look at? We have an ice storm (Dallas gets impressive ice storms that coat everything in 2-5mm of ice) rolling through tomorrow and I was going to task my spare cell phone with recording it over the next 36 hours with a photo every 90 seconds or 3 minutes or whatever.

I wanted something like that, but the thing it huge, the rooms don't connect all the way through, and lots of crap to trip over in the dark. There was a smaller bunker near by were I was able to pull something like that off. Set the shutter to a delay, ran inside and ran the flashlight over the ceiling.  adgibson-20150216-IMG_6393 by A.D.Gibson, on Flickr

Yeah that earlier building looks huge. I like this shot a lot though and basically was what I was thinking about.

There was a light festival thing going on in my city the other week, figured that would be a good time to get some long exposures. Most of them didn't turn out too great, but I got a couple I like bits of. IMG_1972.jpgNot a huge fan of the dust and stuff on the lens in this one, but I like the actual shot more compared to the second of the two:  IMG_1944.jpg.

Snowy night, unearthly glow 20150224-DSC_5442 by revbleech, on Flickr Attempted some star photography on the Outer Banks last weekend. Not the results I hoped for, but the 45 minutes in 13 degree weather was still totally worth it. Probably would have had better results without the fisheye/ultra wide-angle adapter, but it was so cold I couldn't get it off.  20150220-DSC_5090 by revbleech, on Flickr  20150220-DSC_5080 by revbleech, on Flickr  20150220-DSC_5077 by revbleech, on Flickr  20150220-DSC_5076 by revbleech, on Flickr Rev.

Pretty sure the tripod shifted sometime during this exposure (3 hours long and the tripod was in the snow... shoulda dug it down a bit better instead of leaving it to settle). Still, this live composite mode definitely works.  P3030200 by MrDespair, on Flickr

What a great idea, take a decent cityscape and then ruin all the contrast by cranking the sliders to maximum. And then put some blur on it so the whole image is out of focus.

Every time I have an opportunity to take astrophotography pictures in dark zones, the moon is out full blast. gently caress you, moon. Maybe I could get some moonscapes instead. Gonna try the 6D with the sigma 35mm 1.4

Took this during night ops on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. One of the most dangerous places in the world to work. This guys is watching the landing area to ensure it's clear for the next incoming aircraft. 150407-N-ZA585-025 by jesusdoesvegas, on Flickr

 First time trying either lightning or combining exposures. Some artifacts that I don't like from the processing, but I'll have to play with this stuff and learn it a little better.

Subways are oddly common in small town america which I figure that photo is a slice of. That's just the back lot of the store. Like, I've seen them in places too small to even rate a McDonald's.
