This is a long exposure, I swear.  Click image for flickr page/larger sizes Exposure: 15s Aperture: f/4.0 Focal Length:10 mm And yes I watermark my photos (though I have since changed it/sized it down)

Did anyone get any photos of the meteor shower the past few nights (Nondo)?

This was one of the first pictures I took after buying my tripod. 25 seconds exposure, ISO800, in almost pitch black. In the background are street lights, it's not a sunset

 596 images, 10s exposures. It's sister image (started about a minute after this one) is 597. I will probably post it later, as it actually has a decent Perseid in it, as opposed to the very short-lived ones that are only visible in this one under close inspection at near maximum resolution. Stacked with a Photoshop action, same as my one from the Tetons last year.  The two streaks in the top left are Iridium flares. There are also two jets visible.

That is sweet. That is so loving sweet. I am now trying to work out how to do that with a panorama. Edit: I don't know what a perseid meteor shower looks like, so I can't quite work out a couple things. Can you tell me the ISO and F/stop and camera used for your pictures, Leviathor? If you don't mind! Edit 2: This is the greatest thing I've ever done. I'm going to be on tenderhooks until I can print it out. I'm going to go buy an A1 portfolio solely because of this diptych.

For the first: f/4; ISO800. For the Tetons, I don't remember. I think they were 15s exposures, probably also at f/4 and ISO800.

PlasticSun posted:Few from my latest trip out into Utah: Those are loving fabulous! What kind of post-processing did you do? I can't ever seem to get my milky way's that crisp without startrails forming due to too long of exposures....but then again I'm not usually in the middle of nowhere with no light pollution. Do you do the dirtbike thing and ride rampart too?

It's been awhile since I used this account, but I wanted to thank you guys for lighting my shutterbug tendencies again. I'll be shooting a lot more. Here's a few of my favorite long exposure shots... 15s @ f/22  2s @ f/2.8 (sorry for the faint blur on the left. Some asshat jumped on the roof while I was taking this shot. I didn't realize it until I was in London, 2 weeks later and couldn't re-shoot.)  30s @ f/4.5  30s @ f/4.0  And this one, I dislike so many things about. It's about 7 years old or so I think, taken with an old sony mavica with a ghetto wide-angle humped onto the builtin optics. I had to tinker with the colors a bit to take a bit of the overexposure out of the lighting and define it a bit more than it was. But since it's my only successful lighting pic, I still <3 it. =)  Same setup and camera as above. But my first "real" pic that I really fell in love with.  DLR in London  And now I'll quit spamming. =P

I apologize for the condition of these, my scanner is broken so I had to use my roommate's god awful dirty one. I took these with a Polaroid Land Camera that I took the crappy plastic lens off of and replaced it with a Prontor shutter from a different camera.   Now I need to scrounge up enough money for a tripod that isn't utter shite.

MrButterpants posted:Those are loving fabulous! Thanks! There's very little post done on the images, the shots were 30 seconds at 2.8 and ISO 1600. On my 20D they're pretty noisy but they print at 11 X 17 pretty well. If there's interest I can post the originals here tomorrow. The Dakar is pretty heavy for most of the stuff at Rampart but I've been back there a few times, mostly I just like riding Jeep roads and 4wheel drive tracks, it's been over a few gnarly things like Black Bear Pass but each time I do that I just seem to collect a lot of stratches on the sidetanks and bruises everywhere on me. The XR650L you see in the shot is Stress Pill's the Triumph Bonnieville belongs to Rope Kid. PlasticSun fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Aug 18, 2009 |

This is from a page ago, but I have a questionNondo posted:Sorry I missed this. If I'm shooting digital (maybe you were too?), should I be concerned with leaving my sensor going for 1833 seconds? Is that why some people stack exposures?

Here's the "sequel" to the star trails above: 597 10-second exposures. One Perseid on the right side, and a couple satellites on the left.

TiberiusM posted:If I'm shooting digital (maybe you were too?), should I be concerned with leaving my sensor going for 1833 seconds? Is that why some people stack exposures? No, your sensor will be fine, if your battery lasts long enough. You might get some heat spots, little coloured pixels in your photo, but they are easily removed. What stacking exposures is for, in one instance, is catching a scene with something dynamic in it. Star trails, or even a scene with moving people. If you take six times thirty second exposures of a scene with moving people, or cars, or stars, you will have these neat trails, or just multiple of the same person or whatever in a scene that is correctly exposed. But if you take a 180 second exposure, you'll just have a ridiculously over exposed photograph. I hope that makes sense, I'm pretty fatigued.

snowman posted:What am I looking at? I like it. On the left is a 31 image polar panorama looking up, on the right is a 31 image polar panorama looking down. The panoramas have been taken at the exact same latitude and longitudinal point, to the inch, but 25 metres straight up. And I've never seen this gigapan thing before. I don't think it would work for me, it's probably more for daylight, point and shoot panoramics, but it looks neat.

Two panoramics I took form the roof of a hotel on a hill on the edge of my city. Would it not have been so hazy you could have seen across the Georgia border into South Carolina.

So many of the images in this thread are just stunning. Very inspiring, I have been meaning to take a ride into the city with a tripod on a good night, this is pushing me in the right direction. I don't have almost any experience with doing long exposure stuff, here are the few I've tried in the past.

 Metadata on Flickr seems to have gotten screwed up between the shooting and the compositing and the uploading. Speeds were 2.5 seconds for the background and 1/400 for the flames.

Haha that's brilliantly confusing, I love it. I don't have anything significant to add, it's been a while since I've taken a decent amount of photos and the few I have are more just tests to see how dark I can do handheld. [1/6 2.8 6400 handheld]

Here's one of mine: I have a really hard time getting good focus when I'm trying to take pictures of the moon. I am using a Sigma 70-300mm lens and I just can't quite get focus. Does anyone have any tips, or do I just need to buck up and get a nice good quality prime glass? Here's an example. This is after Photoshopping it with USM.
