Obligatory ferris wheel shot





The ugliest apartment building in sydney which has by far the best view/position anywhere.

How do you guys get such long exposures of the stars without them moving? I assume that telescope guy had a motor which automatically compensated for the earths rotation or something but when I take a shot thats a minute or longer the stars start turning into lines.

Thanks. I see you shot that at ISO 6400. I was probably shooting around 400 for mine so would need a few minutes vs your 30 seconds. To be honest the noise isn't even noticeable in yours. Maybe it blurs in with the stars a bit.

Another question.

How do I go about keeping my tripod/camera steady in wind? I'm looking at a bunch of my photos from iceland and the wind has made a lot of the photos slightly blurry like they are slightly out of focus.

Now this is 80km/h winds so I dont know if theres a solution to that but i'm pretty sure they were vibrating the camera.

Yeh it was pretty intense.

Like blowing people over on the ice.

Ive got a video of myself walking into the wind at a glacier when it was blowing like 30metres/second.

I had to lean forward pretty far.
