How did you do this? How'd you make it seem like a model? I see this style all the time but can't figure out how to do it and don't know anyone who has.

Its called Tilt Shift: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography


I just popped in this thread to say I love night time and low-light photography, and its one of the main reasons I'm buying a DSLR. Hopefully in a few months I can pop back in with some of my own stuff that isnt laughable.

M106 & NGC4217 in the constellation Canes Venatici. A big stack of 10 minute exposures and lots of swearing about light pollution and camera read noise.




M42, the Orion Nebula from earlier in the year, stack of 5 minute exposures though I'm looking forward to do a better job of this next year.



(fixed links, thanks for the heads up).

What lens/telescope are you using on these?

If someone ran for president on the platform of banning sodium lights in favor of actual white lights, I would vote for them no matter what.

Right, but they look like poo poo and I'm angry at that.

I've been on an underexposure kick lately. I think it works especially well with night time shots.

Took these messing around in the mountains of Phoenix.

Thank you for replies. Will get my tripod soon then. Can I trust his reviews of lenses and cameras?

I wouldnt. Sometimes his views line up with the real world, but mostly they dont.

I still dont know if he's a really dedicated troll, or if he's just that dumb.

Is this the official/unofficial telescope thread?

If so, I have an Orion 130ST EQ with their EQ-2 mount: https://www.telescope.com/Orion-SpaceProbe-130ST-Equatorial-Reflector-Telescope/p/9007.uts

I just bought a T-mount for it with a Canon EOS ring on it so I can take pictures. I can already tell from watching a million youtube videos on the subject that the next thing I'll want is some sort of motorized mount to follow the stars/planets/moon. I'm not ready to pony up for a go-to mount yet, but there has to be some sort of affordable kit to add clockspring functionality to a regular mount, right? Its very literally just moving a servo motor or a stepper motor at a known speed.

Any advice in this area?

Got a mavic air 2 and was trying out some long exposure night shots when i heard sirens. i pointed the gimbal down just in time to snap an ambulance heading through

its wild how stable the ma2 is that it can take 1 second and longer shots without them turning to a blurry mess

Taken with a DJI Mavic Air 2. The hardest part about this shot was the fact that the church is lit from the side, which makes for nice, easy, relatively fast shutter speed photos. The hard part of that is the light attracts a shitload of bugs, which in turn attract a shitload of bats.

Once I got it up in the air and cleared the power lines and trees, the bats were my only worry. Thankfully, I think the droning buzzing sound might have deterred them a bit but I didn’t have any bat strikes either way
