guys dslr emergency here....
can anyone teach me how to capture night sky photography...
i dont want go to out of town taking photo blindly without know the proper setting
This pic below was taken tonight about 11 p.m. at my house balcony......for testing
it doesnt hav night feeling...too bright??? maybe caused by streetlight

i think disrupted by the street lighting..

i like this. simple yet so nice
+1

aiya....i only use available light without flash

i dont like over saturated red

over than that is nice

what setting did u use there? the venue has uneven lighting...some area are really dim.

I found it difficult to get a proper exposure without flash.. and don't wanna use ISO > 1600.

your aperture opening is too big, use a smaller one like f/11. it will compensate the overexpose.

also use lower ISO, best is ISO 200 for Nikon, ISO 100 for Canon. When you shoot at long exposure, you have plenty of lights going into your camera so you don't need very high ISO and also can get a better image quality out of it, and also check if you can turn off Auto ISO in your camera. I have seen my friends shooting at ISO 3200 all the time without knowing it.

D800 about RM9500, not sure about D4 since out of budget and haven't been following that.

how much for singapore convert to myr?

side note: i only got 950 in saving now i blame gundam and hatsune miku

hi all sifu, i shoot group photo with D7000 + Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 + SB900, now im try to survey tripod that can support my equipment, before this i just use free cheap digieye tripod but its not stable at all, can suggest me which tripod can fit my need? my budget is around RM400..

aperture priority, auto ISO with maximum ISO 6400, minimum shutter 1/60

or manual mode, auto ISO, maximum ISO 6400, minimum shutter 1/60

i use 1/100 and faster shutter if i want to secure a sharp shoot

lightning at entrance is play, but the ticketing counter there is bad yet still so many cosplayers there and there are even people who setup mini studio

most of the pictures i taken is at 2nd floor at the other end of the hall which have better lightning and less crowded

day 1: 22 picture
day 2: 50 picture

not much if compare to some of the people who shoot 300+ photos

i use matrix metering all the way, forget to change to spot metering

only a few picture i use spot metering

Control you ISO. if for some reason your camera selecting ISO 6400, for sure your image like that one lor..
use smaller aperture like f8, use tripod to compensate the slow shutter.

In the side note, I am getting myself a 35mm 1.8 again!

Is YN-560 II fast enuff to freeze water splash...and how the build quality???

seems like you never read clearly in first post, USD 700 there.
