QUOTE(amduser @ Aug 7 2013, 05:31 PM) moon nothing to shoot one la, use the longest focal length, spot metering and a tripod then align the middle AF point to the moon then just shoot only  meteors and milky ways all those i dont really know  No wonder that day the big moon day all my shots of the full moon are like one big round piece of s---. Anyway thanks a lot for sharing, pal! |

QUOTE(MichaelJohn @ Aug 7 2013, 06:23 PM) ^ Yep and the clouds are at minimal too Dude, how do you do the star trail shot bro??? Looks so nice! I hope I can do that some day........ If it's during the night then it's almost the same procedure as taking star trail or milky way shots, Have to find suitable location where light pollution is minimal and the sky is not over packed with clouds, set up your tripod, set for long exposure and just shoot. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hey it's my 2 cents, anyone with more knowledge is welcome to correct me   -add- Do you need some kind of a software to do it?

QUOTE(MichaelJohn @ Aug 7 2013, 08:19 PM) Theres 2 methods but both still requires you to expose your sensor for a certain time. 1) Do a 20-30sec exposure for a certain interval and get hundreds of photos of it (Required an intervalometer or remote) then later stack up those photos using software (I used StarStax) More info : http://digital-photography-school.com/4-st...acking-software 2) This one requires experimenting ( i guess ?) , you set your camera for bulb mode and exposed your sensor up to like 1 hour and above. (Recommended to use a remote also to reduce camera shake). But I heard this one is the most trickiest and a bit dangerous if you dunno what to do,especially exposing your sensor for a long period. Thanks man! I searched the web and don't know why only found the second method.  |

QUOTE(MichaelJohn @ Aug 7 2013, 08:31 PM) Do share the results bro I am only using a Nikon P7100, and not those high-end DSLRs, as most of you are using. So I do not know if my photos are of interest to you guys.    |

QUOTE(copperwire93 @ Sep 21 2013, 08:21 PM) Yep, I always like dark-esque photos (most of the time). I applied most of my photos with digital vignette. Cool technique you have there. It gives me kind of like a scary feeling every time I look at the above photo man! Ohh and thanks for the settings. Sure thing about the settings. I was shooting in shutter priority mode. Here's the exif. Camera Nikon D5100 Exposure 2 Aperture f/22.0 Focal Length 18 mm ISO Speed 100 Exposure Bias -10/3 EV Lens Model 18.0-200.0 mm f/3.5-6.3 (Sigma) You can always check my exif from flickr. I don't hide it.  |
