just joined.

Any specific location on the fraser hill? Sorry I'm not familiar with fraser hill, that's a huge place I presumed

You can try this.... i think finding a good high spot is challenging in Fraser hill alone, best if bring along your friends. Morning/afternoon scout place, night time only start planning to shoot.

Bro Tenchi, Thanks for sharing your setting. Now I want to share my result Quality not so good, but good enough for beginner like me

not bad...in the populated area also can get this shot...

but if got more foreground will be more perfect...keep it up

Thanks Bro. I was lucky, because last friday night there was a black out in my area. No street lights also. Can't sleep yet, and look up to the sky, there was many stars so decide to take a few shots here and there right in front of my house. I was quite surprise after I transferred those picture to my tablet via playmemories. By the time I realized I shot milkyway, and want to do it again, the power came back.....

By the way, I re-looked again your shot, seems to be very clean......did you do post processing with lightroom? These 2 i shot was in JPG format....should had went for RAW and process it with capture 1.....


p/s: More foreground....like this?

I think your lens is not wide enough, you'll either need to get an ultra wide angle lens or do a panorama 1 of the sky and 1 of the foreground and stitch together.

I agreed! That's why I'm eyeing on the samyang 12mm f2.0

Hi there! Would interested to join with you guys if my weekend permits.

So far only milky way i ever shot was at Laban Rata.

Yup previous user had said it...not wide enuf...mine also too...just a kitlens....16mm only

Yup I shot in raw, process in lightroom on PC (not phone).

Pic took from the net...

last week outing? why so much light pollution?

wanna try out new place, didnt expect that place to have such heavy pollution even though is away from city area already

any idea how to capture milky way
i just giv a try at cameron highlands last week
seems like i get nothing from there, mayb its too cloudy =(
im using a6000 kit, could be lens problem?

You may need to use this apps to find Milky Way.

Is the sky clear without clouds? I heard Cameron have more mist since last week.

let us know the place, so we can avoid it~ thanks

is pantai remis in Jeram

My shots was done with sony a6000 + pz 16-50mm kit lens. No problem at all for getting the milkyway. Matter to me just that aperture not wide enough...

yeah im thinking the aperture holding it back, since this lens only able to do max f3.5
anyway, how much ISO u use for capture milky way?

I did iso 6400. But I think it was too high (noise is taking a heavy toll on the IQ). I've just read that long exposure noise is significantly lower than high iso noise. So, next time, I will try iso 3200 or less with longer exposure setting (was using 20 sec) perhaps will try 25 sec instead.
