Night photos long exposure

This will give you an Idea how this method really does work, why its worth thinking outside the square. Remember I can not see these with my eyes just on the camera sensor. A 9 min shot to get the stars to trail around the pole. A real world photo of the same areas detailing the parts .

I stayed past the time of moon rise to capture the moon as it rose through the tree but I found this that is better.

I have been confined to my laptop as the desk top is playing up. I found this shot I had edited but never posted. I only had the 14mm but I was able to borrow my night shooter 16-35 mm lens. A look back in time.

Half way Up the huge Dome this will give you an idea of size, You cant miss Perth Either. Trucks and Cars provided the back lighting in the trees. 10 shots I put the 360 degree 14 shot on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/33814724@N03/48627923898

Denham was going to be spot to get a Milky Way Bow as it is Dark but forecast clouds. This is 10 min walk from the hotel I did two others walking further down the beach away from the lights. I let the town lighting do the lighting of the foreground and all the navigation lights.

A sculpture on the foreshore Of Denham on the way home. I could not resist.

A lot more info to read part of history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTC_Satellite_Earth_Station_Carnarvon

My first real Astro photo with some background, idea and small amount of experience. 2014 come a long way in 6 years . PIPS just some of the few photos of this Rock.

Smokey Moon from all the fires.

I went hunting Orion but found it so high it was almost too hard to photograph. The photo I got inspires me to wait till next year to get it even better before posting.

Take two Added PIPS are the two main Nebula groupings. sky tracked 4min Tree not tracked 4 min.

After weeks and weeks of being clouded in when I got up at 1 am there was no clouds about. A view of Mindarie beach looking towards the South and Fremantle Glow. this is less than 5 min from home even a peak time. this is a full 360 degrees or 13 shots to get the whole way around. It was so hot I was sweating in shorts and singlet, Lightening inland and way out to sea. The shot was taken with a Haida 77mm clear night filter on my 16-35mm f4 lens as my first try with a Clear night filter to kill the light pollution. the filter was mainly bought for my deep space shots but was worth a go. While the light glow has been cut back the Milky way Bow in the shot is still effected by the whole light plume from the City Starts over the city and finished at the walk way to the beach. This was taken well within the City limits of the Northern end of Perth. this will be part of my normal night shooting but I have had to get a 150x 150 mm for the 14mm lens and modify a holder to take the filter.

First try with the 14mm lens and home modified holder to hold a 150 x 150 clear night filter. on my full size shot I can see the red of the Orion nebula highlighted by the filter. first real break in the clouds looking out to sea due west. Not an outstanding photos to most but a big step forward.

A shot you would not get, taken from the top of the Fremantle Port Authority building. I was lucky one of our customers took me up and let me shoot some photos A truly elevated view.. Part of the back catalog as no moving about at the moment even here.

This is open but it would be best to choose a photo from the back catalog of yours for this HF In this time of trouble. My first night out of lock down I took Grandsons Girlfriend out under the stars as she had never seen the Milky way. Other than my photos and they are "never real", it is never like this. Oh but it is. The good part is I found some one willing to give a shot a go even if it meant standing still for two shots. Never write off a shot that never went the way "you planned it to go". Nothing like a night under the stars. A very complex set of lighting some not even planned for..............

Clear night filter and learning to edit the colours. Just which is better I tend to like the grey blue rather than the Rusty red from 2014 Auto WB. For those interested this a two shot horizontal vertical panorama you can see just how much the light pollution has moved since 2014

By way of comparison Auto WB. Andy Provided the Lighting as he could not get a photo ran out of battery. 2020 Clear night filter and learning to edit the colours. Just which is better I tend to like the grey blue rather than the Rusty red.
