Hey Michael, it's as much time as you want. I don't have a typical time as I have done it for various reasons. The latest was about 3 weeks for an ultra slow, lot's of stops trip. Well worth the trip.
That's a super cool view Jeffrey! I like seeing the vegetation spaced out like that.
I don't see anyone for miles! Though it does look like you have a neighbor, you have a friend with?
Thanks Alan.
Yeah, once you start doing astro with a telescope, it's amazing how many nebula's one can pick out even when they are tiny dots. And of course, after so many years I am familiar with the level of Ha that my cameras normally pick up, so even a 20% gain is noticeable. But the gain is...
This is from 2 weeks ago, a different angle. I am working on the batch of images from my astro modded Nikon Z6II.
I had the Nikon Z6II modded by Spencers Camera in Utah. I know quite a few people who have used them. Instead of just an Ha mod for the Astro, they do what's called a "Visible Light...
Uh oh Murali.... I don't want to have to say the word 'feathering" to go along with the V word... :) But you might want to go outside and see if you can find a feather off of a bird and use it on the "V". :)
Otherwise, I do like your composition. The girl in it is perfect.
Also remember, the...
That's super cool Michael. What a neat find here. I like the IR look with this.
I am wondering if the collapse came from having the silo hatch closed and sealed and then temperature changes caused it to collapse in a bit. But clearly whatever the issue it looks like it's in need of some fuel to...
Super cool Kyle! I liked this a lot. I am glad you are getting into Timelapses more, without Ben here it's just me doing timelapses now.
And that's great how smoothly the transitions as it got darker were. Nikon has a similar smoothing setting, though I am not sure it works as well as what you...
Wow! The show was ending? It looks like the show is about to begin. I love the way it explodes from the horizon Alan. It may not have reds in it, but these golden tones sure are awesome.
Thanks Alan! When I was aiming, it was all happening so fast, I just focused on one and hoped for the best. So if more then 1 is in focus, then it's good to be lucky. :)
Yep, for sure. I think my Nikon Z8 images look a little better then this, it picked up a little more golden color to the right side of the image near the sunset.
I was livestreaming on YouTube at Huntington Beach, California last night at sunset, but I still had my Nikon Z8 so I could take photos. I had seen a huge flock of Seagulls on the sand a little ways back from the beach. They were hunkered down, and I didn't want to disturb them. But about 30...
This is an interesting set Ed.
#2 for some reason it feels like you are up high looking down. An optical illusion, but it felt kind of cool. Maybe it's just me on that one, but I thought it was neat.
#6, I like that beam of light. As to a trick to preserve the blown out area, you just use a...
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
