Actually two photos. The previous one a little under had a much better looking fire so I masked it in

Moonbow in Yosemite - I could kill myself for using high ISO, but I think I had the camera on auto. Focusing was my biggest problem - I tried getting it set for the hyperfocal distance, but I kind of messed up. It took me 45 minutes to see the moonbow with my eyes.

I kind of like the look, it's similar to stuff shot on old film cameras with high saturation film.

Shot on T-MAX 100 @ ISO100 for about a second. Hadn't had the camera long but I enjoyed the effect that I got. Camera was a Contax 159MM with a Zeiss 1.8/50mm for anyone interested. Love the camera to bits but the mechanisms are starting to jam and the light seals are rotting

Sure. I have the original 4272 x 2848 file. Do you just want a jpg or the raw file? I suck at post, so you're more than welcome to mess with it.

I was messing around with a few photos I took a while back that I thought were pretty useless, but when I brought the white balance all the way down to 2000 or so I noticed that the colors became much closer to daylight and I was able to get results that looked like somewhat surreal daytime photos.

These were both taken in almost pitch dark except for the streetlights you see.

I'm interested to see if anyone else likes the look of these?

I went outside at 9:45 to get a few night shots. Not getting the one shot I was going for added insult to injury, the injury coming in the form of walking balls-first into my lawnmower, which I forgot I had moved to the patio this afternoon. I got some boring sky shots to compensate for the loss and will post them on Tuesday when I have a computer capable of talking to my camera without crashing.

I do like them, although the vignetting on the second one is distracting and the green channel looks blown or close to clipping. I assume they were sodium halide lights if you had to drop the white balance so much and the colors are still beautiful, I've found in my limited experience that setting to flash white balance and doing long exposures under moonlight produces saturation right on the border of believable and bright enough to illuminate properly at 30s and f/5.6

This looks almost like an infrared shot and is awesome.

this feels heavily left-weighted and I think it would benefit from a crop in the same ratio with the CN tower on the right vertical 3rds line.

M106 & NGC4217 in the constellation Canes Venatici. A big stack of 10 minute exposures and lots of swearing about light pollution and camera read noise.

M42, the Orion Nebula from earlier in the year, stack of 5 minute exposures though I'm looking forward to do a better job of this next year.

l33tc4k30fd00m: Sep 5, 2004; porkchops

After having a tripod for a few months I actually decided to use properly and get some long exposures in London. I used FP4+ at ISO 200 (I can't even remember why I decided to push it anymore).

I'd like to give this one another go one day because I think it has more potential than what I got out of it. I think this was 2 minutes or so.

I think this was 4 or so seconds.

Just had to give the ol' light trails thing a try. This stuff is really fun, though the adjustments for reciprocity failure on B&W film are pretty intense. Again about 2+ minutes I think, original metered exposure would have been around 32 seconds.

More dusk than night. I saw some kids messing around on the riverbank skipping stones and the like. It was a rush setting up the tripod in time to capture this. Not sure how long the exposure was anymore. But over 30 seconds. It was a bit overexposed on the negative though.

I can't put my finger on what this reminds me of, but it reminds me of something and I really like it.

What lens/telescope are you using on these?

# ? Apr 29, 2010 20:15

Jekub: Jul 21, 2006; April, May, June, July and August fool

They are both taken with a Canon 1000D at prime focus on a 250mm F4.7 (1200mm) reflector mounted on a Celestron CGEM. Autoguiding is done with a modified webcam on a 70mm refractor.

It's quite a widefield setup really for deep space objects, but I'm finding for larger objects and clustered objects like the leo triplet that it is about right. I would like a nice dedicated astro camera at some point though, maybe next year.

Not sure what happened to the sky here. It probably had something to do with all the sodium lights pushing the colour temperature over 50000.

Any critique? Totally new at this, but I'm having fun!

EDIT:

A couple more from the same set.
