TheLastManStanding posted:What are you using to process your photos? You've got a ton of hot pixels and I could have sworn both LR and the standard ACR could detect and remove them. Only thing I can figure is that my sensor is having some trouble, it is one of the recalled D750 sensors so I need to send it in. It's never been an issue in the past with the same settings.

You can alleviate some of that with dark frame subtraction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-frame_subtraction Basically you take a long exposure with the lens cap on and load that as a layer in photoshop on top of your normal image, then use the subtract layer setting and play with the opacity. Or if the scene (or people near you) allows it, run a flashlight over the terrain so your camera isn't trying to record black.

So the backyard of the place I just moved in to is cool as hell because it's on a cliff overlooking the ocean and there's not a lot of light pollution. The bad news is that the wind is up all the time. Is the best way to deal with that just to get a really heavy tripod or are there some other tricks?

Your tripod probably has a little hook underneath in the center column, you're supposed to hang your camera bag or whatever from that to weigh it down. More expensive tripods and ballheads are more stable but you can go a long way with a cheaper one if you crank the ballhead tight and weigh the tripod down.

If you can, I suppose lowering the tripod & spreading the legs out would also help.

Anyone ever done a multiple exposure style shot of the sun/moon and have some practical advice? Thinking of trying it for the lunar eclipse next month and am sorting out a composition. This type of shot: https://www.google.com/search?q=mul...bih=916#imgrc=_ It seems like I don't want to go wider than 35mm to avoid the moon being pin sized, but this will limit how much of the moon's path I can capture with a fixed camera. In this case, totality will be 62 minutes long and I want at least twenty minutes on either side to get some of the entry/exit phase too, so figure 100 minutes of captures. However at 35mm the moon will cross the frame in about 55 minutes (less, actually, because I shoot on a crop sensor). Ideally I'd go even narrower, a bigger moon is cooler, but the moon is going to be quite high in the sky (55 to 68 degrees) so I'm thinking I'm going to have to be fairly close to the foreground I have in mind. Do most people that do this kind of shot do a pan to keep the moon in frame, assemble in photoshop, then merge in a single foreground frame?

Alright, I repurposed some dive weights as tripod stabilizer weights and it seems like the result is a lot better, though I still need a bunch of practice before I start to be happy with astro stuff. There's more light pollution than I assumed though, and the super high humidity doesn't really help with that, but I can't really complain considering I'm walking like 30 feet from the door.

Are you using a remote shutter release/the delayed release built into the camera? That would help also.

I use the delay, but I think just the fact that it's so windy up here is going to be my limiting factor. Even the weights will catch the wind and start to shake it on some of the shots.

 Was iced in at the condo but wanted to photograph some downtown fireworks. Stood in -4 fahrenheit weather up on a hill behind the condo and the fireworks just barely crested the trees. Good enough. Happy new year, y'all.

If I'm stabilizing a tripod I'll use a weight on the ground and an adjustable bungee so the weight is still pulling on the tripod but isn't swinging in the air and causing the very problem it's meant to solve.

Quick dirty phone edit because I forgot to charge my laptop Buying a clamp-on camera mount and clamping it to my van was a good call; it's not immune to wind but it takes a lot more to gently caress up the shot than on a 2 lb tripod.

First time somewhere with very little light pollution in a long while. I need a wider lens (18mm on a crop is a bit tight) but not a bad first try.

charliebravo77 posted:but not a bad first try. whoah there don't be too hard on yourself. 18mm on a crop is not too tight; this looks bad either because you missed your focus or your shutter was open for too long causing star trails. You also pushed your exposure way too hard resulting in that awful shadow noise.

Slightly better:  CO/SD/WY 2019 by charliebravo77, on FlickrI wanted a wider FOV just to get more of the mountains in the shot. I definitely missed focus I think, it was only a 20 second exposure so I don't think that was the culprit. Better luck next time I guess.

First attempt at a star trail with a large format film camera, ok but could have gone a lot better. 1.5 hour exposure on 4x5 Ektar 100, f5.6 on a 135mm lens. I intended to go for >2 hours but at 1.5 it started to rain and the lens was fogged by that point anyway so I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did tbh.
