Your Photo of the Week

[Tim Mayo]

Very nice photo @Tim Mayo

I did a little walk in the woods last evening, the autumn is really catching up now.

Thank you! Lovely shot too! We are definitely in the midst of Autumn here as well now.

Curlew at Blakeney Freshmarsh

Cracking shot Kev. They normally arrive by us around late March time. Numbers were down this year though unfortunately.

These days I'm normally asleep by 10pm no matter how promising the aurora activity levels are. Luckily last weekend there was a pretty reasonable display at 8pm already. This SOOC JPEG image was taken from our back garden. The red was visible with the naked eye.

You are lucky, here in BC there has been clouds and a 15 minute burst on a clear night which I missed. Now we have a Atmospheric River happening, it's going to dump 100+mm of rain over the next 24 hrs. and the rest of the weekend.

Trying some new things in my night photography. Cape Schanck lit only by a near full moon about 10:30 last night. I was hoping to try some star trails, but a combination of cloudiness with very bright moonlight put paid to that idea.

This farm is a local favorite of mine. I make it a point to swing by whenever I am in the area to see how it is looking.

The past few weeks I've been waiting for some clear skies of a night when I didn't need to work the following day. Last night by driving a few hours north I finally got to try taking a star trails image for the second time ever. When I arrived it looked like a wasted drive, as can be seen by the first image, however, after waiting another 2 hours, this is the result of 250 X 30 second exposures taken between 10:45pm and 1:05am blended in StarStaX.

Love the star trails. I used to take these on film back in the day. Would love to give this ago again. How did you set this up on your camera?

 

[DaveC Oz]

^Thanks Richard. I used my A7CR with the Viltrox 16mmf1.8 lens. The camera was set to ISO 640, f2.8, 30seconds, W/B 4600K. I then set the internal intervalometer to shoot 250 shots with a 1 second interval between. I then converted the ARW files to TIFF's, imported and merged in StarStax. I also light painted the bridge in first 2 or 3 frames with a spotlight.
