I was down in portsmouth when that happened, didn't get to see anything though.
Tried my hand at some star photography a few days ago. Really pleased with my results. [t]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/16191301478_862f12ab17_k.jpg[/t] [t]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8582/15756637854_6cc9e511ae_k.jpg[/t]
Did you trip over as you took the second one?
[QUOTE=Mr Shadyface;47027271]Did you trip over as you took the second one?[/QUOTE] It's a long exposure, so as the stars move across the sky, it creates long streaks of light
That second one is one of the best of its kind that I've seen.
That first one is really nice. What camera you got?
I take it it was taken on a very calm night? The trees are nice and crisp.

[QUOTE=Recurracy;47028198]did you increase the exposure for the first shot? because holy shit if you didn't where'd you take these?[/QUOTE] It was boosted a tiny bit, sharpened and I turned down the shadows, but other than that it's mostly out of the camera. It was taken at a skiing lake near a tiny town of about 50 people called Frankland river in Western Australia.
I gotta get myself one of those 11mm lenses. Cus it looks amazing.
[QUOTE=booster;47028247]I gotta get myself one of those 11mm lenses. Cus it looks amazing.[/QUOTE] Easily one of the best purchases I've ever made. Doesn't break the bank either.
Great shots, so clean.
Do you have that second one in a 2560px width? I'd love to make that the first background for my new PC when it's built.

Did another fairly successful astrophotography session.

Did another exposure of orion, and finally got my tracking issues resolved, although not before I was really cold and the orion nebula had dipped behind some trees. Stacked the two good ones out of 40 exposures. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/te6WIws.jpg[/thumb]
