This week, I've decided to mix things up a bit, by showing a few of my "startrail" photos, as well as my regular starscape ones.
For the star trails, I use a method known as stacking, whereby you take a bunch of 30 second exposures - one directly after the other - for about an hour (the longer you go for, the longer the trail becomes). Once you're done shooting, load all your photos into your favourite image editing program, and merge them all together. It's a bit more time consuming, but the results below speak for themselves.
As for the regular starscape ones, they have a maximum exposure time of about 20 seconds - any longer, and streaking will become visible. A full guide on both these methods will be coming up soon (in the meantime, I've listed all my equipment used at the bottom).
Hopefully you enjoy these photos, and I'll be posting more when I've had the chance to head out of the city again and do some proper photography. But until then, take a scroll through these and let me know what you think.
Equipment used:
Canon 6D
Tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens (for startrails)
Rokinon 24m f1.4 lens (for milky way photos)
Lightroom CC for edits
