dodgsun Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Peta, K10-100 cameras, as most, only go 30secs.....you need to buy a corded remote..($10 off eblah) that way on 'Bulb' you lock the lens open...*just ,make sure you have full batteries* also make sure you set for white balance...ie fluro and sulpher lights change the overall colour in the pic!! recent night shots.... oh..got some great shots there Xmetal!!!!!! oh oh...Siddr - sthrn polaris is 32degress above dead south!! (and the stars that look like continuous dots is either clouds moving fast and covering the stars OR if its windy, could be slight camera shake.)

siddr20 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Very nice photos dogsum esp the stair trails. Quick question: What lens did you use? Here is my 2nd attempt at it Much better attempt than my first one i must say!! Todays attempt was just to get the settings right etc. Not many bright stars out tonight.. But thought i give it a try before the clouds kicked in!! No editing, just resized and sharpened.

dodgsun Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 nice one sid - but you should have something in the foreground to focus on, the stars will always look the same, but you need something in the foreground also...even if its just your house or a tree (use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!!) like this (from my backyard one boring night) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/238664-october-2008-photo-thread/page/3/#findComment-4190534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddr20 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) The reason i didnt focus on the house last night was because there were no stairs over the top of it. Also it was a little windy last night so the trees were moving.. so i thought it would be all blury if i was focusing on the tree?? right?? But last night was just a test.. cool cheers will try it again!! btw I like your shot!! Also i didnt understand this bit: use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!! Btw what lens are you using?

LatinR33 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Awesome photos. Just bought myself a Nikon D90 as I have always wanted to enter the world of DSLR got bored of the stock digicams. Cant wait till I get to the same level of quality you guys are at. I have the kit lens 18-55mm so that should keep me busy for a while. Will be buying a fast prime lens today so that should keep me even busier.

siddr20 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Dont you hate it when the clouds come So glad i went to check up on it outside, otherwise would have wasted my effort. It was perfect clear skies and then 10mins later BAM clouds come out of know where lol No editing.. straight out of the camera Also do note this was the only direction i could see stars lol.. behind me was the moon with nothing around it.. I split it up into two pics..

Xmetal Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Star trails are always such a cool thing to do however for those of you living in the city it can be difficult as you've got lots of ambient light given off from the surrounding buildings and other crap. Best bet would be to pick a good clear night and make a trip out towards Lithgow and shoot in the mountains. I've done star trails before with good results - the trick is finding the celestial south pole and aiming from there. This was shot at my farm up near Scone.
