Night sky photography

in #photofeed6 years ago

As i got great comments from my Perseid post, and you people love star photos, i decided to share some of my night sky photos. I don't do a lot of sky photography this are some of my favourite photos and also some kind of retrospective from latest to the oldest.

Taken in 2017. Friend got a new lens Tokina 11-16mm and wanted to out to test it for astrophotography, so we went out few km from our town to make some photos and chill with few beers. This photo is taken with Canon 80d and Sigma 18-35.

Taken in 2016 trying to catch some meteors from Perseid. Didn't got a lot but i got an alien in it :D

2015 also Perseid catching. The shot was not planned, i remembered that i have an umbrella in the car and the light is a pen with led light on the end of it. It is taken at the same place as the photo above. You can see that the tree on the right of the upper photo is the tree on the left on this photo :D
Canon 600D and 18-55mm kit lens. You can see that those 2 stops of light (1.8 on Sigma vs 3.5 on kit lens) means a lot on 600D as this photo has a lot more grain.

2015, just some fun at the park.

2011, my first attempt on photographing the stars, taken with Canon PowerShot A590 compact camera, hacked with CHDK to override the factory settings and got some more ISO and exposure time. not that smart idea :D

Nice work Bil! That first shot is sweet. Resteemed!

They are all wonderful, but my favorite is the umbrella photo!

it was for a long time my favorite photo of all my photography. thanks

Wow, wow, wow! I love night photography but am not very good at it. Your photos are something else! Resteemed!

thanks. if you have a wide lens, with a decent f-stop, you just need to find an interesting place with no lights :D

Yes, I know. But going out in a quiet place with no light alone is kind of dangerous. I just practice in my backyard. :-)

with company is much better, especially for star trails, as it could last for hours :)

these are some amazing photos. especially the alien! 😆

funny thing is, that i had no idea and seen it just when i got home and looked at the photos :D

lol yes sometimes the coolest things go unnoticed!

Great pictures and very creative! I will follow and upvote you!

thanks. you have some nice wildlife portraits :)
