RE: The Northern Lights // In Real Time and Time-lapsed + My Top Five Tips
Fantastic work @dimitri0610, of course https://steemit.com/@chaseburnett comes to mine! My only comment is that wide open many lenses perform dreadfully for astrophotography, but on a subject like capturing the subtle realtime movement of aurora it's really the best option.
Thank you! And yes of course, I shoot with him often. And you're very right, when it comes to astro, I'd rather go down a stop or so. But just as you said as well, when it comes to picking up that slight movement and form, you need as much light as possible. I'd personally take a bit of softness over the extra iso that would be required to make up for it. Plus, the aurora 90% of the time is a more fluid, creamier structure and you can't even tell if it is soft or not. There are definitely trade offs. Overall, the aurora is just a spectacular phenomenon!!
