Spot the Nebulae
Last night I mounted my K5ii with Sigma 50mm 2.8 Macro,on my EQ5. This was not counter balanced. It was also tracked but not guided. I set the camera to shoot 60 second subs at 1600iso and f2.8. This is 30 light subs, 10 darks and 15 bias calibration images. The lens had a 48mm SV Bony UHC light...

An afternoon out
Thank you all for your kind words! The first 3 are pretty much ractionary shots. Either perfect light or an interesting view... The last one.... that was pretty much a set piece image. I was driving and I saw all the light casting thru the trees. So out came the tripod and ND1000 filter. I was...

Playing again.
I like them both as well.... But... but maybe.... Being more aggressive with contrast and highlights on the B&W, may create a more striking image. Make it stand out more and draw your eyes from the grey sky. This where a graduated ND filter would've come in handy! :smile::smile:

The Moon....
Thank you guys for the kind comments. Amazing photos, what camera and lens combo did you use? It was a K3 mounted on an refractor telescope, 102mm aperture, 714mm focal length, this makes it f7. This was mounted on a tracking German Equitorial mount. Both images were shot with a neodynium moon fi...

RHS Bridgewater - the broader view
If you don't mind me asking.... did you use a polariser? Yes, almost always have a filter, if only to protect the lens with something that's cheaper to replace! This was a HOYA Pro1 circular polariser. Steve - I do agree with what you say. I always enjoy seeing your close-up garden photos. I thin...

The Clear skies...Nope!
I was joshing with you about the moon.... i know your not that daft!! :smile::smile::smile: But.... your best chances are still when there is a new moon. Even tho the moon is below the horizon, it is still throwing of a huge amount of light. As you know, wide angle lenses are light hoovers. With ...

Today's Brief Walk, Heybrooke Bay, Devon
Liked the first one more ! Don't you try long exposure with nd filter for such scenes ? Yes indeed, I had read in a forum recently the effect was achieved this way, so I thought I'd have play. Reading the camera manual again perhaps I should have used the ,bright, option in composite? :smile:

Today's Brief Walk, Heybrooke Bay, Devon
I have tried 'multiple exposures' for long exposure effect without nd filter. On my K5ll max limit is 9 exposures. For desired effect you need to shoot in low-light conditions, use a narrow aperture (high f-number), a slow shutter speed (as long as your camera allows), and set your ISO to the lowest...

Partial Solar Eclipse
I bought a solar filter film sheet ages ago and made my own 'filter' lens for my DA* 300. The image I got was pretty good!
