That's an epic shot David

Jealous??? 😁😁😁

I decided to test my new spare room studio using a special bottle!!

I like doing clouds as well!!

I was light painting them with my head torch to make them part of the image.

The stars are actually all different colours.... like you said red giants, red dwarf... etc

If you look closely at this image you can see several star colours

I feel sorry for you two.... mine doesnt live with me and works till 11pm'ish!!! So i can bugger off and do as i please...

I have had plenty of nosey farmers!!!! and others who say "what you doing?"... i have to stand on the urge to go in to a sargasm!!

It's a stack, it is similar to multiexposure but you're not limited to how many exposures you can do. On the K5 & K5 II, i am limited to 9. You then use either Photoshop or Lightroom. You take say, 30 plus exposures and then use either of the above (PS tends to be better at it) to stack all the images in to one image. If you look closely at the image you'll see that the stars are made up of small trails. Then once stacked they create the above effect.




The above image looks like multiexposure but it is in fact a stack.

Last night I decided to have a shot at doing a start swirl. Did not hit Polaris as there was cloud so tried something else.

Sigma 20mm EX, f1.7 at 100iso with 30sec exposure and was 30 exposures stacked. May try again tonight if the weather is clear.

Is that a dead pan selfie???
