Great shot again, Criss. 👍

I've been thinking doing a bit of astrophotography, too. Any suggestions you'd care to offer?

 

[V8Loverrr]

Thanks TB!
Well ..:
-Use the lowest Aperture possible
-ISO about 1600-3200 (if you camera allows you)
-Tripod!
-Shutter release to avoid that the camera shackes when you hit the release button
-Devide the number 400 with your focal lenght, to see what max. exposure you can use before the stars start to do trails. (For example a lense with a focal length of 10mm, 400 devided by 10, means you can use an exposure of 40 seconds)

If you have any more question, ask

 

[TB]

Use the lowest Aperture possible

Which do you think is more important - a wider shot (18mm) but at the expense of aperture (f/3.5) or a tighter shot (50mm) and more light gathering (f/1.8)?

-ISO about 1600-3200 (if you camera allows you)
-Tripod!
-Shutter release to avoid that the camera shackes when you hit the release button

Check, check and check.

This will be answered a bit by your opinion on the lens to use but going with my 18-55 at 18mm, that's a 22 second exposure and using my 50 it's an 8 second. Seems like it should be longer than that, but I suppose you want them to move as little as possible.

Thanks for the tips!

 

[Ibonibo]

Thanks also for the tips. Need also to try that out.

Really great shots 👍

You are welcome!
Well, i'd go for a even wider lense if you prefer landscapes, I use my 10mm Fisheye most of the time. 50mm is nice for portraits.. Wide lenses are always best for landscape/sky photos:tup:

Thanks S3 Racer!

Great shot as usual... We have a lot of those windmills in Holland too I have a slightly n00b question here... Does crop factor play a role in these calculations at all? Or is it just the focal length of the lens (not taking into account crop factor) which you use to divide 400 by?

 

[V8Loverrr]

Thanks guys!

Well yes, for most cameras it is the number 400, for cameras like the 1D without the crop factor it is the number 600, since I guess most of you guys got cameras with crop sensor

Thanks guys!

Ah thanks for the clarification... You already accounted for crop factor in your advice. 👍 Nice one... Will keep this in mind to try it out one time
