My get pushed challenge from kali @kali66 - I wonder if you have ever tried to do any astrophotography, I have been having a lot of fun with it and I think you probably live in an ideal place to try it, as long as you get a fine night this week
Taken from my garden, testing out some camera settings. Planning to go out and try this again but weather might put a spanner in the works. There's some light cloud in this capture and we have overcast conditions forecast for the next few nights.
I'm from Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa. Tulbagh is a small farming community.
Get Pushed Challenge: I have been doing this challenge on and off...
@kali an experiment testing the camera settings for the astrophotography challenge. Not sure if I will get another chance to shoot stars as cloudy weather is forecast for the next few days.
Super to be able to see these stars so clearly! I see its around 10pm. I'll have to go outside and see if I can do this but we do have bright street lights which ruin the opportunity! fa
my problem when doing shots like this is i couldn't ascertain whether my camera has focused properly - my eyes are so bad in the dark! aces on this, my friend!
@maggiemae we have a streetlight right outside plus there are some exterior lights on neighbouring houses. Give it a go, one of the tutorials that I have watched says that if you can see stars with the naked eye you should be able to photograph them.
@summerfield Vikki, I just set the camera into full manual mode, turn off auto focus and set lens to infinity. I didn't even look through the view finder but just pointed the camera towards the sky and pressed the shutter.
spectacular! wonderful capture, great lighting, wonderful how the tree stand out
I really hope it rains and rains and rains. There will be more opportunity for you to do this again
I was on my way to a night photography workshop when the car was hit so I'm envious you figured out how to do this!! I will have to try it on my own- I do have a book and have looked at a few things on youtube. You did a great job here!
@kali66 I will definitely give it another go. I have some ideas but we have had cloud around almost the whole week! Even in this shot there's some cloud.
I really hope it rains and rains and rains. There will be more opportunity for you to do this again
