Nonek Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I envy you your lack of light pollution, at this time of year it's quite difficult to get a good view in England. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, though the ever increasing light pollution is even noticeable around here, 25 kilometers from the next city. 5 years ago I used to be able to see the milky way with my bare eyes no problem, now I can hardly spot it anymore and need to make pics with long shutter speeds to find it. Makes me sad. 2 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) This might sound stupid, but...when I was younger (about ten or so) and playing TES: Oblivion, I was always a bit miffed that you could often see the galaxy at night in game. For the longest time, I thought it was completely whack: never understood why in the world they would have such a patently unrealistic detail...just for the sake of having a pretty looking night sky? How silly! Took me many years to realize...yeah, it is actually possible to see the Milky Way in such a manner...I just haven't ever been anywhere even close to where it could happen, and there seems to be an ever-decreasing amount of places where it's possible.

Woldan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Because of this very reason I'm planning to fly to Iceland to make photos of the night sky and -hopefully- from the Aurora Borealis this winter. I'm thinking about a specific place in the highlands which is several hundred kilometers away from Reykjavik, and several thousand kilometers from the next big city. This should allow me to make spectacular photos which I couldn't shoot anywhere around here. Oh, and I'm especially thinking about making a photo from the Aurora Borealis reflecting on the ocean waves and...oh my I have so many ideas. 2 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Woldan Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) If you do it, be sure to bring back those photos for us. Sure thing! 90kg / 200lbs shoulder presses standing with no leg drive. I make vids and pics of my lifts to watch them later to identify potential posture issues and bad form. Extremely helpful.

Woldan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Tried my first couple of night shots with my new lens, despite having a really bright moon on the horizon the results are good for a start. Things should get much better once the moon is gone. I still have to learn a lot about post processing though. 4 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Things should get much better once the moon is gone. I still have to learn a lot about post processing though. I meant to say earlier that your night sky photos are very impressive, the sense of grandeur and panoramic effect reminds me just how insignificant we are in the great scheme of things "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woldan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Still experimenting with ISO settings, 4200 seems to be the sweet spot when using dark frame noise reduction.

Bartimaeus Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) So...not literally unearthly, I guess. (e): Hm...unless you considered cities to not be "of the earth": i.e. to be against nature. ...But that would still be metaphorically unearthly at best. Bah.
