Never mind his website, Cornish Tourism Board should give the photographer a weeks pass and use the photo (Of course he can spend the pass at Rimfire6969's place which incidentally is excellent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Shutter speed no longer than 15 sec, used to love going up to carn brea on a clear night in summer and seeing so many stars. If you let me stay cheap I would love to do some light painting on a campsite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 That's half the reason I spend so much time with my head stuck out the hatch of my Landy. Supposed to be foxing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Great photo for this time of year! Could you offer him/her a free couple of days stay in exchange for use on your website? Already sorted, he has given me a high resolution copy, what ever that is which I will forward to my web man. That is a great pic, wander how long the shutter was open for. Speaking to him today the shutter was open for about 25 seconds, but he was also using some yoke sort of thing that moves the camera at the same speed as the earths rotation so the stars don't blurr. At least I think that's what he said, something moved the camera at the same speed as something else. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have been a sky shooter to get a pic like that without star blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 It's great what a longer exposure can bring out Really need a programable remote for mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks for that. I thought he would have been a sky shooter to get a pic like that without star blur You'd be surprised at what you can get with short (sub 10 second) exposures with a decent sensor. If your camera has low noise at 2500 iso then a good clear winters night (and no light pollution) will get you an amazing shot with foreground and no star movement.
