Guest skytree Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Welcome back to the board Skytree! It's been a minute.. Thanks man! Good to be back. Here's another couple recent photos to celebrate I suppose (not exactly mugshots but what the heck). This is what I've been doing since I've been gone and one of the reasons I wasn't able to maintain much of a presence here, but I do owe a lot of the inspiration to hangin out with you guys here back in the day: Been a blast but taking a break from the road for a while until I build a new kinda live setup. Look forward to stayin in touch for a good fortnight or three! Hope you're doin well man. (: Edited November 3, 2014 by skytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skytree Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 what's that green line coming down there? High-powered laser for spotting/targeting. (: Quite handy for astronomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadameChaos Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hmmm I'm very tempted to a night photography course now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Set exposure for longer, open up the aperture , rest the camera on something stable like a blanket or park bench or buy a tripod. Get a camera/phone with a good sensor. That be 500 pounds thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skytree Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Let's not forget about light graffiti as well with some mega-long exposures and/or mucking about in After Effects & Photoshop. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadameChaos Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 i prefer to get effects in camera as much as possible. long exposure is especially fun. have had some great results with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skytree Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 i prefer to get effects in camera as much as possible. long exposure is especially fun. have had some great results with that. Indeed - just ran into that issue a bit with creating light graffiti in motion on a standard DSLR and had to resort to post-processing, though we figured it out eventually. Still def prefer a more direct/analog route where possible for sure. For stillframes shouldn't be much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a video we did with a dancer named David Elsewhere using the technique I mentioned earlier, esp. in the second nighttime half: Wouldn't mind getting another crack at something like this as there are lots of elements I would improve personally but overall happy with the effect.

Guest skytree Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ok well... Give me a few pointers. Lots and lots of painstaking layering and transparency, to make a long story short - took heaps of time to render! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you're still here! not my scope, wish it was. that's several thousand $$$ of scope when you add the auto-tracking and computerised aiming.
