- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I tried a different way of doing these kind of photos. This time I took 4 photos all close to the same exposure to get rid of the cruddy noise my 300d's sensor was kicking out on exposures over 30 minutes. I then overlayed them in PS and tweaked the levels to bring out the contrast. Not all that happy with the small gaps in the trails from different exposures when I was slow on one of them and the coloring is off on the trials as well. Thats more of a post processing error then the cameras fault. Better luck next time around. Shot with a tokina 12-24 at the wide end on a 300d body. I ended up cropping a lot of the bottom since I didn't have the camera aimed where I wanted.....Next time i'll bring a stronger flashlight. I just got a new 20d two weeks ago and i'm heading up north again next weekend to do some star trails with the better camera.
I think the exif is something like
Focal length: 12.0mm
Exposure time: 3375
Aperture: f/4.0
ISO equiv.: 100
This one is from awhile ago. Just your standard northstar rotation.
Focal length: 28.0mm
Exposure time: 746.000 s
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO equiv.: 100
