Hello Everyone, I realise similar questions have been asked on this. However I'm curious whether it make any difference to the type of camera I'm using, and what advice people have to give.
After significant research, and deciding, I really am keen to do night photography. I love the stars, and would love to capture my memories of them.
Currently I have a Nikon D90 with a standard 15-70mm lens and a tri-pod. This is about as far as my equipment stretches.
I understand the concept of exposure and shutter speed and what should be require and experimented with to get the good picture. My question is more directed toward post processing and what software is recommended for this process.
The environment I live around is very light polluted. My first step will be finding locations, etc.
Another question I have is, with that kind of lens, is it possible to capture the beauty of the stars with enough patience? I realise I cannot capture nebula and things like that without a really hi-tech zoom lens or astrophotography lens, but I was hoping to at least capture some beauty from the stars.
