Pushing the D100 to its limits: Milky Way

Raj_55555 · May 27, 2015

I am just back from a long trek in Dayara Bugyal, and the himalayan views were beyond words. I'll post some once I'm done editing them all, but this one I wanted to post first.

I had a very clear view of the Milky Way, and attempted a shot using the D100 & the sigma 28-70. I think it came off pretty well considering the limitations.

And one of my campsite photographs:

I took 30 seconds exposures, and joined them in post at ISO 1000. Any suggestions on improvements are welcome.

NICE work!

They turned out nice.
Those that only recommend the latest and greatest DSLR should pay attention here.
Because older DSLRs can still do the job if the photographer understands the the older DSLRs limitations.

The campsite photo is pretty good. Love that red tent color, and the good exposure on the camping gear just outside the door.

Nice. I knew that equipment would see good use.

Thanks Derrel, it's really satisfying for me because I pictured it exactly this way, the red tent on the foreground and the lightning at the back. It turned out exactly as I pictured it in my mind
