Thanks! This was on a D7200 with the Nikon 16-80 f/2.8-4. Shot at 16mm 2.8/20 seconds/iso 2000. I took 5 of the same exposure which I plan to stack in Sequator to reduce noise for the final edit.recapt wrote:Great pic!

Re: Post a great picture
I appreciate the kind words. It was actually a surprisingly easy shoot, it was all about the planning. I did a ton of online research ahead of time to find out when I’d have the most favorable conditions and spent the day scouting locations which made all the difference when I came back at night.watchpalooza wrote:DUDE.

Very well done! I know that this type of photography is time consuming, but feel free to keep 'em coming.mrb12186 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:11 am I’ve always wanted to try astrophotography so with a new moon and some PTO to burn I figured I’d get out of town and give it a shot.

I did the exact same thing to capture Neowise back in July (a few pics posted above). I was amazed at the results I got as a total n00b to astrophotography with a bit of research and planning. I’d definitely like to do more of it.mrb12186 wrote:It was actually a surprisingly easy shoot, it was all about the planning.

And for the record, my shots don’t compare to yours. Amazing.

Not my pic... obviously. Cosmonaut took this from ISS of the Soyuz launch. Pretty cool.

Nearing the end of my southern Utah sightseeing tour. This was today’s sunrise at “The Windows” in Arches National Park

Arches NP at sunset is pretty nice too.
I did a two-week tour of Utah last summer, hitting Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands, plus a couple days in SLC. I went canyoneering near Arches on my 40th birthday. It was all awe-inspiring. I would love a vacation home in Moab.

We installed these cool mirrors in our bathroom that have an LED strip around the edge. I noticed last night they make a rectangular reflection in my eyes. So I took a creepy Halloween season pic:
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I get to go on crazy bucket list hikes all the time now. I’ll stop in and post some pics.
This is a hike in Arches National Park. An hour from my house.
Here’s a shot from the West Elk Loop scenic highway just upstream of Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
Here’s the largest cliff wall in North America in Black Canyon.
La Sal Mountains outside Moab
This is Colorado National Monument on the edge of town.

Re: Post a great picture
Does anyone remember this? I see it floating around forums and the internet, but I made it on my phone during a very boring meeting. This was right after the new Pelagos came out and the fanboys were up in arms over the dial text. I just found it scrolling old photos on my phone. I still get a laugh.
Re: Post a great picture
What better way to social distance than taking pictures on an empty beach? Unfortunately the sunset was mostly obscured by clouds but enough color peeked through to pull of a decent shot.
