Re: Astrophotography

Tripping to the Grand Canyon today for a good view of tomorrow night's annular sunset eclipse. Anyone have tips for getting not-awful pictures?

Nice pictures though! Love the second one.

Re: Astrophotography

That makes me want to rush out and shoot a film these could be posters for!

Re: Astrophotography

Re: Astrophotography

A tripod and a camera (Canon EOS 60D). tongue

For the first two pictures, I used the Ultra Wide Angle lens I bought recently, a Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 lens. It's amazing.

Re: Astrophotography

I was thinking along the lines of like f-stop, shutter speed, nd filters etc...but thanks....I guess.

Re: Astrophotography

You never know. Anyway: 30s, f/2.8, 1600 ISO. No filters.

Re: Astrophotography

ISO 1600 and that little noise? D'ya happen to have the 60Da?
Once I get some new glass for my 5D MkII, I might get on with this kind of stuff too, haven't done it in awhile.

And also, those images are amazing.

Re: Astrophotography

Thank you Tom. smile No, I don't have the 60Da (and quite frankly I believe it to be a big rip off which will only sell with people who don't know much about astrophotography).

The 60D is actually quite good at managing noise, but post-processing also helped a lot.
