The Light War

[ourkind]

Man made town lights and naturally occurring green airglow compete to outshine each other. Meanwhile the Milky Way undeterred leisurely rolls across the night sky.

Thanks for looking :)

Hi Carlos

Wonderfull image also looked over you website very impressive.
Can you tell me a little about the type of lens used here and exposure time. Id like to have a go myself.

[ourkind]

Thanks David! Yes I read your thread on your current lighting issues :mad2: A black can of spray paint and a long long stick might fix it :)



Cheers Bob :)



:lol: Thanks Greg! If I'd played with the framing some more I may have been able to give the Emu some legs :question: it's close.



Thank you very much Marios :)

I'm using a Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 prime lens @ 25 second exposures and 4000 ISO. This particular image is made up of 6 panels and stitched together. I haven't written up a 'how to' yet but as I guide I'd recommend checking out (Iceman) Mike Salways blog (http://www.mikesalway.com.au/tag/nightscape-photography-101/), he has thoughtfully deconstructed the process step by step and I have found it very helpful :thumbsup:
