Wideangle composite of eclipse

[Garyh]

Been enjoying all the wonderful images of the eclipse so far!!
Still havn`t got around to playing with most of them but did manage to do this widefield composite.
Single exposures were done every 10 min till the moon left the frame with speeds from 1/600 to 8 seconds. Foreground was 1/4 sec while the moon was rising behind the trees. Shot with my wifes canon S3 is digital camera. Frames were then layered in PS with a little contrast and color balance..and noise reduction..focal length = 36mm with 35mm film.
cheers Gary...

Great shot. In some ways better than a single orange ball. You get a much better feel for the time that the eclipse takes

WOW that's a cool shot

[Garyh]

Thanks everyone for the comments....
I was suprised how well it all lined up in PS. Just needed a few tweeks with one or two images to get them in line with the rest.
Unavoidable having to touch the camera everytime to focus, etc..

Hey Tony, You should post a few of your images!..::.cheers

Oh wow, that's such a cool shot, I love it Gary !
Excellent work.
I love how you also got the star track in there too !

What blend mode did you use for your layers?

[Garyh]

Thanks Ric and Andrew!!
With the layers they were set to lighten before flattening image.
cheers Gary
