Tutorial: Photographing Star Trails (Long Exposure + Multiple Exposure) Star Trails These are a great challenge, and the best part is, you don't know exactly what the photograph will look like until after you've taken it. In order to take star trail shots you need three essential things: A DSLR with a BULB mode, a tripod, and a rubber band and eraser. There are other methods to taking star trails too which require more tools, but if you have those three things than you can get away with taking a fine photo. 360, 30 sec exposures combined. (3 hours exposure in total). Nikon d70s was used with power cord. Star trails are really fun. You will need a tripod and a device that can take exposures one after the other. There are different tools we can use when taking star trails: 1) Use an Intervalometer (ultimately this is the best way, especially if your camera has one already built in) 2) Use a remote 3) Use a cable release (best way if you are using film) 4) Use a rubber band and eraser (cheapest, quickest way) 5) Use Camera controlling software on your laptop.

Tutorial - Come realizzare uno Startrail - la guida definitiva ‹ EsaPhoto.it by Emanuele Follesa - Fotografia Naturalistica - Fotografia sportiva - Fotografia notturna - Startrail - Portrait - Ritrattistica - Fotoamatore tra le province di Varese, Novara, Il tutorial che segue è dedicato a tutte quelle persone che vogliono cimentarsi nella tecnica fotografica denominata Startrail (il termine tradotto in italiano starebbe per “scia di stelle”). Potete trovare esempi di questa tecnica nella sezione Night Photography del mio sito. Innanzi tutto, prima di cimentarci in uno Startrail, ci sono alcuni fattori da prendere in considerazione: Il cielo deve essere privo di nubi/nebbia o altri fenomeni; consultate più siti web a riguardo.Bisogna tenere a mente l’inquinamento luminoso della zona in cui andremo ad eseguire i nostri scatti. Più ci si allontana dalle città o si sale di quota, più si otterranno risultati soddisfacenti, ecco perché molti si “rifugiano” in alta montagna o dentro vallate buie, lontani dal caos e dalle luci delle città.La fase lunare in atto quel particolare giorno. Ora passiamo ad elencare tutto quel materiale non-fotografico che sarebbe utile avere con sé: Una volta avviato il programma vi apparirà l’interfaccia sottostante:
Metric Scores DxOMark provides five lens metric scores that are numerical values computed from various test results. These values constitute an easy-to-understand summary of lens performance based on five key metrics (sharpness, distortion, vignetting, transmission, chromatic aberration). Sharpness The DxOMark resolution score shows sharpness performance of a lens-camera combination averaged over its entire focal length and aperture ranges. The resolution score is computed as follows: For each focal length and each f-number, we first compute sharpness and then weight it throughout the field, tolerating less sharpness in the corners than in the center. Note that for a wide-range zoom, there are huge differences between the resolutions for different focal lengths. Sharpness is expressed in PMpix and is typically between 50% and 100% of the sensor pixel count, Differences below 1 P-MPix are usually not noticeable. Distortion Vignetting For each focal length, we only consider the widest possible aperture.
Photographing Star Trails Introduction Photographing the night sky is extremely rewarding because you often get views of things that your own eyes either can't see, or you don't think to look for them. When seeing photos of stars, star trails, or other night images, people are often surprised by the unreal—or surreal—colors. Because our everyday world doesn't have a lot of things that are heavily weighted towards these things, most everyday pictures that we take appear much like we see them in real life. When photographing stars, you can either get a star "field," a static snapshot of the stars as points of light, or star "trails," where the stars' movements streak across the sky. The above photos were taken at King's Canyon National Park in California, with a setting of 30 seconds at f2.8, using an ISO of 3200. A time-lapse movie can capture the sky moving as a series of photos, but capturing this movement in a single picture is called a "star trails" photo. More to See Click to recommend this page:

Long exposure photography has long been one of our most popular topics which is not surprising when you look at how stunning these images all are. When a Long exposure image is taken including stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dash-board and moving scenery) using a slow shutter speed, interesting effects, such as light trails occur. Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in brighter light using neutral density filters or specially designed cameras.
