David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Startrails Looking North. The moon was out, lighting up the chimney and Sycamore trees. Composite of 60 images taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 10.5 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens (ISO 100, 10.5 mm, f/4, 120 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro with the composite processed using Phototshop CC Statistics/Maximum.
Waxing Gibbous Moon. A single image and composites of 7, 10, 12, and 20 images. Images taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 200, 600 mm, f/11, 1/250 sec) every 40 seconds. Each composite uses the images needed.
Star, Moon, and Jet trails. Looking south from my backdoor. Images taken with a Nikon D810a camera and 16 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens (ISO 200, 16 mm, f/4, 120 sec). Images processed with Capture One Pro, composite created using Photoshop CC (statistics, maximum). Converted to B&W with NIK Silver Efex II.
Star Trails (and a few Jet Trails) Looking North. Backyard Summer Nature. Composite of 70 images taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 10.5 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens (ISO 100, 10.5 mm, f/4, 120 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro, and composite generated using Photoshop CC (scripts, statistics, maximum).
Waning Gibbous Moon. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera FT1 adapter, 500 mm f/4 VR lens, and 2.0 TC-E adapter (ISO 160, 1000 mm, f/8, 1/250 sec). The field of view for this setup is equivalent to 2700 mm on a 35 mm/full frame camera. The other neat thing about this setup is there is no mirror or shutter vibration. The Nikon 1 series of cameras are mirrorless, and have an electronic shutter option. I could barely get all of the moon in the frame.
