Mackie The Staggie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 First day out this year with the camera. It was cold, wet, dark and genuinely a horrible day to be outside......so why did I enjoy it so much? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you get the same effect pointing anywhere? I get that the Earth or even the Sun isn't the centre of the Universe anymore, but it's a bit disconcerting if just about anywhere else is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polestar hardly moves in the sky. Point it in another direction and you'll get various arcs etc. You'll get impressive result in any direction but I was aiming for this particular shot. It was also 500+ images which need stitching together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I've got a similar photo framed on the wall in the house- it was taken by my old man's pal. No stitching together 500 images though, this was pre-digital days and good old 35 mil film meant you just set the tripod up, aimed the camera at a fixed point (in this case a church spire) and left the shutter open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a common approach in the digital era. The main issue being if something goes wrong i.e. gust of wind, car headlights, knocking against tri-pod etc then the image is ruined. Bearing in mind the shutter is open for quite a long time (hours). By stacking you can delete any bad images. You also have satellites and planes to deal with. I had to edit (remove) 5 planes from that image. Up in Skye next month so hoping to attempt a similar shot at Neist point if the sky is clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just phone snaps but my son was piping at the Beacon lighting in Irvine tonight and what an evening it was, totally stunning and I'm sure my very amateur photography doesn't do it proper justice but you get the general idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
