Myself and my mate Dennis shooting the milky way at lake Ellesmere after a workshop

Usually I'm beat after spending several hours teaching, not normally a people person but I love doing this stuff.. Still kills me..

But couldnt resist shooting this and getting Dennis in the frame on the right

@Rjdlandscapes I was going to ask about exposure length etc. Thanks for providing it. Must have taken a while get that shot.
Show threadRJDDec 22, 2022
@alexproe yeah it's 20-30 min overall for an average pano if nothing funky is going on
Show threadAlex P Roe - OLD ACCOUNTDec 22, 2022
@Rjdlandscapes The time spent getting that capture was worth it IMHO. Fabulous image! I'd have to get well out of the city to see such a sky.
Show threadRJDDec 22, 2022
@alexproe yeah this was about an hour out of Christchurch even so lots of light pollution
Show threadAlex P Roe - OLD ACCOUNTDec 22, 2022
@Rjdlandscapes I might be able to escape the light pollution an hour or so outside Milan...by heading north into the mountains, probably. Have seen amazing skies inland from the Liguria coast. So many stars! Didn't have the gear (or ability) to capture them though. NZ may be darker than Italy!

@Rjdlandscapes what's that thing reflecting on the left?

@apodoxus just a star, bit of movement on the water etc makes the reflections look like that

Show threadstevehelfandDec 21, 2022
@Rjdlandscapes I'm curious about how you made it: merged a long exposure night shot with a day shot. The foreground lighting is too even to have been done by fill flash... Please comment
--Steve
Show threadRJDDec 21, 2022
@stevehelfand no fill light , no double exposure etc just natural light on the foreground , a little moon a little light pollution
Show threadstevehelfandDec 21, 2022
@Rjdlandscapes the other photographer seems so clear. Did he just not move for the length of the exposure?
Show threadRJDDec 21, 2022
@stevehelfand He's stood pretty still but is a little blurry at 100%
