Itโs pretty insane just how much data you can pull out of an unmodified #canon5dmarkiv sensor shooting #astrophotography. The fact I was balanced on a very slippery rock with my tripod in waist deep water at 3am with my tracking mount after driving 8 hours to shoot this feels like it deserves some credit.
#photography folks, whatโs the dumbest setup youโve used for the shot?
Attached: 1 image @[email protected] @[email protected] I'm wok, and I've been reworking the knife after I found a couple of cracks and tried to patch them with resin, only for the uv lamp to fall on it. Smothered it in wood filler and basically started again. Also been playing with the sky watcher. #makersHour
@benalldridge @bespacific OK now I want to see the front-facing cameraโs image haha
The story of how the magic trick is performed is just as impressive as the magic itself
@benalldridge That is an absolutely amazing shot. One of my photography goals is to take a good photo of the milky way. I've come close, but none of them pop quite like your photo here. Amazing!
Did you need any post processing?
@benalldridge Wonderful photo. Bravo!
Worth all the effort it took to capture.
@benalldridge got one of my favourite lightning photos by propping my camera on a handrail support and kinda tying the camera to the handrail with the strap

Attached: 4 images Tomorrow I'll send away my #Canon EOS R and #Fujifilm X-E4 in exchange for a new (used) Canon EOS R5. It feels weird. My EOS R has been my inseparable companion for over 5 years now, but I was feeling some of the limitations of the R body. I loved the SOOC photos from my Fuji (hated the AF, though) but I haven't used it much lately. I'll add some photos that were important for me during these years. Check the alt-text. #photography #concert #music #lightning #documentary #surreal #nature
@benalldridge Binoculars into a no-lens SLR camera, held together with hope.
Maybe it didn't work, I can't remember. I was going for very high zoom, and I think I ended up using a 200mm lens also, for a ridiculous telephoto zoom, with the binoculars as a light bucket.
Resolution at the centre was tack-sharp, but fell off uselessly within 60% of the frame.
I was experimenting with photographing distant landscape features, and succeeded in capturing distant landmarks from viewpoints.
@benalldridge is this the full res image?
Its gorgeous.
@benalldridge I *can* say that I've lain on cold, hard stone tiles on my back with fellow tourists passing by giving me weird looks as I try to get the entire cathedral in one shot. But like, who hasn't? ๐
My real reason for commenting though is that I love photos like yours that remind me of just how big the galaxy is (let alone the universe). So, so many stars we never see because of our own artificial light. So much more out there than we can possibly imagine.
