RE: "Zion" | This is Zion's entire main valley (about 190 degrees of it) with the Milky Way stretching across the sky...
Congratulations! Hard work paid off!.
Did you also use ISO8000 for the milky way?
Also how to get the color depth from the milky way without burning the stars?.
I've tried it and then when I edit, the stars get just too bright, i can never get those color shades and details on the night sky shots :)
Keep it up!!!
Cheers!
Oh yeah, so it was ISO 8000 for the milky way and something like ISO 500 for the foreground. Color depth is sort of several different factors, atmospherics (light pollution, air glow, and the colors of the galaxies and stars themselves). Definitely have to balance the ISO with the shutter speed/aperture. At 14mm you can expose for up to 25 seconds without stars starting to blur, I have found that something a bit shorter than that, like 20 or 15 seconds with a higher ISO seems to bring out the colors possible without the use of something like an elaborate stablization/star tracking system. Then I spend a lot of time in post enhancing the raw image file, usually color is already there those and its more about balancing exposure.
Thanks a lot for the elaborate answer. Definitively I learnt something new!. And thanks for following. I'm following as well. Cheers!!!
