p.1 #1 · Night Photography 101


Just published a pretty thorough article on Night photography from conceptualization, technique and post-processing, including pano and stacked star trails in Photoshop CS4.

http://www.availablelightimages.com/articles/technical-writing/night-light

Any C&C's of this first draft appreciated.

Cheers all,

Alister

Thanks for that.. It was quite a bit of work to get all this together, it is easy to forget how much we know until we try and write it all down..

Thanks, though I think our approaches are complementary. I wrote mine as a sort of quick primer for folks who just need the basics. There is, as you certainly know, a lot more to this than just the basics, though.

Dear ailbenn: Fine Work! But you owe yourself a copy of AutoPano Pro which is much, MUCH more powerful, fast and hassle free than typical stitching programs.

But in almost all cases the stitching in CS4 will work just fine - great, even.

Alister, I'm only about half way through the article, but it's great so far. Interesting information and it looks like you have answered a lot of questions I've had such as moon placement, lighting, and etc.
