Are you oldie and goodie... just oldie... just goodie

Killer set Conrad as always. Chameleon and the Aplomado Falcon are the standouts for me.
Hope you're able to get out shooting again soon.

Kirk

[Edit] My bad... your Milky Way shots are really cool, and the Lighthouse image is fantastic.

Nice looking set as usual Conrad..will look forward to seeing some of your Milky Way shots in the future...did a few of those myself this summer...still not sure on the processing of them. Love that abandoned shack shot...what can I say the rest are just Tantastic






Thank you Scott! The processing is a multi-step, multi-layer process including a ton of dodging and burning and enhancing what's there. There are a ton of tutorials on how to do it, I learned from trial and error myself. Tons of fun!

Excellent set Conrad. How do you get those milky way shots?

George




George all you need is a camera that can handle high ISOs for 15-30 seconds. From there you need a wide lens, f2.8 or greater is preferable. Then you have to find the milky way by using any one of the numerous dark sky locator apps for your smartphone. Then make sure there is ZERO light pollution. I mean no lights whatsoever anywhere. The rest is working the RAW file into an image that looks like these. Mostly adjustment of clarity, dodging and burning.

The settings are below:

Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 15 seconds
ISO Speed Ratings = 1600
Aperture = ƒ/2.8
Exposure Bias (EV) = 0
Metering Mode = pattern / multi-segment
Focal Length = 16 mm

The usual excellent images Conrad. The late night work is wonderful, but makes me think you have too much pressure in your life and cannot sleep.






I do have far too much pressure in my life lately

Conrad as usual these photos are insanely gooooooood its obvious being so busy at work has not dulled your photographic brain, your skill with the cameras and the magic you create in PS & post here. You are an inspiration.
