It’s 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, what’s the dumbest setup you’ve used for the shot?

@benalldridge Okay, I was wondering where it was taken, but I just had a look at your profile and it makes sense. You sure live in a beautiful place and amazing for photography, but you make the best of it. Thanks for sharing!

@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?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from quixoticgeek@v.st
@quixoticgeek this answer isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. The answer is yes this takes a lot of work, but not the ways you’d think. Out of the camera it was about 90% of the way there, what I do in Photoshop is mostly just refinement 😊

@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

@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 are you willing to reveal how you captured the foreground without motion blur while using a tracking mount?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lydiafacts@chaos.social
@lydiafacts a single frame before I turned the tracker on 😊 I’ve since learned better ways, but it worked alright for the purpose.

@benalldridge by far the dumbest setup would be the time I climbed out onto a small logjam to shoot upstream in Grand Teton NP. Not only was it precarious, but one log shifting… bye bye me.
