Thank you! yeah, Photoshop can do wonders to get rid of that noise..
It's crazy to see these areas where you can actually see the stars at night, in the city I live i have never seen a single star at night time.

thanks m8!
>>2701780
oh man that was a total bitch, pic related was the RAW that came straight from the GR, you can see how i had to differentiate all the other different colors, like me, the street, the fence, to do this, i would select these objects and HEAVILY and painstakingly use selective color and color balance to make every unique thing pop out
>>2701870
I live in Glenrock, Wyoming. No, all the stars you see are legit
>>2701878
its what i use my GR with the most, it stays (mostly) clean under 400 ISO, so i just gotta sit and let it take 2 minute photos at 100 to make creamy smooth images
>>2701915
that was one of the big problems with these pics, i didnt add a single bit of sharpening to any of them, and its a bitch to see how edgy they get when you scale down, thanks for the tip
>>2702041
and yeah, this totally, Glenrock, Wyoming is a tiny town of maybe 2600 people, so stars and galaxies are all i see every night

How do you go about getting the foreground in focus? I've tried some similar ones and never quite get it right as I have to do manual focus
>>2702005
did you do any noise reduction? Such a high iso
>>2702428
I used a head lamp and manual focus to focus on my friend in the pic, was lucky that the stars came in focus too, not sure if it would usually work that way.
>>2702481
Yes, quite a bit of different things in PS. I couldn't tell you exactly what I did as I don't even really know myself. This was one of my first attempts at astro and editing so I used some videos to help me. Mostly this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i22duUtI5Iw
and a little from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOAmP7A_x6c

You know you can expose for more than 2 seconds and get that result you dirty nig nog
was thinking of trying this, what settings do you have it on?
>>2704158
for my Ricoh i have it on f2.8, at ISO 100, and shutter speed for 25 seconds (thats my lens limit before star trails appear) and a tripod
go somewhere dark, but with street/night lights nearby
>>2704169
is having something in the foreground recommended, or does it still turn out well just showing the sky
>>2704171
Depends what you want. Keep in mind that without a foreground you're basically just documenting.
>>2704172
took a few photos before just to give it a try
I need to get a tripod, kinda had a makeshift one though. will upload a few pictures tomorrow, they're not great but hopefully you can give me a few tips. :)

At least pick a pose or something... "Look I'm standing there" may be great for people looking for proof that you did a thing, but as a photography, you want it to be a good photo. You're interacting with some very cool environments that most people (and even most photographers/models) never will, so put in a bit of thought and creativity and take some actual photos up there, if you're actually trying for photography.
night colors are a tricy thing for sure, especially the times you want to simulate the natural scotopic/Purkinje effect

I tried to adjust this so it looks the way it did to my eye when I was there. As a result, the colors aren't accurate here, they're simulating scotopic vision because it was so much more beautiful to my rods than the camera respresented.

The Ricoh GR supports DNG raw files, and they are INSANELY flexible, hell when i pulled those stars out i didnt know they would be that prolific
that and it also helps to have a good, clear night sky with good weather
i live in rural Wyoming, so every night is a bursting galaxy above my head

Arvada fag here, shame the foreground isnt really exposed or this would be fucking flawless m8
>>2705036
Unfortunately with an OMD EM5 when you do long enough exposures to get the foreground like that you get hot pixels and shitdick load of noise. It's honestly kind of a serious bummer, I'm shopping for a new cam.
>>2705039
for real? even at 100-200 iso? at like 1 minute exposure? that is a fucking bummer
>>2705041
long exposures lead to a hot sensor, which leads to hot pixels and noise.
>>2705041
ISO 200 is the minimum, and I get hot pixels like a mad bitch. It's just not cut out for super long shots like that. I brought up the foreground a bit for you, but it's too noisy to do anything rad with.

not him but focusing to ∞ doesn't work with stars for some reason, they actually requires a little finesse.
Also, I see your exposure was 20secs, depending on your focal length, anything over 10-15 seconds could result in visible star trailing
>>2705056
I'll try again tonight, what do you suggest? Try and Autofocus on the sky?
>>2705060
>max is about 25 seconds
apparently there's a formula where you can figger it out based on your focal length. when i shoot 18mm (crop sensor) 10sex seems to work but by 15-20 i gets a little bleary

>Try and Autofocus on the sky
good luck with that, one of it's downfalls is how shit its low light focusing is
maybe you are doing something wrong?
pic related is how i set up my snap focusing and manual focusing
i think your problem is that you have it on inifinite focusing, but you dont have snap focus set to make sure it is locked to that

I love shooting at night. It's so much more peaceful that shooting in the day with a bunch of people around
I know the stars are out of focus, but this is probably my favorite shot so far.

Went out this weekend to get some more. This is one of the better ones I came up with. caught the very end of the milky way
And another looking the opposite direction
First time doing a long exposure no tripod so had to put my camera on a table and prop it up with books. Can someone critique my post? Im new to lightroom.
Sorry for filesize posting from phone.

You know for every first time doing this on a pile of nooks this aint bad. Just work on your drab colors and look for more ideal places to take photos
>>2705854
it's much better than most "first time' attempts at this. Good job anon. Keep at it!
>>2705861

>>2702186

>>2706063

>>2705854

tripod or table
10 - 30 second exposure
biggest aperture you can (the smallest number)
ISO 1600 - 3200
Be somewhere dark. Anywhere near a city is pretty much no.
>>2706186
>loading
Nice sky colours, cool.
>N.Wales
Expecting some nice landscape at the bottom silhouetted against sky.
>caravans
wtf.
Also, if you'd angled slightly to the left you'd have missed out that enormous sodium orange hotspot.
>>2706232
>caravans
That's what's so funny about it. There's a great shot pointing in the other direction but there's no milky way.
I couldn't go far because it was me and my child staying in one of those caravans.
>>2705352
well dayum.
>>2705854
tried this one today
put it on top of my car
