Old Faithful under the Milky Way

Old Faithful under the Milky Way
On a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park we experimented with time lapse photos of the night sky. The combination that seemed to work best for me was locking down the camera on a sturdy tripod, using a shutter release cable or remote shutter release trigger, 11mm lens, ISO 6400, f/4, 30 second exposure, and long exposure compensation (a custom setting on Canon). If I had a f/2.8 lens that was wide enough I could have used ISO 3200. In post processing of the RAW file with Lightroom 4, I slid the color temperature toward the blue to get better color in the sky, lightened the shadows a bit, and applied a little noise reduction.

You have opened up a whole area of photography I have never been able to do--- star photography! I plan to try it out. The tips you gave, and the tips you and Harsha gave on this at the meeting were extremely helpful. Extremely helpful. The combination of Old Faithful with the stars is fantastic. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for sharing some tips on how to do it. And thanks for this great website you set up!
