Star photograph

I like the star on the sky at night.
Some star are hiding and our human eye won't able to see them all.
So that I m using the camera, to find out how many stars are hiding from our human vision ......... ok, I know stars are uncountable, I m just talk nonsense :P

What I try to photograph is hiding in the dark, that's why I need to make a long time exposure with camera shutter. As long as the shutter open to let the light going in the camera sensor, as more lighten thing will appears in photo.

While shutter make a long exposure will make some moving object trace or something like light painting things ...... Earth are rotate in every second, so the star will become line while long time exposure such as 30 sec (max limit on default setting on every camera), that's we called: STAR TRAIL.

So that I have photograph some star trail testing.
Photograph below are shooting on December 2015. 
 
Star trail 160 sec, on the bottom captured the flight passing over.


Star trail 500 sec, focal zoom to 50mm


A test shooting with close up object, i forgot to use high aperture setting to make foreground clear ......


Just stars 58 sec shutter.


Star trail 500 sec without zoom focal 16mm.


Above all the photograph are shooting around my house, that area still got lot of light pollution so that I m going to a beach at night to test.

For first time shooting in the very dark situation, the image no good as I aspected.
 And some of the cloud are disturbing ......

Before going to beach, take a look of the sunset without sun on hill.


I get the star with higher ISO, but you can see the cloud is it ? So disturbing !




Next time hopefully can shooting without cloud at this shooting point.
Oh ya, the location is somewhere very South place at Penang Island.
Looking for chance to going there again in future.

That's all ~ =v=
