naon-deano Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 could do with a bit of help on this one i was down the beach the other day with the g/f and i tried to get a few action shots of jetski's but none of the turned out as bright as they should of. it was about an hour from sunset but the sun was in the direction i was shooting any way this is the pic any ideas where im going wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 any ideas where im going wrong I'd shoot at a slightly lower shutter speed (it'd give the photo more movement too), or increase the ISO a touch, not too much to keep the detail. Open the pic in WIndows Live Photo Gallery, click ''Fix'' at the top of the window, and move the ''Shadows'' slider a bit to the right, it'll remove some of the darkness from the dark colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richhrly Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Looks like its exposing for the water - not the rider. Water is perfectly exposed. Dial in a bit of exposure comp (best whilst shooting, but you can do it in post too) and you'll be fine!

Tingting44 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 hey guys my remote shutter come for my DSLR today so i can do long bulb exposures now, i am going to attempt a long exposure tonight (through my telescope and not through the scope) any suggestions? id like to do like a 5 minute exposure but i got a big bright street lamp near to my back garden, not sure if this will mess things up?

stupar Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Any light source exposed to the sensor for 5 mins will blow out in the shot if it is included in the frame. If it is close but not in the frame you may get some light pollution from it instead. What is it exactly that you are trying to achieve from the long exposure as 5 mins is a heck of a long time.

Tamiyacowboy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 the 5 min is going to be a struggle with the arc seconds the tracking has. i would pull down to around 40-60 seconds see how it goes. then bump up if the light pollution is low. being summertime heat is going to become a problem (amp glow + summer = nasty noise to capture rate) do not forget a telescope acts like a big camera lens, and the fixed F5 of the scope is wide open, its a fast scope in light gathering terms, so requires less exposure time. i would say wanting a 5 min exposure that tingting is on the hunt for DSO (deep sky objects ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 thanks guys for the help, i am trying to shoot the planet saturn and its moons, i got some half decent pics last night, just trying to get my head around how to align with registax to start stacking as it will not let me stack ? the 5 min exposure was really just a stab in the dark lol im really new to this, so do you think i should go for around say 1 minute exposure to try to capture the wonder that is saturn? sorry for kinda taking this thread off topic also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) shooting even at 60s is to slow. your really want to be shooting quick around 1/50 - 1/2000 i fell for the same thing, because the sky is dark you should expose longer. for stars and widefield shots that is fine. But shooting the planets is different. even a long widefield shot of planet will show it over exposed. for a full moon your looking at around 1/500 to 1/4000, more toward the faster end at 4000. your seeing the sun reflected. same as all the other planets they reflect the sun light so become very bright. long exposing an already bright surface just makes it worse. but shorten the exposure and the planet/object starts to have contrast. planets = fast shutter speeds.( a few billion km's away) stars /nebula/galaxys/widefield = slow shutter speeds ( a few million AU/lightyears away) Edited May 31, 2012 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
