How do you feel about the night’s drawing in? Sunsets rapidly getting earlier and earlier. Having to dress up on my layers when you go out in the evenings? ⛄️
Last night was certainly one of those nights. The air temperature taking into account the windchill to derive the most important temperature, the “feels like” temperature! So it was bordering on single figures where I was doing a shoot last night with a gentle and soft breeze taking the edge further down on the temperature.
It was great to be able to do starry night time photography from about 9:30pm onwards but personally, I’d still rather have the long summer nights and balmy evenings any time! 😎
Last night was my first practice attempt at doing deep space astrophotography with just a standard camera, no telescope. I’m not much into the astronomy side of things to be honest but I do love things like this which explore the full gamut of boundaries and diversity of what you can do with a modern digital camera setup beyond just the normal selfies and pet photo snaps! I absolutely love pet photos by the way, so nothing against that kind of thing at all! 😀
I don’t know what the final result will be of what I captured last night. That’s a whole load more time spent with the computer which might break my poor little 6 year old vintage setup, as high spec as it was at the time of purchase!
Will let you know how it goes in due course! 😉😅😃
