This was a great workshop that was the first in 1 1/2 years due to last years constant overcast skies. Well, we caught a break at least of an hour and it was fairly early in the evening.
"You could see a billion stars"
At least for an hour or so, then the clouds moved in like predicted and it was a rainy drive back to Virginia Beach.
Here is some info on what I used, there were a variety of cameras being
used this night. My gear was
Cannon SL2, Ioptron Sky Tracker Pro, GVM RGB Light, wireless triggers,
monfrotto tripod, 11mm and 17mmm lens.
Exposures on the Milky Way ranged from 1 to 4 minutes. Foreground
exposures were mostly at 1 second.
I used my Shadowpainting technique for the foregrounds and also shot multiple exposures.
This was a successful and very fun workshop. Stay tuned for more announcements in the future, based on weather of course.
Tight lines, clear skies, and Godspeed.
