ccdn 244 | project three | data excercise

Instructions: you have to go into your back garden and take some shots of the sky on a dark, cloudless night (tonight may well be perfect for it). If you do this on auto setting you will get terrible images. But it you can set up your camera on a tripod or on the ground (something stable - not in your hands) and set the shutter speed to 30 seconds (obviously you need a DSLR for this). Set the apeture to around f2.4 and set the iso to at least 3600. Finally, be sure to focus the camera manually - if you have a zoom lens the zoom in on the stars, focus on them to make them as sharp as possible manually and then zoom back out to have as wide an angle as possible. And finally make sure that you are shooting in RAW format as you need it to try to pull information out.

These are my best images:
