RE: A night of lightpainting that turned in some Astrophotography instead

in Lightpainters United3 years ago

We don't have any problem with other kind of photography and we all do other genres (IR, astro, portrait...). But here we're talking about lightpainting only.
You'll find plenty of photography groups and digital art communities to share this kind of work with. Tiny planets are cool but this is not the right place to post it 😉

Cool. My mistake.
The tiny planets did start off as a night of test lightpainting but my bodgy torches didn't work...so I tried that instead...
Whats IR?

Infrared photography, that's what I do during daylight :

Oh wow cool, I see.

Tallying up my finances to see if I can pay off a bridging camera and after seeing what @papilloncharity can do with his, I'm thinking about how I can wrangle a Canon Powershot sx70, but I'm just doing the research now cause I want to be able to lightpaint/ astrophotgraphy and do everything else with it (and all the other ones are wayyyyy out of my price range- even if I had a job- which I usually do, just not in lockdowns...)

So glad you told me about that cause that another feature I need to make sure it has!

I suggest you to save a bit more money and buy a second-hand reflex : lenses on bridges can do everything but poorly, and you will regret your purchase if you want to invest for years. Second-hand market for cameras and lenses can be a good way for you to get a decent gear ;)

Hmm yes, good advice...thanks, I will def check some out.
