Astrophotography in the Pilbara

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Hi All,

This is my first Steemit post!!!!

Currently starting out with Astrophotography, Just a hobby for now that i quite enjoy.

My current camera is a Nikon D90 that i received as a hand-me-down from my parents.
Once i get the hang of everything ill upgrade to something newer.

I work in the Pilbara region in Western Australia, when i get time i try to catch the night sky as its not far of a drive to get away from light pollution.

Hope you enjoy the pictures below, Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated.

all shot taken with a f/2.8 10.5mm fisheye lense.

This was edited from the fisheye so the outer part of the shot is slightly blurry.

  • ISO 3200, 18 Sec exposure

  • ISO 3200, 15 sec exposure

One night i was unlucky with the night as there was a full moon, but i still managed to get an interesting shot

Nice photos man! I like the shot in the middle of the road.

Should do some shots on the TV Hill if you havnt already. Get some light trails from passing cars and what not.
