That final image is awesome! Nice clarity. A number of years ago, I photographed a comet on 35mm film. This was Comet McNaught which was clearly visible in the Southern Hemisphere for a short time and was huge. I used a Canon FTb with a 135mm f2.5 lens and a Fuji 1600asa colour negative film which was super grainy. I did get a bit of star trailing but the comet turned out quite nice. Though I regret not shooting earlier in the evening when the comet was a little brighter.

I like the retrospective on how things went. Hindsight doesn't ever help the situation in consideration. It does however allow for personal, as well as professional growth. Sometimes we get so excited, that we forget to slow down, live in the moment...take our time.

This reminds of tracking the phases of the moon back in University. We used to prop the shutter open permanently. That was one of the last time I used a film camera.

Hello. I don't know if you still read those comments or not, but it's not fair that your channel has smaller amount of subscribers than it deserves. One small tip: instead of cable release or IR/Bluetooth remote shutter you can actually use a self-timer, just press it then go away from your camera. It should work fine with bulb too.
@pablodiazphotography4 жыл бұрын
rayne Thanks for the kind words my friend, it’s really appreciated! Also great tip on the self-timer 👍🏼
@anzaeria Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if a self timer would work effectively with Bulb. You might get a rather brief duration exposure when the shutter fires from the self timer. For one thing, the camera doesn't know how long you intend to keep the shutter open. At least with a cable release, you can control how long the shutter will remain open.

Thanks for the upload, I recently returned to astronomy after a 42 year pause and wanted to do some astrophotography. I know that DSLR's in combination with stacking software can yield spectacular images. But, I returned to film a few years ago to be rid of instant gratification. So I will also shoot film and see how this turns out, will develop myself and will use a Nikkormat FTN and F2 Photomic with an array of vintage Nikon glass. I will mount the camera on an Omegon LX2 tracker. Your video offered valuable insights and is a motivation to use film.

Hello, I have a stupid question bear with me, were all of these shot at infinity focus? Another question, if I wanted to keep both the sky and a body like the joshua tree or a rock formation in focus , what focus do i use ? Bear 🐻with me i'm a beginner
@pablodiazphotography Жыл бұрын
Hello 👋 These are not dumb questions. I actually shot at f1.8. And focusing to infinity is fine for older lenses but newer lenses may have a better fusing range. The low aperture will allow more light into your sensor and will also allow you to reduce the exposure time or shutter speed. The issue is that when focused on the stars, your foreground will suffer a bit.
