Trying NIGHT SKY and WATER PHOTOGRAPHY for the FIRST TIME!

[@breannamarshall191]

f/2.8, ISO 800, and a shutter speed of 20"-30" max is pretty standard for star photos. Anything above 30" you're going to have the stars visibly move in the photo, and if your camera can't handle high ISOs, you'll end up with too much noise (800 is a safe number for many cameras). The Milky Way is visible all year in the Northern Hemisphere, and during winter months in the Southern Hemisphere. The galactic core of the Milky Way (the really really bright part) is only visible during certain months of the year depending on your latitude, so you'd have to look that up for your location. There are apps that you can probably download for your location that will alert you if there is a chance of Northern Lights in your area, or just keep an eye on KD indexes online (there are groups you can join, of course, but it's not required). Keep practicing and trying new things, I love your style and can't wait to see more

Do you have ND Filter?. It gives so much to milky waterfalls. Stars to shoot is better if you focus your lens at day and leave it on manual because if i tried focus manually then later they was still out of focus 🤣but settings i would use S30'' or 20'', lowest F like 2.8 or 1.8 or even lower. ISO i would keep under 1600 or depends the camera. In edit is possible remove noise pretty well and in my 10 years i notice that stars are more bright on winter or when moon is just on the horizon. I don't know about of astrology but i'm sure you seen by yourself that moon sometimes lighting so much like you actually can see without any flashlight. so stars do the same. there are some periods when they are super bright. I challenge you to shoot milky way. That's fun and in milky way is also brightest stars and if you ever had the changes then northern lights but you need to find groups where they share information like when they are and so. If you get them then they make you either cry or cum 😂😂 I did both when i got European biggest northern lights in 10 years
