Night Photograpy Excursion III
I went out again this evening to photograph some night stuff. I'm getting quite a bit of noise when the exposures go over 10 minutes. Therefore I shot everything both digitally and with film. Next time I'll bring two tripods, which should cut my time in the field in half. There are a lot of weird radio programs on at 2:00 in the morning to pass the time though. Tonight I was listening to a program called Evolution, Creation, and Extraterrestrials.
Anyway, here are three photographs of the same subject. The first photograph was made with the ISO set to 1600, I added a bit of light from my headlamp. It's really noisy (or grainy, or however you define it), but it's cool to see the stars relatively sharp. The next photograph was a twenty minute exposure with no added light, during the exposure clouds rolled in and obscured most of the stars. The last photograph was a twenty minute exposure with a little bit of added light from a headlamp. I didn't even know there was lightning until I viewed the photograph on the computer.

You know awhile back I could sleep so I went to the doc and he gave me some Sonata. Now I sleep like a baby. Just thought you might like to know. The first pic is amazing.
Mmmmm, crawfish!
I like that shot with the lighting and the potato(e) cellar.
I might want a print of that if it's not too fugly.
That first one if freakin' wicked. Do the north star thingy...or else I will.
I think I made some things last night with the camera pointed at the north star. I shot it with film though, so it may take a while to get to it.
These are awesome!

holy cow! those are gorgeous
Amazing! I really dig the photos after the clouds rolled in.
Man oh man!! These are (once again) incredible!
Very nice stuff. Remember the 'painting with light' phase, back in the early '90s? (I think someone even invented a thing called the 'hosemaster' to use...) Anyway, some of the 'look' on some of these reminds me of that. Keep the night stuff coming!
James,
I do remember that, which is one reason I'm hesitant to light more things with car lights, flashlights, etc.
