ehecatl Posted September 24, 2014 Share #1  Posted September 24, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) This past summer in Ecuador, I spent a couple of nights out in the Ecuadorian Amazon. No tv, no internet, no cell phone service. The nights were spectacular, so I decided to experiment with taking long exposures. As I have no tripod, I set the camera on a chair and pointed it upwards. This is a 30 second exposure. Post-processed in Lightroom to bring out the Milky Way. Welcome, dear visitor!

DigitalHeMan Posted September 24, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted September 24, 2014 Impressive, I'm surprised you didn't get star trails with such a long exposure..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehecatl Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share #3 Â Posted September 24, 2014 Impressive, I'm surprised you didn't get star trails with such a long exposure..... Â Thank you! I was surprised about that too. I experimented with 15 second and 30 second exposures. Any longer and I think I would have started getting some (minor) star trails.

ehecatl Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share #7 Â Posted September 26, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Excellent! What is the white line towards the top of the picture? I believe that was a shooting star. It really was a magical night when I was out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
