The Milky Way above the setting moon.

This is amazing, keep up the great work!
Thank you very much @tomthetoaster
I will try my best to keep up 😊
Now that is a wonderful shot of the Milky Way Kevin. It is something that I would love to capture too...eventually lol.
I'm getting there slowly but surely. Just started working with RAW and it's pretty incredible what a difference it makes to post production options.
Lovely image buddy. :)
Thank you very much for your kind words @molometer
This picture was quite simple. The f2.8 and the big field of view of the lens helped a lot.
Nice to read that you started shooting RAWs. You will love the possibility of that it affords. A little tip, try to underexposure your images a little bit when shooting in RAW. From underexposed images, you can restore much more details than from pictures with saturated areas.
Which software do you use for editing?
Thanks mate :-)
I'm using an ancient copy of Photoshop 3 but it seems to work ok still.
I'll take your advice on the underexposure tip. I'm getting my head around all this stuff and it's great fun. :-)
That should still be fine :-)
I have set up my Nikon to make a EV of -1/3.
Nice to hear that you have a great fun with all the stuff :-)
Thanks for the info Kevin. My son also showed me how to adjust the EV on my Canon 70D and I have been experimenting with it for a little while.
It sounds counter intuitive to reduce the EV for night photography but I can see how it does make sense.
Hopefully I can get at least 'one' night of clear sky ha ha.
I cross my fingers for a clear sky and a fast setting moon :-)
Maybe I expressed myself a little bit misleading. Your intuition is right, in night photography reducing the EV makes no sense, because you need every Photon that your camera can catch.
It‘s useable for all situations where you could get saturated (overexposed) areas. Also, mostly in daylight photography.
I've been out this evening doing some photos of Andromeda and by playing around with the EV settings have been getting some better images. Remember those images that I got where it looked like daytime?
I've managed to solve that issue and now at least they look like night time photos ha ha. I'm just going to edit the raw files now and see what I get. fingers crossed.
The Moon was still up when I was shooting so I don't think I got much of the Milky Way. We will see? :-)
Oh Witz, das was Du da an Fotos ablieferst ist der Hammer.
Machst Du das auch professionell oder ist das "nur" ein Hobby?
Und wenn das "nur" ein Hobby ist, solltest Du mehr draus machen :-)
Upvote&resteem - eh klar ;-)
Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte @hasenmann :-)
Das ist nur ein Hobby, um da mehr draus zu machen fehlt mir noch einiges. :-)
Vielen Dank :-)
