RE: myday #24 - 114℉ in Australia + A Dusty Vehicle = One Epic Journey - Part Three
@littlenewthings! I'm glad you picked up on that last shot! I didn't put in an explanation as I knew someone like you would ask :)
I actually shot this image during the day and then practiced using my photoshop knowledge to add some stars in from another photo. The whole scene sort of worked out. If I'm going there again I will stay down there until dark and try shooting this for real! Thanks for commenting and you upvote :)
Ah I see! Because I was wondering how did the stars actually circulate that way, though I know that there ARE some areas we can take such a shot!
hahaha yeah. I have actually taken photos of the starts like this. All you need is the camera on a long exposure (say around one hour) and then the rotation of the earth will make the stars appear that way.
One hour?? You mean it is on a video mode or keep it active for an hour before the shot?
Ah, sorry I mean you keep the shutter open in a setting called 'BULB' which allows you to keep the camera's shutter open as long as you want. I typically will use this mode with a remote release as it allows me to lock off the shutter button to keep it open and unlock the switch which closes the shutter. I'll have to add long exposures to my list of future tutorials to share :)
