idostuff74 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 All settings manual, focus to infinity, largest (in numbers: smallest, 2.8, 1.5?) aperture your camera offers, crank up the ISO to whatever resulting noise is bearable. Have a tripod or something stable to firmly place the camera on. Then, try different exposure times with the self-timer to reduce any vibration.Is what I would suggest.

orcatek Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Long exposure. Pre-focus at infinity.Now if you don’t want star trails, depending on focal length you are looking at a 15-20 second exposure. Longer if you have a super wide lens (under 20mm). You’re going to need to raise the ISO to get a proper exposure. Depending on your camera, you may have a lot of noise. To get rid of that there are some great techniques using 5-7 frames and some tricks in photoshop that work will. I actually teach a workshop on night photography.Use a tripod, use a delay timer to get rid of shake, and mirror lock-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
