This Weekend, In Taos
Posted in 5DMII, Astrophotography, Long exposures on August 30, 2014 by budbranchI made this 15 second exposure shooting straight up off Julie’s picnic table (since I didn’t pack a tripod). The clouds are lit by nearby Taos. And of course, that’s the Milky Way beyond. Way beyond.

Warp Drive – Engage!
Posted in 5DMII, Long exposures on December 3, 2013 by budbranchSo, I’ve been noticing these lighted snowflake decorations, and wondering how they’d look in a long drive-by exposure. I set the camera up in the back seat on a mostly-collapsed tripod, used a cable release, and six second exposure. The two mirrors are a cool bonus!

What Else – ?
Posted in 5DMII, Available Light, Long exposures on July 5, 2013 by budbranchThis was the 4th of July fireworks display in Taos NM – the first time I’d ever seen it. It started before the sky was totally dark, which afforded some NICE cloud background. Also, the air is very dry, which I think must favor nice sharp photos. I was shooting the 17-40 at ISO200, f/7-10, 2-5sec exposures using a cable release. Toward the end, I went to bulb mode and manually started/stopped the exposures, since they were throwing up SO much stuff at one time!
Group Portrait: Fire-Flies
Posted in 5DMII, Available Light, Composite, Long exposures on June 23, 2013 by budbranchI made this composite photo using the same techniques and software that I use to make star-trail images! I seek dense swarms of fireflies – if you know of a good place, please be in touch?
