    Thank you! Still learning and trying to get them while still flying rather than on the perches.

    Nikon 200-500 right at minimum focusing distance ~8ft. 1 flash overhead, another below.


    One with a slower shutter speed

    @picturethis is my winner this week!

    The pinwheel shadow with the similar color pallet on the ground as on the pinwheel itself is a nice touch; an inverse. If it wasnt deliberate it appears like it was :thumbsup:


    PM @uhplifted or @medic2230 with your challenge for this week.

    Was really expecting more black and white like @Wadar posted as that is what I think of when I try to see in highlights and shadows.

    Not an entry. Taken Sunday night. Just sharing. 30 second exposure. Took so many times to capture without the boat drifting. I think I drank a whole beer taking this shot hahaha.

    Turns out you don’t need “long” exposures on astral photography.FAE6F794-564F-43C5-BE05-74370E94B93E.jpg
    But I could use some practice.

    Look into the process called “stacking”

    TL;DR take a number of 30”-1’ exposures and “stack” them by layering in photoshop

    There should be a few free plugins that do this as well
