  • This photo was taken on last week's workshop in Westcliffe. It is a blend of two images, both take with my Tamron 15-30mm lens and Canon R6. The foreground shot is a 25-second exposure at ISO 6400 and f/3.2. I pointed the camera straight at the barn to minimize distortions. It was lit by two LED panels. I tipped the camera up to get more of the stars for the sky photo. The sky is a 2-minute exposure with the MSM at ISO 1600 and f/3.2. I used Photoshop's "Replace Sky" function to do most of the blending, which worked very well. I cropped out the bottom of the barn photo and extended the canvas so I could use the larger sky in the tracked photo. I was especially proud of myself for setting up the tracker without using a flashlight. I aligned with the laser pointer. I think I will make a tutorial on how I blended the two files in Photoshop. More photos to come.

  • This is sort of a behind-the-scenes shot where you can see one of the two LED panels used to light the barn. I am standing near the other one.

  • We watched Venus and Jupiter rise. They looked like car headlights when they just broke the norizon, and I wasn't sure what I was looking at.
