Painting with Light
Wanted to try my hand at more astrophotography, so this is a collage of several techniques combined with a long exposure (25 second exposure) while light painting with a 100 lumen flashlight and a 20 photo stack of Orion's Nebula (ISO 12,800 at 1 sec exposures, ƒ/1.8).
I took these shots close to home as I didn't feel like driving to the Malahat which is a little ways out. So the noise pollution was there which made for a interesting way to frame the trees but I was actually surprised how little it affected my shots of the Nebula,
Anyhow fun shots for the evening. Will have to seriously look at doing more astrophotography one day.
UPDATE: I've also included the full sized version of this file to see the details of the stars.
