5 astrophotography mistakes that can ruin nightscapes.
Next to Loughrigg Fell, I’ve probably visited Durdle Door in West Lulworth more than any other landmark in England. But despite the door’s instant appeal, most viewpoints include too much beach or sky, giving the door a bloated look.
This trip, I was determined to solve the compositional riddle. Shooting in landscape helps crop out the boring sky, but overemphasizes the expanse of water. This time, I decided to shoot a vertical to fill the top half of the frame with the starry sky.
The first night shoot was a bit spooky with whipping, howling winds and the glowing eyes of foxes that skitted at my headlamp. Beautiful wisps of clouds flitted past the stars, giving the brightest ones an ethereal glow.
