my new star adventurer finally enables some serious deep sky astrophotography. unfortunately, my 75-300mm is less than up to the task! very bad CA, strange stars and slow optics. despite this i tried it out on the globular cluster omega centauri as i only get a limited window of time to image this part of space given its incredibly southernly declination.

Above is a shot of the Huntsville space and rocket center. I have shot this before as seen below, but this is an HDR. The longest exposure of the HDR really helped get good car trails.

What's Florida without a visit to the Kennedy Space Center? Ah, to dream... Barring the Russian Soyuz and Mars One programs, it was really the closest and only way I could get into low Earth orbit! (+ permission from my wife!)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) logo was approved by President Eisenhower in 1959, and slightly modified by John F. Kennedy in 1961. Kennedy's portrait seen here engraved in the granite in the background left.
Look for it at Getty Images
Just having some fun with this picture. Is it "Space Needle" from Seattle, or some kind of space ship (UFO)???

People riding Space Mountain in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, February 6, 2018 in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida.
I talk about and share information on how to photograph motion on my All Ears photo blog at Add Motion to Your Walt Disney World Photos.
The Shuttle is to space flight what Lindbergh was to commercial aviation.

I thought I would write some notes on my setup for my recent space photos. Most LEGO pictures deliberately present the subject as a model, with a neutral background and diffuse light. I've tried to get a more Star Treky effect as if it's really in space with exotic lighting. I've also shot it so you can't see the stand, as if it's floating.
I've used a green backing so I can easily remove the ship from the background. This isn't a massive factor, because it's relatively easy to cut out the ship by hand in a still image; but it saved me a bit of time so...
The photos are taken with a very small aperture, so the depth of field is maximised. I then use a very low ISO to minimise grain. This in turn requires a very long exposure, like 5 seconds, or else the picture is crazy dark. However that's not a problem of course because it's a still life - it doesn't move! I do underexpose a bit to prevent the white burning in and crushing all the highlights. I can easily brighten it in Photoshop.
A.Camera. I've got it wired directly to my laptop so I can download the pictures immediately and check they've worked on a big screen before moving on.
B.Key light. This is the "warm" yellow light coming from the left in the pictures. It's an IKEA anglepoise lamp with a high intensity fluorescent bulb. There's a straw coloured gel over it to make it "warmer".
C.Fill light. This is another IKEA light with a bright bulb. It's got a blue gel over it and a bunch of gauze (actually net curtain material) held in front to soften it.
D.Kicker. This light throws a bright blue light from left to pick out detail. This is an LED worklight which throws a very bright white light. It's got a blue gel over it.
E.Greenscreen. This is some bright green wrapping paper taped to the wall. Because it's going to be keyed out it doesn't matter too much how smooth or good it looks. There's another light X aimed at it to light it. Note also the model is quite far away from it so green "spill" light doesn't reflect back on the model.
F.The model. It's internally lit with LEDs which are surprisingly bright (as you can see here).
G.The window is blocked up so all the light in the room comes from artificial sources so it's completely controllable.
As you can see my setup is very rudimentary and pretty much everything is improvised. My digital camera is second-hand and about 10 years old. If folks are interested I will do another post with details of the processes I use in PhotoShop to create the final images.
Woo.
Recently, I broke out my Bionicle parts to start attempting at building mecha (key word attempting). After watching the Star Wars Rebels thing (it actually wasn't entirely bad), I got a craving for space things that aren't squares using 2x1 dark bleys. So yee. Space. Maybe more to come (if the jumping between building themes trend I have been in holds up the way it has been I'll probably have a castle to post by the end of the week <.<).
