Digital After Dark Photography After Dark Online Photo Course for Perfect Picture School of Photography Instructors: Kevin Adams and Donna Eaton Lesson 4 Night Sky Text and Photos © Kevin Adams (All rights reserved) We’ve been having fun over the past three weeks photographing all kinds of subjects at night and trying out some cool techniques. For our last week together, the fun is going to continue and we’re going to push our cameras and ourselves to the limit. My definition of night photography is taking pictures of anything outdoors while the sun is below the horizon, but my first thought is always toward the sky. I remember well all those clear nights spent outdoors when I was shooting film. I’d gaze up at the night sky in awe of the view, but irritated that I could not photograph it. Sure, I could shoot star trails, but what I really wanted to do was take a picture of the sky full of stars, just like I saw with my eyes. You just couldn’t do that with film. With today’s digital cameras, we can have our night sky and photograph it, too! Stars as pinpoints of light: ISO 1600, f/2.8-f/4, 25-30 seconds with a wide-angle lens at a dark site. Star trails: ISO 200-400, f/4, multiple exposures of 4 minutes at a dark site. Adjust settings for both according to light pollution (more pollution requires lower ISOs or shorter shutter speeds), temperature (warmer temps cause more noise in the image), and focal length (with speeds longer than 30 seconds, lenses longer than 17mm will show obvious trailing in the stars). If the lesson ended here, I’ve given you enough information to explore the world of night-sky photography. I love to see the excitement on people’s faces when they learn for the first time that they can point their digital cameras at a dark sky and make a good photograph at ISO 1600, f/4, and 30 seconds. Nothing special required. Of course, we won’t be satisfied with a good photograph, will we? We want our images to be great. So unless you are striving for mediocrity, read on. I’m going to do something a little different in this lesson. The lesson covers five main categories: Star trails, stars as pinpoints of light, planets, Moon, and meteors. However, I’m only going to discuss the last four here in the actual lesson. The reason is because I recently wrote a very detailed treatment about shooting star trails for another project and rather than condense it to fit the lesson, I thought it would be better to provide it for you in its entirety. It is included it as a supplemental document. Some of the information in it is redundant to material we’ve already covered in the lessons or other supplemental documents, but I left in in place so you would have a comprehensive guide for star trails that you can refer to as needed from now on. Stars as Pinpoints When I refer to stars as pinpoints of light (or static stars), I mean they do not show any streaking, as with star trails. In other words, we’re talking about a night photograph that approximates what we see with our eyes. This is where the new digital cameras really shine. As I mentioned in the opening statement, all my photographic life I’ve marveled at the night sky filled with stars and wished there was some way to record it in a photograph. With film, it was simply impossible. When I first started shooting digitally, noise made the image look terrible. But with the new digital cameras and their low-noise sensors, we’re finally was able to capture those awe-inspiring skies. Compositionally, shooting stars as pinpoints is the same as shooting star trails. You want to use a wide-angle lens to show as much sky as possible and you want something interesting going on in the foreground. Look for something that projects into the sky that you can silhouette, such as bridges, trees, or towers. A jagged mountain horizon line can also work well. If there is nothing interesting to silhouette against the sky, you’re going to have to find something that is already lit or that you can light paint. City skylines and most any kind of manmade lighting can make great foregrounds, but remember that the more artificial light you have, the less the sky is going to show up. If you are anywhere near a big city you can probably forget about shooting a night- sky scene. Photo 1 Nikon D800, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens, f/2.8, ISO 3200, 20 seconds Photo 2 Nikon D800, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Exposure for sky: f/3.5, ISO 2000, 25 seconds. Exposure for waterfall: f/5.6, ISO 200, 15 seconds (multiple exposures using LED flashlight and orange gel filter). Exposure for pool: f/4, ISO 800, 15 seconds (multiple exposures using dive light and orange gel filter). Among my favorite foregrounds for night-sky scenes are waterfalls and lighthouses. Photo 1 captures Orion and the planet Jupiter in the sky behind a lighthouse on the North Carolina coast, while Photo 2 shows a waterfall in the North Carolina mountains. You should recognize the waterfall; it’s the same one as Photo 9 and Photo 10 in Lesson 2. I shot it on the same night that I shot those. A huge advantage of shooting lighthouses over many other types of foregrounds, especially waterfalls, is that you often have the ability to move closer or farther away from the lighthouse, and sometimes even walk all the way around it. This provides tremendous flexibility with the composition. By changing your position, you can place the stars, planets, Moon, and other objects of the night sky wherever you want, relative to the lighthouse. The classic night-sky scene shows the Milky Way arching across the sky or projecting above a desert landscape. Where I live, in the mountains of North Carolina, we do not have the opportunity to shoot scenes like this because of the topography and light pollution. However, we can photograph the Milky Way and you can, too, if you go to a relatively dark site. The Milky Way might not look like it does in the middle of the Sahara, but it still looks good. And when you are shooting the Milky Way, you can often get by with a less-interesting foreground, as in Photo 3. The Milky Way creates a strong compositional element all by itself. Whenever I can, though, I try to find an exciting foreground to go with the Milky Way. Old houses, like the one in Photo 4, are one of my favorite types of foregrounds. I light painted this old house using the techniques discussed in Lesson 2. As with star trails, I like to set up camp scenes for pinpoint- star photography. Photo 5 is a blend of two exposures, one for the sky and one for the tent. For the tent exposure, I Photo 3 used a yellow gel on a camera flash and manually fired it at half power in each section of the tent. I tried it at full power Nikon D700, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens, f/2.8, first, but that made it too bright. I had a friend pose with ISO 1600, 30 seconds binoculars during the flashes so she would appear as a silhouette against the tent. Shutter speed and aperture are primary concerns when shooting stars as pinpoints. Unlike with star trails, we have to shoot exposures that are short enough to keep the stars from recording as streaks. An often-quoted formula for determining at which shutter speed a star will begin to streak according to focal length is to divide the focal length into 600. Using this rule, if you divide a 100mm lens into 600, you get a maximum shutter speed of 6 seconds before streaking shows up. My tests show that using 500 as the divider gives more accurate results. So with a 100mm lens, you could only shoot as long as five seconds before obvious trailing occurs and with a 500mm lens, you’d see trailing after only one second! With the 14mm lens that I often use, the maximum shutter speed is 35 seconds. Keep in mind that this is just a general guideline and is designed for obvious trailing. If you magnify the image, you’ll see trailing at faster shutter speeds. Also, stars that occur on the edges of the frame and the farther away from the pole will appear to trail more than others will. The best approach is to shoot a test exposure to determine the longest shutter speed you can use. Photo 4 Nikon D800, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Exposure for sky: f/2.8, ISO 1600, 30 seconds. On separate exposures, I Iight painted exterior of house with flashlight and interior with camera flash and yellow gel filter. Photo 5 Nikon D700, Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8 lens. Exposure for sky: f/4, ISO 1600, 30 seconds. Exposure for tent: f5.6, ISO 200, yellow gel filter on camera flash at half power. Aperture is a concern because of a lens aberration called coma. Ideally, you’d shoot with the widest aperture on the lens to allow in as much light in as possible. However, when shooting wide open, coma causes pinpoints of light at the edges of the frame to bloat and not record as points.

Nowadays, almost everyone can take photos of the night Sky, even very good ones. Night sky photography in general, and MIlky Way photography in particular, have become very popular. You see it every day, social networks are filled up with multiple great Milky Way photos, published by great photographers hoping that their work will be massively shared. Unfortunately, the truth is that just a few achieve to go viral. Why? One possible answer is: inner remarkability. Social transmission expert, Jonah Berger, in his New York Times Bestseller book 'Conta- gious: why things catch on', maintains that: "Remarkable things provide social currency because they make the people who talk about them seem, well, more remarkable [...] Sharing extraordinary, novel, 6 or entertaining stories or ads makes people seem more extraordinary, novel, and entertaining [...] Not surprisingly then, remarkable things get brought up more of- ten." Therefore, how can you make photos so that people will share and talk about? The same inner remarkability principle applies.

  • Troy Paiva's Lost (And Found) America
    Late Delivery: One of Paiva’s workshop students brought this doll to a junkyard shoot and Paiva says he “fell in love with it” and ended up carrying her around as a prop all night. This was shot just after 2AM with a Canon 60D and a Tokina 12-14mm zoom (at 12mm). The exposure (at ISO 200 with the white balance set for 3800K) was 178 sec at f/8. The overall lighting was from the full moon and the warm white, lime and red set lighting was from a ProtoMachines flashlight. with the ecstasy of creation.” While the technique of light painting has been around since the beginnings of photography, Paiva uses a skillful and experimental combination of moonlight (he works exclusively by the light of the full moon) and handheld lighting tools to reimagine and expand the parameters of light painting and night photography. He has published two books of his work: Lost America: Night Photography of the Abandoned Roadside West (Motorbook International, 2003) and Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration (Chronicle Books, 2008). His images have been used to illustrate countless magazine articles and dozens of book and CD covers— perhaps most notably the iconic images on the cover of Stephen King’s books Boxy But Safe: A Volvo station wagon hangs in the jaws of a massive junkyard-shearing machine. Paiva shot the scene in a California auto graveyard with a Canon 60D and Christine and From a Buick 8. a Tokina 12-24mm zoom (at 12mm).

  • PHYSIOGRAM / Light Painting
    PHYSIOGRAM / Light painting Light painting, or light drawing, is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera. Light painting / PHYSIOGRAM Light painting (also called light drawing) dates back to 1889 when Étienne-Jules Marey and Georges Demeny traced human motion in the first known light painting “Pathological Walk From in Front”. Light painting / PHYSIOGRAM A variety of light sources can be used, ranging from simple flashlights to dedicated devices. Fiber optic light pen, candles, fireworks, lighter flints, glow sticks, and Poi are also popular. Light painting / PHYSIOGRAM A tripod is usually necessary due to the long exposure times involved. Alternatively, the camera may be placed on or braced against a table or other solid support. Light painting / PHYSIOGRAM A shutter release cable or self timer is generally employed in order to minimize camera shake. Color gels can also be used to color the light sources.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field.

  • Long Exposure Photography Lesson 1 (Of 4)
    © Beth Ruggiero-York Long Exposure Photography Lesson 1 (of 4) 1) What is “Long Exposure Photography”? 2) Why use long exposures? 3) General categories of long exposure images a) Motion blur (including obscured moving subjects) b) Night landscapes c) Urban scenes d) Artificial lighting using flashlights, lanterns, strobes, etc. (light painting) 4) The technical stuff: a) Equipment needed b) Camera setup c) Focusing in low-light or at night d) Exposure settings 5) Assignment What is “Long Exposure Photography”? Let’s start with a definition of long exposure photography so that we all have a shared understanding of what it is: Long exposure photography (aka time exposure photography, from the days of film) is the use of slow shutter speeds (aka long exposure times) to capture the fixed elements of the image sharply, while blurring, obscuring, or streaking the moving elements. In this way, long exposure photography allows the photographer to convey the passage of time, something that conventional photography cannot do. If you spend some time thinking about this definition, you will come up with endless applications. That is what this course is about – learning the techniques you need to record long exposures and then finding creative ways to use them. © Beth Ruggiero-York 30 seconds, f/14, ISO 100 Lee “Big Stopper” Neutral Density filter (adds 10 stops) Nikon D810, Nikon 24-120mm f/4 lens @ 38mm This image combines the stationary elements of the foreground rocks (which act as an anchor for the image) and the dock with the moving elements of the water and the sky.

The more familiar you are with the controls on your camera, the more you can concentrate on the composition and lighting of each photograph. THE BASIC CAMERA: If you were to strip away the electronic refinements and automatic features of any camera you would find the same basic design underneath – a lightproof container with a hole at one end over which a lens is placed and a holder opposite to accommodate either a strip of light-sensitive film, or a light sensitive electronic chip. To produce a correctly exposed image in a variety of light intensities, the camera lens has an iris diaphragm that can be adjusted to leave a hole of varying diameter. This is called the aperture. On a fixed- lens compact camera, the lens also contains a shutter THE PATH OF LIGHT : The mechanism, known as a between-the-lens shutter, which opens to allow light to reach the film. The shutter allows you to choose the precise moment of exposure, and by selecting from a range of shutter speeds you can also control the length of exposure.
