andyboy1970 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 This is a single 4 minute shot. This is from a semi-rural location, my back garden, and shows the effect of light pollution from a town about 6 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 That's superb and, as you said, really highlights the effect of light pollution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doc Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I tried this once and my light pollution was so bad the whole photo was yellow. This is still an awesome shot thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Andy, I know it's a long time ago but, I've just bought a Canon 1000D. What sort of settings would you use for a shot like this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sorry, just noticed your post. There is a website that shows the best settings, i will have a look see. Here you go, these are the same settings I use - http://www.astropix.com/BGDA/SAMPLE3/SAMPLE3.HTM Always shoot in Raw. If you look in the manual it tells you how to do a custom white balance.
