I'll provide some details to address questions: The new laptop has no GPU, Intel Iris Xe (integrated graphics). I'll check for updates anyway. The display has not been calibrated, but I don't think ...

Is there a better forum for this question?

I just got a new laptop and installed LR Classic. I tired exporting a bunch of photos I edited. I noticed the exported files had the as-shot color temperature. I did a bunch of web searches and ...

@MrBolton...that was one of the initial claims that got me excited about NFTs. Unfortunately, it seems to be wrong. Crypto Punks recently filed a copyright lawsuit against a conceptual artist who...

Thanks! Yes, I've seen a lot of stuff in this series of images (taken during Perseid). It's just the dual flare in one frame along parallel lines really stood out.

I'm nearing the end of cleaning 315 frames for a star trails image. This is one of those frames, polaris is the big blue star in the upper left of the screen capture.

With maybe one more month of Milky Way to go, I can report that the very best thing about having an R6 for astro is that I can use my 6D to capture frames for star trails and time lapse processing ...

supply chain problems + crypto mining = sky high GPU prices

My current laptop is an MSI gaming laptop. It's lasted 6 years so far, though that wouldn't be true if I did video. Gaming laptops offer the most power per dollar (some exceptions apply).

I just tried the Blue Hour Method for the first time a few weeks ago. That's a good suggestion. I would have needed to commit more time to this shoot to do it, but really that's probably the most ...

So, you've never used a flashlight? Never driven at night? Don't have any exterior lights on your cave? Cool dude, good for you. Too bad you are destroying the environment by using electricity to ...

I have heard of LLL from Bryan Hansel. I recognize Wayne Pinkston website so I'm pretty sure Bryan linked his followers to Wayne. I have not yet bought a light panel, but I do intend to try this ...

1) This is not a dark sky park, nor does it have any other designation for artificial lighting. This is located in a town, there are street lights and property lights nearby. Luckily they are far ...

I appreciate the helpful feedback.

Like I said, the light painting was a fallback to hedge against other challenges. Appreciate the opinion, but I give my condolences to those who suffer your self-righteousness IRL.

Ideally, I'd practice light painting a subject until I could get it just right in camera while shooting low ISO. The real world often makes this impractical to impossible for lots of reasons I ...

I took a series of 20s exposures for 3 hours with my second camera for star trails and time lapse processing. There are of course several planes, satellites and a few meteors in the sequence. I ...

Thanks, I was not aware of that 40 mm lens at all. Another one on my dream list.

My next lens will be a 35 mm prime. I still have a 6D in addition to my R6. I shoot both when I go out for Milky Way landscapes, typically the 6D is set to fire all night long for star trails and ...
