Starry Night Skies Photography : Tips

 

Starry-Night-Skies-Photography

Look for cool clear moonless nights unless you specifically want to photograph the moon and avoid light polluted areas like big cities or towns. Use a sturdy tripod and cable release; set up your composition, lock down the focus and make a test shot. This will help determine exposure, and if you need to make any changes to your composition. Shoot RAW as you can more easily make adjustments in post-production. Try to use a lens with larger aperture, use higher ISO. Manual focusing and turn setting it to infinity focus works nice. Set the shutter speed to either the bulb setting or a range of settings between about 2 and 30 seconds. It is obvious that, Starry Night Skies will work easier with these settings over taking shot of Shooting Stars.

Imagine a composition where there is really a shooting star on background and a wedding couple in foreground illuminated with reflectors. As like all niche, composition with Starry Night Skies Photography can go quite creative.
