coltboostin Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 So how "doctored" are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 So how "doctored" are those? Depends. Like I said these are two shots blended into one. Most of the photoshop work goes into blending the foreground and the sky. These are actual views/alignments. There is a big divide between astrophotographers and what we call artists. Where they take a foreground and take a sky shot from a different day and post process them together. I plan these shots, and its most of the time I have into taking them. By the time I do all my scouting its not unusual to have over 10 hrs in a shot, by the time I drive to and from it. The shots are adjusted before blending them together. All your basic stuff. brightness, shadows (if needed), maybe the white balance/hue, contrast. With that said I am allowed to enter photography contests that state 'minor photoshopping allowed'. In reality all I am doing is the same thing an In-camera HDR does, but the camera can't handle that big of a dynamic range. There is really no way around it. I do get single image shots when i'm framing my shot at 12000+ ISO but they are so grainy you might as well draw it with crayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
