Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at Ka'ena point on Oahu, Hawaii.

Time

About 10pm

Lighting

I light painted my Grand Cherokee with my iPhone 6. Originally we went out to photograph the Milky Way and the mountains but I got bored and attempted to shoot the car.

Equipment

Nikon D4, Zeiss 21mm, Gitzo Tripod with RRS head

Inspiration

No real inspiration just boredom with what I was photographing. I'm

Editing

Very little post processing. What was done was added some contrast and increased the exposure of the sky to match the Grand Cherokee

In my camera bag

Honestly depends what I'm shooting. The equipment I do own is as follows: Nikon D4, D750, Nikon 16mm fisheye, 21mm Zeiss, Nikon 24-70, Nikon 50mm f1.4, Nikon 70-200 VR2, Nikon 200mm f2, Nikon 105mm f2.8, Panasonic GH4 with Metabones speed booster for video and timelapse.

Feedback

While I'm not an expert on capturing the night sky, the basics are shoot wide open around ISO 3200 depending on the aperture of your lens. You don't want too long of an exposure as you will get star trails. Best advice is go out try it out if it don't work try something else but just have fun with it. Aloha!
