Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during a trip to the semi-desert with my grandson for camping.   This place is located far away from the city light, so it is ideal for taking the stars.

Time

I start taking photos about 8 PM, after sunset,  you can see the sunlight on the back of the photo. 

Lighting

It was a very cold and a very dark night, so I was using my hand warmer and a remote control to be able to take each photo.  This is the ideal situation for astro photography

Equipment

I was using my Nikon D750, a 20mm Nikkor lens, a standard tripod, a remote control, and my zippo hand warmer. I also use anti fog cleaner for my lens.

Inspiration

I love to do Astro photography, because I love the outdoors, the nature and the amazing final result after allowing the lens to take as much light as possible.

Editing

I did the basic post processing in Lightroom Classic

In my camera bag

My equipment is a Nikon D750, a nikkor 20 mm lens, a 50-500 mm Sigma lens, tripod, remote control, and cleaning equipment.

Feedback

Find a very dark place, use a program similar to PhotoPills to find the correct time and place, practice a lot to know your equipment and have fun sharing with your friends and family the moment, and the outdoors. Have a happy shooting. - Saludos
