Iron_Dreamer Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 I can see star motion at 25s at 20-24mm on a D800. Quite pixel peepy, but it is there. 30s at 14mm is okay though.
crappyjones123 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 I think it's time for a astrotracker. :faceaplm:
Dreadhead Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) They are called autoguiders. Good luck with that rabbit hole. I almost got an astrophotography setup but then I realized that with the hours I work I'm not willing to stay up until 3am taking photos. Edited February 9, 2015 by Dreadhead
agile_one Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 They are on Flickr. The story is key. Doh! I missed the progression at first look ... thought you were doing something like photo a week or such. Very nice set, and enjoyed the story.
Voltron Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 This is the first of the 4 most important photos I will take all year. Click through to Flickr. It is very important you view these in the right order. This is #1 byLord Nikon 12, on Flickr 2
crappyjones123 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 One of the most heartbreaking but yet satisfying volunteer projects I've been a part of. Today I went to a local pediatric oncology ward with 3 classmates and we hung out with some of the coolest kids ever. This was one of my favorite shots from this morning. On the right is Ana, who wants to be a pediatrician. On the left, is Jerimiah, who at the ripe age of 20 months wants to give everyone 'fist bumps of love' forever. We got to spend just a few minutes with each kid as they awaited their treatments. Just as we were getting comfortable, we got a constant reminder that they were there for chemotherapy. An awful plight but the incessant hugs and being asked to give everyone piggy back rides made it somewhat ok.
crappyjones123 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Kelida being wheeled away to the bathroom. She kept up her spirits throughout and gave us some beautiful smiles. Unfortunately, the treatment caught up and she did not feel well. Her grandmother did not speak English and Kelida was translating for her the entire time. She only spoke French and both of them kept laughing at my constant repetition of, 'feuille de papier' - the only french I remembered from last year.
blessingx Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Good timing - Nikon aims for the stars with the D810A, world’s first full-frame astrophotography camera http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5786202951/nikon-d810a-astrophotography-camera
Dreadhead Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 ^ That is awesome! Man I want to get into the hobby but I have too much stuff going on and it's only going to get busier with a 3rd kid in the next week or two.=.
crappyjones123 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 That's a pretty expensive conversion. I thought there was a company that modified that filter for like $250 or something.
nikongod Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 That's a pretty expensive conversion. I thought there was a company that modified that filter for like $250 or something. D810a is $500 more than the D810 (MSRP) NOBODY in Japan has a very good record for getting pro-level cameras right enough that they don't need a recall or 2, in the last few releases anyways. Having a warranty is probably worth $250 this early in the game. I'm curious if Nikon will ever make a B&W version. I mean, I would much rather have a GR-monochrom, but I imagine that a D810-monochrom would be very practical for micro-photography and other non-color-sensitive documentation.
Dreadhead Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 The additional settings and functionality available also make it more than worth it.
crappyjones123 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Couple more from yesterday. 3
VPI Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Froze my ass off tonight trying to shoot some night shots with the D750/20f 1.8. Caught a plane heading in to DCA 4
agile_one Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Nicely done, Jeff. Some really nice images there. Now go warm up with a nice beverage or three.
Iron_Dreamer Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Really like that last one of the statues! 1
Augsburger Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 That last one is haunting yet beautiful. Wow!
crappyjones123 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Was about to pull the trigger on the 20/1.8 but will wait for the sigma 24 now. Looks like a great lens.
Iron_Dreamer Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 We'll see how that Sigma turns out. It's a lot of extra bulk for 2/3 stop on a less wide lens. I like the aggressive pricing by Sigma.

nikongod Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 I have not yet grown bored of the GoPro. Or tried to take it apart and broken it. I'm a bit more amazed by the second part, really.goproheart by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr In the highly unlikely event anyone cares, I shot this from the back, and flipped it which is why the signs are all messed up. 2
crappyjones123 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Holy distortion Batman. Wide lens is wide. Clever use though - flipping the image.
crappyjones123 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 From a while back. The sky was a boring blue grey so tried selective color. 'Separated by Water'
