[jagged lake]

Yeah, so a dslr is more budget friendly

Trying not to go broke on the hobby quite yet

[feral vector]

Then you will have to probably buy new lenses

Which has benefits anyways

Autofocus, aperture control, more modern optics

This is why I specifically landed on the camera system I am using

Late canon analog cameras use same lenses as canon dslrs

@jagged lake have you gotten any of your film developed yet?

[jagged lake]

It was just dropped off today

So yes soon™️

my dad went downtown so I made him do it lol

[feral vector]

Damn you bought how many lenses before getting anything developed

[jagged lake]

1

the other two were with it

This is technically not my camera

And I only got 3 shots with new lens so they’re likely bad

We shall see how royally messed up these rolls are hahaha

[quasi flame]

thats whats nice about the digital. you can look at the pictures right away

[jagged lake]

Yeah

but I’m a tech nerd, so analog stuff is just COOL

I don’t care about the “retro” look, the mechanics/mechanisms/chemistry and all that is fascinating

Plus it’s just cool that’s it’s old

[quasi flame]

ew chemistry

[feral vector]

Ohhh okay

[feral vector]

I agree but also it's so magical

[jagged lake]

Camera, macro lens, normal lens, uv filter, bag for macro, lens caps were all free to me

[feral vector]

I was out with my Minolta the other day and it was a joy to use

[jagged lake]

[feral vector]

I probably missed focus

Although I was shooting f8 and up and mostly infinite focus

So hopefully I didnt

That roll could be double exposures. Very curious to see how it turned out

[jagged lake]

Didn’t realize I had 2x uv filters

Cool

[jagged lake]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeee

got my film and digital scans back

YIIIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-happy-yippee-creature-yippee-meme-yippee-gif-gif-1489386840712152603

Some of these are really terrible but a good number are pretty good and some are great

and now I see why ISO 400 isnt reccomended for low light indoor stuff LOL

BWIGGS

AAAAWHWHHWHHHWHW DA BOYYYYYYYYYYIIEEEE

so exciting!

sorry yall for photo spam i just love these

almost done

theres so many but im only doing like a third of them

@feral vector

AAAAAAAAA

spliced two of the error ones together because it was a partial double exposure

Weird, but neat

[elder ingot]

You're making me want a film camera

[jagged lake]

dewit

(don't, this is very expensive)

im at like $0.40/picture, before printing

probably looking at $0.60-$0.75 per shot after printing

$129.60-$162 for 216 photos/6 rolls/2 boxes of film

im not gonna print everything ofc

but its v expensive

Get a DSLR

Carter probably gets like $0.4/shot after printing because lotsa photography and film stuff there

Also

thats not including price of camera

lenses

extra supplies

bag

strap

etc

I got the camera and 2 lenses and a bag free

[feral vector]

Bruh 😂

[feral vector]

ahhh, i was confused what those were

[feral vector]

lol
it can be cheaper starting than a proper digital camera
although digital is more economical over time

[verbal laurel]

Yippeee

[verbal laurel]

WEll, call it a style

[verbal laurel]

now im confused

why my old film photos looks horrible

and those looks HD 4K

[verbal laurel]

welcome to photography

everything is expensive here

[verbal laurel]

come to Nikon side of force

we have the Z30- Z50 - Z5 (full frame, more expensive lenses)

new miroless good stuff

[quasi flame]

honestly i dont think it matters if you go nikon or canon. its question of what you like or what you started with

[jagged lake]

Apparently I got really good film?

I might go Sony eventually for Dslr

Closer to the lens mount I already have

[quasi flame]

so the most expensive of the 3 options?

[jagged lake]

Older Sony

Used

[quasi flame]

not sure that does you any good

[jagged lake]

Trying to not have to get all new lenses

[quasi flame]

still not sure they will be compatable with eachother

[jagged lake]

Actually wait no

different mount

Need adapter either way

[quasi flame]

i would have beed surprised if it would have fit out of the box

[feral vector]

It's completely average film. It's rebranded Kodak rated for 400 iso

Not bad film at all, kinda shows how much quality you can get out of modern budget film stocks

[jagged lake]

Ah alright

Maybe something the camera shop did then? Idk probably not

I didn’t even pay for higher quality scans

[feral vector]

And I've seen conflicting research on what the effective resolution of 35mm is, 4k for sure

Honestly scans above 20mp likely are unnecessary

[feral vector]

I honestly like the default tuning of a lot of lab scanners

They also can remove dust and minor imperfections

Home scanning takes some trial and error

[jagged lake]

Not sure what this is

I think it was 300dpi something

[feral vector]

It's good enough lol

[jagged lake]

1565x1037

It’s 1080p type of quality

[feral vector]

For jpegs it's fine

[jagged lake]

Yeah it’s fine

Good even

[feral vector]

It's dumb how much labs charge for higher quality scans

[jagged lake]

It’s like $2 more a roll there

I think I’ll do it next time

Then decide if I like it

[feral vector]

And even then a lot will only store your images for like 60 days

[jagged lake]

90 :)

And I have enough free time to be there usually within the week

Ofc this was first time

But still

I could

[feral vector]

Oh @verbal laurel @quasi flame @jagged lake my roommate has come into the possession of a hasselblad

It's beautiful

[jagged lake]

👀👀

[feral vector]

It's something like this

I need to take a picture of it when I get back home

[jagged lake]

I’m tempted to get some film for the Kodak a1 I found

BW film

Take pictures of new things to confuse people

[feral vector]

Shoot some B&w when you get the chance

[verbal laurel]

Make sense

[verbal laurel]

Uhm I think Canon and nikon have a better system on dslr

[feral vector]

Definitely canon or Nikon for dslr

[verbal laurel]

🥹

[jagged lake]

I will

[jagged lake]

Ooooh

How much

$19837467337

?

[jagged lake]

$40 Super zoomy telephoto

[feral vector]

To him? Free from grandmama

[jagged lake]

Wowie ❤️

Noice

Is it an old one?

[verbal laurel]

nice camera

but man

the neck must hurt after a while from looking down

XD

[feral vector]

Eh, we're all used to it from smartphones these days, right??

[verbal laurel]

make sense

[feral vector]

Oh wow
$17 is great
Even if it has a ton of dust or mold

[verbal laurel]

i love those videos from hasselblad where there record the image from the view finder

[jagged lake]

me, on discord, on a phone

[verbal laurel]

if the mold didn't dammage the coalting (if it has one to start with)

what a nice price

i wish something like that to my z5

damm expensive lenses

[jagged lake]

It doesn’t SEEEM to have mold? But totally could

[verbal laurel]

T-T

[jagged lake]

I can probably pay the store to clean it

[verbal laurel]

yeap

[jagged lake]

So cheap that it wouldn’t matter

[verbal laurel]

or even more funny

DIY

[feral vector]

For $15 to whatever it's worth the risk

[jagged lake]

Mhm

[feral vector]

Fancy duck

[verbal laurel]

i agree

[quasi flame]

not as yummy tho

[feral vector]

[feral vector]

Scans are done
I have editing to do the next few days whooo

[low fox]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-cry-gif-2662011466033021249

[jagged lake]

Lens arrived

And I think I know why it’s a day late

That looks highly suspicious

[jagged lake]

Yay….. 4 broken blades and no mount

Or is that just a weird mount

@feral vector do you by chance know if this is a mount or just a thread and if so what kind

[elder ingot]

Those look scuppered

[jagged lake]

Huh

Is that a Britishism

[elder ingot]

Yes

Originally used on Pirate ships

[jagged lake]

Ah

[feral vector]

Refund

[verbal laurel]

oh shit

[verbal laurel]

i mean

you can try fix it

but now we know why it was so cheap

[jagged lake]

Nobody bid on it because $20 shipping

It looks totally fine in pics

And said used and functional

[feral vector]

Could have been banged up in shipping

Rainbow at work today

[jagged lake]

Doesn’t explain missing part tho

[feral vector]

@jagged lake so this happened

[jagged lake]

oh?

[feral vector]

Home development soon tm

[jagged lake]

@feral vector looks like eBay is giving me a refund :)

Or the seller is

Can’t tell if it’s seller or not, either way I’m getting money back. I don’t see anything about them wanting the lens back, so I guess I look into getting it repaired.

I think I’ll take it to the shop, see if they can fix it for me or show me resources on how to do it myself.

Also to see if there are adapters for it

Unless the seller wants it back

[feral vector]

I wouldn't spend a ton on getting it repaired

[jagged lake]

I know

But some

[feral vector]

Might be more valuable to try taking it apart yourself and cleaning it

Good practice lens that if you fuck up won't be a problem

[jagged lake]

idk how to fix this

But fair points

[quasi flame]

Yeah that does not look right. Looks like some of the segments slipped out of whatever track they should be on

[jagged lake]

Yup

[quasi flame]

That might actually be fixable though. The tough part will be doing it without bending anything

[jagged lake]

Already bent :/

[quasi flame]

Well then what's the worst you can still do to it

[jagged lake]

Very true

I think I’ll try it

[quasi flame]

I mean it doesn't work right now right?

[jagged lake]

Right

Also eBay seller messaged me saying keep it

Cool

[verbal laurel]

nice

[verbal laurel]

you just have to open

but to open you will need

one of this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaNGjxv6Zzo&ab_channel=SangueSuoreFoto

[verbal laurel]

but before you fix it

would be nice take some shoots with that cat eyes lens

[jagged lake]

Oh maybe

But I also have no mount

Can’t tell what it is

Maybe m42

Still have to force myself to finish editing this batch

[wise patrol]

[feral vector]

Yes!

I was trying to be sneaky with it too

Autofocus is very useful 😂

[wise patrol]

You did such a great job!!

It's SO good

[wise ember]

[verbal laurel]

Metalic birbs

[wise ember]

Great shots!

[wise ember]

Thank you! They're taken from Boston, the C17 Canada Air Force, SAS & JetBlue E190, was there recently on a vacation

considering I'm from Norway hehe

[wise patrol]

Oh that's awesome!

[elder ingot]

If I lived closer to Pittsburgh International then I'd be going there often to take pictures of the planes

[wise ember]

it is a fun hobby even though it sounds boring to the casual photographer, its very rewarding specially if you get something rare or the perfect shot (night shots and so on)

this is probs my sharpest night shot when the plane is actually flying, out of all my other attemps came blurry

[elder ingot]

SR-71 👀

[deft garden]

It was so amazing to see it in person. I was lucky to be able to hear Brian Shule speak on the SR-71 and finally seeing it was a cool full circle.

[wise patrol]

oooo that's a sick photo! whoa

[deft garden]

Thank you!

[verbal laurel]

that is

SICK

So you seem to be a fan of telephotos huh?

[jagged lake]

Lengthy

I got the telephoto

Yayyy

Already got some ok bird pics and stuff

[feral vector]

Mm telephoto

Controversial (?) take, but 24mm is too wide for a main lens on phones

[elder ingot]

My S24U has a 24mm main lens

[feral vector]

Most phones are in this range for a main lens

I think it's too wide

35mm or 50mm equivalent would be my preferred

[elder ingot]

Well here's all the cameras on it

[icy river]

960 FPS?!?!

[elder ingot]

Yeah. But it's ultra slow motion basically

That's a new setting

[jagged lake]

Ok uhhh yeah you’re right I am

I now have 50mm prime, 35-70mm zoom, 100-300mm telephoto, and 80-200mm macro

Oh and a broken 400mm telephoto

[verbal laurel]

big

[jagged lake]

Yes

[verbal laurel]

telephoto is amazing

i would like a 600 mm on mine phone

[verbal laurel]

it make sense 24 have 200mm,

saddly most telephotos lenses aren't that good

[feral vector]

Give me a 6mm

Nikon 6mm f2.8

[jagged lake]

Isn’t that the one that sees behind itself

[verbal laurel]

wow

[verbal laurel]

nice view

My dad has a few DSLRs. He takes photos of concerts, along with some local running/bike races and such.

I'll have to send some of the pictures I've taken sometime..

[jagged lake]

I neeeeed

To get

A dslr

[quasi flame]

do it

[elder ingot]

If they weren't so expensive I'd get one

[quasi flame]

something used is probably your best option

[elder ingot]

Probably

I do have a camera. But it's not DSLR

Canon PowerShot something

It is not very good

[verbal laurel]

Time to take some night photos

[elder ingot]

Holy shit

[verbal laurel]

Hehe

Sunset today was amazing

[elder ingot]

@verbal laurel

[verbal laurel]

cloudy

but nice view

[low fox]

Hehe

Would've been a super cool wedding picture though

That spot

[verbal laurel]

yeap

i was lucky

a tractor working on the sugar cane plantation was passing by

so it trow alot of dust in the air

that is why i got to see those sun rays

[low fox]

Hahaha nice

Do you just grab your cam everywhere?

[verbal laurel]

of course, my nouse was full of dust

[low fox]

Or do you purposefully travel with the cam

With intentions to snap

[verbal laurel]

is a private country club

so is ok to walk around with the cam

the probablem is on my city, so normally i just take the cam with me when i im with more people

just in case

[verbal laurel]

oh

[low fox]

Do you ever take videos with your DSLR?

[verbal laurel]

i use a miroless

but sometimes

nikon Z5 have a really big problem on videos at 4k

if you move the camera a little more fast, you get a jelly effect

and that sucks, because even normal walk can rune your video t-t

https://youtu.be/eM3hm04oWwc?si=StWmfo4WXGQ38MWo here a sample

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko0lAGK-chs&ab_channel=ChristopherFrost im dreaming about this lense

aaaaaa

[verbal laurel]

the z5 have more definition

[verbal laurel]

but he zoom on the s22, HELPS ALOT

would nice if manufactures add a more good zoom lens on the phones

[verbal laurel]

where cow film photos ?

[feral vector]

I literally haven't done anything aside from sleep and work the last 4 days

[verbal laurel]

Oh ;-;

[wise patrol]

I love this photo, whoa

[royal folio]

its been a while since i visited. the white/blue combo is quite mesmerising indeed. let me see if i can find more online tho

[royal folio]

fun fact the area is called "Governor's beach" and its named after the british colonial governors who used to frequent the area for their recreational activities.

[quasi flame]

black sand beaches are also really nice

[royal folio]

Cyprus has golden sand beaches mostly but there are some with greyish in larnaca. i was there yesterday night but didnt get any pics of it lol

[quasi flame]

i havent done the post processing for any of the other pictures from that beach

[verbal laurel]

this is really ggood

[jagged lake]

Dev time soon

the one in the canister is the one I accidentally rewound while loading

[feral vector]

Lol you did what now

If you're taking it to the lab they should be able to fish out the leader for you

[jagged lake]

Yeah I’m gonna ask them

[jagged lake]

shtahhhp I’m just a beginnerrrrrrrrr

[icy river]

That’s what..

Nevermind.

[jagged lake]

No.

Bad goon

[icy river]

🤣

[royal folio]

oh i got another one for you. not my pic but i think you'll like it

Blue lagoon, Paphos, Cyprus

at times there's an effect of boats floating above water

[jagged lake]

They fixed it in 30 seconds

[jagged lake]

Got 7 more rolls of assorted stuff

Phoenix 200, colorplus 200, gold 200 x2, hp5 400, Fuji 200, Fuji 400

[feral vector]

what is color max 200

color plus 200??

[jagged lake]

yeah sorry

confuse

ultra max/color plus lol

I got color plus not ultra max

[feral vector]

yeah lol

so ColorPlus 200 and Gold 200 are basically the same thing

Ultramax is effectively Gold but at 400 ISO

Although I prefer the look of gold slightly

(UM is useful when you need faster film of course)

Fuji 200 and Fuji 400 are just rebranded Gold and Ultramax these days

HP5 is reddit's favorite black and white film

Phoenix is the newest color film on the market

(a true new emulsion, not rebranded kodak)

[jagged lake]

Isn’t there also gold 400?

[feral vector]

Not anymore

[jagged lake]

Yeah the guy said there’s a little color difference so I’m just gonna try both and see what happens

[feral vector]

Gold 400 used to be a thing but was retired

[jagged lake]

Oh ok

[feral vector]

Ultramax is derived from gold

[jagged lake]

Can still get it online I think

[jagged lake]

Yeah that’s what he said and I saw an example, seems cool

[feral vector]

Ultramax is the name but it is effectively "Gold Max"

[jagged lake]

really? Ok I thought they were their own thing, especially with the cooler colors

[feral vector]

you might also be able to find new old stock of gold 400

[feral vector]

Some reports suggest it is a fuji supplied substrate with kodak emulsion

but its now made in USA

there is still circulation stock of Fuji Superia 400 made in japan

[jagged lake]

Cool

[feral vector]

but fuji stopped production recently

it sucks

[jagged lake]

I alllllmost got some cinestill but not yet

[feral vector]

Cinestill 400D is a bespoke product for Cinestill

the other emulsions are cinema film with remjet removed

there are a lot of competitors that are effectively the same thing

but 400D is produced without remjet for cinestill

[feral vector]

why french

[jagged lake]

?

[feral vector]

😭

[jagged lake]

Because Canada????

[feral vector]

canada L

[jagged lake]

Lots of things have French labels here

Eng/fr/spanish

[feral vector]

assuming those say Made in USA on them, they're effectively kodak film

[jagged lake]

I ended up with a lot of 200 ISO, we shall see how it goes

Defo not much if any indoor lol

[feral vector]

shoot the phoenix on a sunny day

[jagged lake]

I’ll be in Florida too

Sooo bright

so yeah

[feral vector]

my condolences

[jagged lake]

Why

[feral vector]

humid

mosquitos

[jagged lake]

these are made in USA yes

Kodak Fuji

[jagged lake]

I will be carried away

overall $75 for 7 rolls, seems pretty decent, could be better or worse

But now I have 9 rolls to go through :)

[feral vector]

man I am spoiled

I can get gold for < $10/roll

[jagged lake]

niiice

How much exactly

And where

Also if I average out everything I’m at $0.68/shot, yikes

[feral vector]

This will go for 15% off at some point and I will stock up

local shop

plus no sales tax

I should get this when it comes back in stock

[jagged lake]

lil edit, idk if it’s good or not but it looks cool

Left is edit right is og

removed the haze and the “green filter”

I see what yall mean, Fuji is very green

[jagged lake]

show off

lol

Good job tho

Okay I managed to edit 4 photos last night

My last roll was so frickin dusty when I scanned

Taking 10 minutes to edit out all the dust and marks per photo

[wise patrol]

I love these so much, ohmygoshhhh

[jagged lake]

lots of pictures of people and identifiable places in my recent rolls so I will not be posting most of it, but they did turn out really well for the most part

Some were really bad tho

How about accidentally setting a full second shutter speed in broad daylight

Good deal on the lens

$10

And I cleaned it - no internal dust or fungus

Works perfectly

[limber tartan]

Why would there be fungus in a camera lens?

[jagged lake]

storing in humid environments

idk

its a thing that happens

[ember plaza]

i think i know this wreck, whats its name again ?

[royal folio]

this one its a shipwreck in paphos.

The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 October 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members – seven Albanians and two Egyptians.
The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter.

The EDRO III is more than 80 metres (260 ft) in length, weighing about 2,300–2500 tons. The ship lies on the sea rocks at an angle of 11–12 degrees near the sea cave area. Together with Germany's CIMEXTA Vessel Salvage Company, the task of safe removal of all diesel, hydrocarbons and marine pollutants on board the vessel, and making the hull watertight was awarded to a Cypriot marine salvage company. This was completed in October 2013. Due to the danger involved, nobody is allowed on the ship.

Peyia Municipality which is the regional administrative authority where Edro III resides has mentioned that there were several studies and attempts to tow the shipwreck, all of which were abandoned due to the difficulty of the project. There are officially no current plans for its removal.

[ember plaza]

beatiful stuff man !

[royal folio]

another pic, not mine

[ember plaza]

yeah saw that

[royal folio]

My favorite and most emotional picture was this one I took back in Oct. 2015. Not with a dslr, just using my phone. It's within walking distance of where I used to work. My office was situated in the "old town" of Nicosia, where mostly elders live in old houses, some dating back to the late 1890s. To paint the picture a bit more for you, people in this tiny neighborhood go to church, walk to the old coffee shop around the corner to play cards, chat, read their newspaper and enjoy their Cyprus coffee. Every workday for about 2.5 years, I witnessed a lovely couple in their late 80s, Mr. Giorgos (George) and his fabulous, glamorous wife Mrs. Maria, walking down the alley on their way home from church. They would always stop and greet us from the window (that green one that can be seen on the left) of our office. Just a simple gesture of waving their hand and wish for a good morning at 7ish am made our day. But what struck me and warmed my heart the most was that they were always, holding each other's hand. You might say that its because they were so old and couldn't walk well, but still, they were supporting each other with such love and romance that was so amazing to see. Sadly, a couple of weeks after I took this picture, I saw grandpa George walking by himself. He did not say good morning that day and we haven't seen him ever since. And yeah as I type this, I'm not ashamed to say that I shed a tear.

1980s SLR film camera

[limber tartan]

Hm

[jagged lake]

DO IT

[elder ingot]

I do not have money

[ember plaza]

What about those distribution blocks

Isn’t that paid in money

[elder ingot]

I have them already

They came in yesterday

[ember plaza]

No need to send a pic I already know how they look 😉

But you paid for them

With money

[elder ingot]

Yeah but I got them cheaper from Boba

[ember plaza]

Yeah I know that but it means you have extra money to pay for those things, I feel like I’m going in circles

[jagged lake]

If you don’t have $100 you should probably stop buying pc parts and things

Unless you do and you’re just using it for more important things

[ember plaza]

Yeah I’d consider a distri block a lesser important thing to a film camera especially for a cpu only look on flexible tubing, but hey that’s maybe just me

[elder ingot]

I have $12 left

[jagged lake]

80 watt max cpu with multiple distros and 360 rad :p

[jagged lake]

Dude. Quit.

That’s not a good thing.

Even I stop buying at $200 or so, usually more, and I don’t have bills even

[elder ingot]

I had more than that before subscriptions existed and Xfinity happened

[ember plaza]

By subscriptions do you mean nitro

[low fox]

That's not a flex you think it is

[elder ingot]

No

I have more than just that

[ember plaza]

Ever considered cancelling out the useless stuff

[feral vector]

Why don't deals like this exist in my area

[elder ingot]

Live in a small town

[feral vector]

I live in hipsterville

[elder ingot]

Yeah

Small town perks

I want to do Astro so bad but I would need to travel at least 70+ km to get out of pesky light pollution

[tepid spire]

belgium moment

i love looking at light pollution maps

[ember plaza]

Yes

[ember plaza]

Really tells us how awful humanity made things

The oil rigs are funny to see too

[tepid spire]

yeah lol

i went down to Rhodes in greece last summer

on the very south bit, theres a little facility

but a few km away from that, its just dark desert

i went there for 2 nights

specifically on this bit

rhodes has a reputation of being quite windy

[low fox]

So pweety

[tepid spire]

but its only on the west side, meaning i was pretty protected by the mountains

still, it wasnt completely calm

photo loading

heres with my phone

[ember plaza]

dayum still pretty good

but camera is still way better post pross wise too

btw what do you use to stack

[tepid spire]

Siril

processing in gimp

my broke ass cant afford PS (i have a 2800 eur pc next to me, shhhhhhhhhh)

[tepid spire]

actually that phone photo is raw

it says jpg, but theres no processing. if you look closely, theres a shit ton of artifacts from dead pixels

i used the "pro" mode on the phone. i think it was 13 sec exposure? lemme check

iso 1600, 20 sec exposure

[ember plaza]

broke ass

[verbal laurel]

Nicee

[verbal laurel]

Wow

[verbal laurel]

From my room

[tepid spire]

Awesome! I started out like that too i think

[verbal laurel]

Hey Unibun, how do you keep the colors from the stars?

My s22 ultra, shows colorfull stars

My nikon show a white /blue dot

-;

[verbal laurel]

Gimp is king

[tepid spire]

The purple ring is probably just aberration from the lens on your nikon

[verbal laurel]

The images was edit

[tepid spire]

Happens a lot with stars on lenses and refractors

[verbal laurel]

Oh

I think I know now

On my phone

[tepid spire]

Purple halos

[verbal laurel]

The stars are never in focus

[tepid spire]

Essentially, on your phone, not much you can do

[verbal laurel]

So they just look bigger

[tepid spire]

Yeah those are out of focus

[verbal laurel]

And that is why I'm seeing more colors

The stars are just bigger

Xd

3 years

[tepid spire]

Usually artifacts will appear regardless of focus

[verbal laurel]

Asking and searching

And turns out, it was just out focus

[tepid spire]

Focus shouldnt really cause purple halos

But also remember, stars arent white

They come in all sorts of colors

heres one of the first photos i took with my scope

[verbal laurel]

Yeap

[tepid spire]

Theres nothing wrong with the focus, nor do i have any chromatic aberration

[verbal laurel]

My problem is, I'm getting only white stars

[tepid spire]

Stars are just colorful

[tepid spire]

On your phone?

[verbal laurel]

On my camera

[verbal laurel]

This is my phone

[tepid spire]

Check white balance perhaps

[verbal laurel]

This is my camera

[verbal laurel]

Uhm

[tepid spire]

And maybe just longer exposures, or higher iso

[verbal laurel]

I will try

But

Many lights ;-;

[tepid spire]

Yeah light pollution sucks

[verbal laurel]

something that gets me, i loved this photo, but i accidently hitted the tripod

[tepid spire]

Ah nice

Look, they have colors

[verbal laurel]

U can see the trails get a little shifted

[verbal laurel]

Yeap

But longer expo

[tepid spire]

Yeah, i mean keep in mind, my photos are with a 650mm telescope

The camera has an FOV of 2 degrees

[verbal laurel]

Hehe

[tepid spire]

So objects are much closer, much brighter

[verbal laurel]

I'm thing what is cheaper

Buying a telescope

Or a zoom lens

[tepid spire]

Plus i also have guiding now, so 5 minute exposures

[tepid spire]

Zoom

[verbal laurel]

That is nice

[tepid spire]

Telescopes are a huge pain, if its unfamiliar territory

[verbal laurel]

Nice to know

[tepid spire]

The learning curve for using all the software is extremely steep

You should check out Nebula Photos

He has made some pretty awesome tutorials for getting serious

[verbal laurel]

The only stuff I never understand about astro

[tepid spire]

[verbal laurel]

Thinking better

[tepid spire]

For about 9 months, i was on that 2nd option

[verbal laurel]

Yeap

Photograph can get more expensive

[tepid spire]

Not because i couldnt afford anything else, but simply because i needed to mature

[verbal laurel]

What a rabbit hole

[tepid spire]

Get used to the hobby and all that

[verbal laurel]

I'm on that

Do you think a 600 mm

Worth for astro ?

[tepid spire]

600mm lens is a lot

I wouldnt do that, because thats practically telescope territory

Try look at some 135mm lenses

Very recommended

Remember, things up there are HUGE

Rokinon is a popular brand, however quite pricey with their lenses

[verbal laurel]

What about 180?

I'm thinking 180-600

So I can use to take some birds photos

[tepid spire]

Heres some photos off Google with 135mm

[verbal laurel]

Wowo

Uhn

So in theory

I could get photos like that

On my s22

[tepid spire]

Probably not S22, phone sensors are not really made for that

They are quite small, and dont have the flexibility nor capability of the sensors found in DSLR cameras, like your Nikon

Remember, DSLR cameras exist for a reason. Phones cant replace them

[verbal laurel]

Oh

Sad

[tepid spire]

But this is quite a big focal length. I also wouldnt recommend the zoom lenses, because precision is key in astrophotography

If you accidentally knock your lens, and it moves from... 180mm to 181mm, you might aswell start over

[verbal laurel]

Make sense

[tepid spire]

And the large focal length lenses are not viable. Again, most people would get a telescope here, and then a beefy mount

Refractors are great, but get the apochromatic ones

They use quartz glass iirc. It means you dont get chromatic aberration

They are more expensive, but also great

Something like Skywatcher 72ed

Loads of photos online, but research matters a lot

And i wouldnt jump in the deep end already

Stay with what you have, dont buy something, if you are unsure how parts work
