關於 银河摄影 攻略 (简略版)

Milky way Photography 银河摄影

一篇簡略的银河摄影介紹

上個月,我去了澳洲最南端的
塔斯馬尼亞州一趟。由於冬天日短夜長,拍攝主轴是夜晚星空的銀河。我也乘著假期稍微空闲,我發佈了几张以银河为重心的照片。结果,不少朋友开始对银河摄影有兴趣,并想进一步了解。
所以,我写了这篇简短的介绍让一些想入门的朋友了解了解。

我在出发至塔斯马尼亚前,做了些功课,针对银河摄影做了点研究。由此,风景摄影真的不仅靠运气的,前制功课可不少。

如何拍银河照?
需要器材:
1. 可长曝的相机(需有M操作,荧幕光请不要max )
2. 超广镜头,或广角镜 (转成手动模式,对焦于无限远/ 关闭防手震功能)
3. 脚架 
4. 离机控(有线/无线都可以)
5. 电筒 (最好是可以调整光度,以及thungsten白平衡)

设定: 
- 建议重镜头最大光圈开始试拍 (有些镜头是f/1.4,f/2.0, f/2.8, 或 f/4,低 为佳)
- 感光指数,ISO 建议从 1600 开始试拍。
- 白平衡 - 建议手动 3200K 至 4200K 之间 
- 曝光時間 - 这有点复杂。 
要拍到一张扎实也没星轨的银河照,需要这个 600,除于 该焦距于35mm传统底片的焦距。
  • canon apsc ,  x 1.6 
  • nikon, sony, pentax, fuji, x1.5 
  • mirco43, x2.0 
  • FX or FF, x1.0 
以这个程式计算,会换的 
  1. Canon APSC+ 11mm, 最长曝光-33秒; 
  2. 其他APSC +11mm,最长曝光-36秒;
  3. FX/FF + 16mm, 最长曝光-37秒;
  4. FX/FF + 24mm, 最长曝光-25秒。
Picture
提供参考
普遍上,我个人的设定是 24mm 在 全幅机上,f/2.0,ISO1600, 25秒  (供参考)
数值是可以改变的,看看histrogram,太暗就提高ISO,太亮,可以降低快门或ISO。
如果感觉不够锐利或暗角
太多,把光圈缩小一些。
如果放大发现有明显星轨,可能是脚架不稳,也可能需要把曝光时间简短。
如果觉得太多噪点,那就算了,后制可以该,如果
ISO银河的样子很难出现。


接下来,拍摄银河,或星空 的时间地点选择?  click read more.

Short intro about milky way photography

Milky way photograph by lebin from tasmania hobart
Side of the Street, Tasmania, Australia. Milky way photography with stars by Le Bin Photo. Between Port Arthur and Richmond in Hobart.
This will be a very short introduction about some basic on milky way photography. 

Recently, I had published some of my milky way photos taken from Tasmania. Then, a few friends of mine started to show interest on them, and would like to know more about it. I'd been motivate to write a short introduction on how, where and when to get milky way photos. 

Few months before my trip to tassie, I had done intensive amount of research to be arm with basic knowledge about milky way photography. Hence, I'll like to share some of  them with you here today.

How to get a milky way photo. 
Tools:
1. Camera allowed to do long exposure.  - turn down screen brightness, if you have one. 
2. Ultra wide angle, or wide angle lens.  - turn to manual focus, focus at infinity 
3. Tripod   (need!!!) 
4. Cable release (optional)
5. Small torchlight  (even better if there were tungsten balance and dim-able )

Setting: 
- start from your maximum aperture (can be f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, or f/4 , lowest as possible. )
- ISO 1600 is a good starting point, to be adjust after that. 
- recommended white balance set about 3200K to 4200K 
- SHUTTER SPEED. 
in order to get a SHARP milky way photo, 
there is a constant number of 600, divided by focal length equilibrium on 35mm sensor/film.
if you`re using 11mm on canon apsc camera, will be ideal to set shutter speed at 34 sec (max). 
if you`er using 12mm on nikon / pentax / sony / fuji apsc camera. will be 33 sec. 
if you`re using 16mm on Full Frame camera, will be advice to set at 37 sec. 
if you`re using 24mm on Full Frame camera, it is 25 sec. 
These are maximum of shutter speed before get obvious drag when zooming in. 

My normal setting for 24mm on full frame, is ISO1600, f/2, 25sec  (just an example)
if you see in histogram, it is too dark, pump up your ISO.  
if you think it look soft, close down your aperture. 
if look too vignette at the corner, stop down as well.
if there are trail, try reduce shutter speed.
if too noisy, JUST LEAVE IT!

Mamiyaflex C2 TLR Experience | Le Bin Photo

1/25/2013

Comments

 
Picture
My very first frame from Mamiyaflex C2 with 105mm 3.5 Lebin Photo, Your Event and Wedding Photographer in Melbourne and Malaysia

Check out more film photo on Le Bin Photo Film Collection.

Im so glad had the chance to touch and get poison by a medium format camera. 
yes, It is Mamiyaflex C2 TLR with 105mm 3.5 lens. 
First, let's understand more about the camera. This babe is a medium format camera. 
Well, what does 'medium format' mean? 
As usual, I am shooting with 135 film, the width of the film is 35mm, as a designation for the cassette for 35 mm film , and it was the more economical way of shooting for both hobbyist and professional shooter. Each rolls could be 24 frames or 36 frames. 
For Medium format, it is 120 film, the width of the film is 56mm ( as shown, the film size is so much larger, and without any grid at the side ) , it enable more detail capture in a frame and giving more control of Depth of field. It is quite common format for commercial studio shooter as well as architectural kind of photography.  

How many frame (exposure) do you think it can take each roll? 
see below. 


Picture
This is a comparison of 135film and 120film. on your left is the 135 and your right is 120. the width is actually a lot difference. Photo from wikipedia website
120 film allows several frame sizes: 

120 frame sizes  
Name    Aspect ratio     Nominal size(mm)    Exposures
6 × 4.5    1.35:1            56 × 41.5                   15 or 16 
6 × 6            1:1             56 × 56                      12 or 13
6 × 7       1.25:1            56 × 70                       10
6 × 8       1.37:1            56 × 77                       9
6 × 9       1.50:1            56 × 84                       8
6 × 12       2.1:1            56 × 118                     6
6 × 17          3:1            56 × 168                     4
Alright, that was a brief introduction into 120film. 
The one i was holding is 6 x 6 format, as shown, it appeared to be a square format.
It is a TLR, Twin Lens Reflex camera. It is a type of camera with two objective lenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective or "taking lens" (the lens that takes the picture), while the other is used for the viewfinder system, which is usually viewed from above at waist level. In addition to the objective, the viewfinder consists of a 45-degree mirror (the reason for the word reflex in the name), a matte focusing screen at the top of the camera, and a pop-up hood surrounding it. 
But, the subject will moved in opposite direction as it appear to be. It work as reversed 'left to right'  which making a bit harder to compose.

This took me quite some times to focus and frame. And the extreme Depth of field as well as very smooth out of focus really amaze me, even in the viewfinder itself.

Also, the 6 x 6 framing also very unique. A square frame changed the level of challenge using this Mamiyaflex little monster.

Also, in addition, I like the detail of the product. Medium format DO give you more detail as the film is bigger. Hence, a lot commercial photographer required Medium Format for their assignments.

Also, film is perfect for street photography. You can never pee on the photo! 
Film also have very good dynamic range. But it very between film.

Trying out macro/ minimum focus distance of the set. Aperture was set to f8, yet, I beat nothing. 
Seem like I need more practise on calculating DOF. 
Back to the blog for other post. 

In the nutshell, Medium format is totally a poison to me. Wish to own it one day. 
Special thanks to Eric for the camera.
