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!

Waterfront in Docklands Melbie. | Lebin Photo, Event and Wedding Photographer in Melbourne and Malaysia

Panorama, Docklands Melbourne Waterfront. Lebin Photo, Your Event and Wedding Photographer in Melbourne and Malaysia

Hi all, 
This is an panorama I did back in Melbourne. It was made by 5 part of photos and snitch together later on during post production. 


If were asking me to do it again, I think I will give it a go, but with a different approach. 

This pano was taken with ultra wide angle lens attached on camera without any filter. In fact, I forgotten to bring tripod while doing this shots. Set to Manual, guess the exposure, set it 30 sec ( longest shutter I should do apart from Bulb mode ) and shoot on the ground. If there were any chance to take this again, I will try to remember bring my tripod as well as my remote trigger and filters. 
But overall, I am quite satisfied with these result. Nice weather on that day helps heaps. 

A few more photo taken about the same time:

Zombie Family took part in the parade as well. I like the zombie baby. Zombie_shuffle_2012_Photography_lebin_photo_Your_event_wedding_photographer_Melbourne_Malaysia_01

I knew we are now in 2013, but I still wanted to post up some photo where I took during last year Melbourne Zombie Shuffle Parade. 

The parade was held on 28 October 2012. Annual event happen in Melbourne. It was totally a fantastic chance for fellow photographer to train their photographic eye. It started afternoon 2.30pm (the weather is quite hot!). Everyone was ready near REB after lunch. 


All the participants are very photo friendly. Some of them even pose for photo. 
The range of their age also very board, there are small baby till some senior citizen members. 



Although I knew that my exam was around the corner, I did not miss this opportunity of photographing large event happen on the street. (yes, street photography is my fav, no control over the surrounding, or ambient, just snap what I could.)


Extra Information,
I was on a very simple set up: 
On camera flash with ultra wide angle, Canon Portrait Pic Style JPEG. (4,-1,0,1)
The reason I shooting Jpeg was running low of memory, I would like to try off camera flash or duo camera flash next time.
