How to shoot night scenes and starry sky with 135 film SLR

It can be said with certainty that you cannot photograph stars. With this cross-winding sensitivity, the stars will not be obvious no matter how long the exposure is.

Why, at 200iso, it’s probably difficult even for you to use 1.4 aperture. Generally, when shooting stars, it is best to use a shutter speed no slower than 15 seconds, otherwise small star trails will form. However, the sensitivity is too low and requires a long burst, so you cannot shoot stars. It won't work if you take pictures of star trails. Because the ISO is too low, it is estimated that the movement of the stars cannot be captured.

So to sum up, if you take pictures of stars, your roll will be wasted. You should better take pictures of landscapes and portraits. The film you use to take pictures of stars must be professional high-sensitivity film.

It is best to shoot stars digitally. Generally, the aperture is 2.8 or larger, the exposure is within 10 seconds, and the sensitivity is below 6400.

The star trail is also the maximum aperture, usually 30 seconds to shoot, and the sensitivity is fine. 800, and take hundreds of photos for post-production synthesis. Both shooting methods require manual focus!

The most important issue when photographing stars with film is exposure. An experienced person will see at a glance that 200iso is not interested in stars. . .
