Inventory of Galaxy Shooting Skills

1. First, use manual shooting mode M to preset parameters and control the exposure time to ensure that the stars will not become orbits. The rule of 500 can be applied, that is, the exposure time (seconds) is less than or equal to 500 divided by the lens focal length (mm).

2. Shooting around the moon in Emei at night, using the moon to fill the landscape, the natural light source is the most uniform and natural. Theoretically, it is ideal that the surface of the moon does not exceed 1/3, but moonlight will also affect the details of galaxies. The stronger the moonlight, the weaker the details of galaxies.

3. The actual situation is often limited by objective conditions. It may not be chosen at night when there is a moon in Emei, but sometimes it should be taken before the moon rises or after it sets. At this time, we can use lighting equipment such as headlights or flashlights to artificially fill the foreground.

4. Use different time periods (usually blue hours and nights) to shoot the late synthesis of starry sky and landscape. You can shoot the landscape after sunset first, then the starry sky after the silver heart rises, or you can shoot the starry sky first and the foreground at dawn.
