Astrophotography

written by Mohammad Yassine @nerdybeardo

 

Beyond clouds
and sky.

We all see space every night.

We’ve all thought about it too.

And these days, you can look further and better than ever before. Then also capturing photos that are uniquely yours.

Space is a lot closer than it once was.

Technique over tools

Telescopes and cameras can get highly specialized and expensive.

But there’s no need to get all those gadgets.

A simple camera, tripod, and star tracker capture stunning images on their own.

It’s more about learning the techniques to get a good photo and taking your time with it.

Editing it your way

Astrophotography has many elements of traditional photography.

Moe puts it best: you’ll see a bit of the photographer in every astrophoto.

The most important part is to “stay true to the data.”

No adding elements. Or bringing in fiction.

Other than that, how you represent the data is up to you.
