Description
Nikon D800 with Tokina 17-35Bismarck, ND
Trying some light painting
A light layer of clouds rolled in and kinda ruined my startrails. I tried to salvage the night with something decent
It was definitely below freezing, My new RRS tripod had frost on all the legs!!

is that line of three stars near the middle third of the edge Orion's Belt?
how long was the exposure on this one?

It sure is...30 seconds or the stars would start to trail. Iso 2000

*grin* thought so. have you tried doing Infrared photography yet?

No, I dont think my D800 will capture Infrared light that well. Doesnt one need a converted camera?

i think that's usually the case. you might be able to use a dedicated filter [link] that will do the job well enough (if i read the article correctly). A camera specifically calibrated for IR would in theory render better and more accurate results, but i personally do not have that rather expensive option to add to my kit. Would still like to try this someday, since i love the surreal effects it produces.

Views like these make me so jealous! Being in a place with a significant amount of light polution, I've never seen the stars as beautiful as these in the night sky.

Amazing! I love how the stars stand out so bright despite the clouds. I love how you captured Orion and Sirius, and the red glow of the star Betelgeuse is stunning
Are you using a special setting in order to capture starry skies so clearly? My camera is not professional, but it doesn't even manage to focus on the stars :/

I manually focus my lens to infinity. Settings are around 30 seconds, low f/stop, and adjust the iso accordingly

Oh I see now, thanks so much for the info
I will try ISO 800 and f/4, it approaches your settings and shutter speed as much as possible
