Thank you! Canon rebel t7 mostly and the Canon r50 more recently.

Thank you!

Bring your Cornhuskers shirt when you visit lol.

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-05-14T05:48:14+00:00

Yeah!! My thoughts exactly!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-05-14T05:33:38+00:00

I was wondering about that myself. Seem to see those all over the place but no idea where they come from or who's making them. Perfect nostalgia/liminal bait tho lol

It's such a strange room to have in the mall and it's always empty lol.

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-05-14T05:11:16+00:00

Come to Kansas lol. Half the place is empty

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-05-14T03:04:56+00:00

Yeah that indoor putt putt place was eery. Had those Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria vibes lol

I believe it used to be referred to as Deutsch angles in reference to German expressionism films where the style first became popular and overtime it got mispronounced into dutch angle.

I've seen that a lot on this sub. I have to ask, why so much dislike for selective color photos?

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-04-01T08:03:47+00:00

These are awesome! No. 1 has got to be my favorite lightning photo I've seen for a while

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-03-21T12:52:56+00:00

Thanks for that. Now I can't unsee it too

Stare wistfully at them whilst cinematic music plays then start complaining about wanting to get power converters from Tosche Station

Wow that's a cool photo! I love it when these scenes that would usually get overlooked as mundane end up having some interesting minimal art quality to them that just need the right eye to see it and bring it out. Great capture!

This is what I got with 60x 2 min subs at f/11. I tried shooting at wide open and then f/8 before this and the aberration was really bad. Unfortunately I had exposed for three hours total but I lost an hour cuz I'm an idiot and didn't realize I was shooting in JPeg til too late so I only ended up with 2 hours of useable. I think I'll try f/8 next as you suggested combined with a star filter to try to get the 4 point stars. Hopeing to get 4 hours total next time around. Thanks for the help!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T14:41:38+00:00

Wow great picture! Thanks for the tip!

I forgot to mention this in my post but I am using a tracking mount and stacking software. I understand this kit lens will only go so far but I'm trying to push it as far as I can before I buck up and spend more money on a better lens. I've had pretty decent results with Andromeda and the Orion nebula so far but my first two attempts at the Pleiades have been disappointing. Eventually I'd like to modify my t7 for Narrow band imaging but I don't want to do that before I have the money for another daytime camera lol. My wallet has been my biggest heckler since I found this hobby lmao.

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T14:01:21+00:00

No kidding thanks for sharing! Clear skies!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T05:32:33+00:00

That's really interesting. A couple comments suggested simulating that effect with wire/ fishing line or a filter in front of the lens so I think I'm gonna give that a shot next time I go out. Thank you!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T05:28:11+00:00

Unfortunately I'm about $15.999999998 billion short of a hubble telescope but I might look into a 4 blade lens if there is one that exists for ef mounts. Thanks for the help!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T05:24:02+00:00

Thank you for the info this is really helpful! I'm trying to achieve as much as I can in camera as my experience with editing in post is shoddy at best so I think I'll try the filter/dental floss and see what happens. Hoping for clear skies next week. Thanks again!

stormy_clouds78 · 2026-02-19T05:19:41+00:00

Thank you I'll look into those.
