Post your low light long exposures

[Scott Murray]

I tried without the reduction but my shots were pretty noisy. It might have been a coincidence but since I shoot with it enabled.

I have my dogs with me at night so it matters less that the cam is busy since the dogs keep me busy too.

Yes of course they will be noisy but you can do that in post, when speed matters disable them.

I will experiment a bit with and without the NR in that case. Do you use any special software/ plugins to handle the higher levels of noise?

I do my editing in LR

Too cloudy. That combined with snow and light pollution makes shooting horrible. Well, trying to get something out of the shots in post.

Obviously I have seen this done a lot but always wanted to try, got my chance last night.

All 30s, f7.1, ISO 100. A bit more planning next time I think.

Is the reason we can see the person spinning the sparkler (in the first 2) because a rear-curtain flash was used, or was there just a lot of ambient light?

 

[Lee532]

No flash, just ambient light

Tried to do a Scott Murray lightening capture, but all I got were some bright clouds just as the rain started to fall.

My first attempt at the Milky Way. Got a fairly clear sky last night, but was still dealing with light pollution from the condos. Not too bad under the circumstances I suppose.

First time doing light trails and lightning. Wasn't much of either out where I was, but I got a little bit of both.
