Night Sky – Stars – Photo

“Night Sky – Stars”

I’ve decided to call this image Night Sky – Stars, because that was kind of the overwhelming feeling I had as I took the photo.

There seems to be so much sky at night and when it is clear all there seems to be is stars in that sky.

Technically

Pretty simple. My camera, the Sony a77 was on a tripod. The 16-50mm lens was set to 16mm and f2.8. The shutter-speed was about 4 seconds or so. The iso was 3200.

I was playing around with a feature on the a77 that takes a bunch of pictures at a high is and then combines them to reduce noise. So the image was shot as a jpeg… but it ended up pretty clean.

A bit of work in Lightroom, white balance, contrast, white and black points, and that was about it.
