Unveiling The Beauty Of Day And Night Skies: 16 Photographs That I Took

i wrote under every night shot exifs and technique that is used. and i wrote here under the post it self an explaining of the techniques. what do you want more? an explaining of every step i do in 10 to 20 hours of postprocessing? one question who is doing that here in bored panda? you get here much more explaination as in the most other posts. Listen. no creator wanna have the feeling that he need to say sorry for his pictures. but that seems to be there tenor here. thats why you can see that here as my last post. i m really done with that platform. to many "experts" here knows better as me how my pictures are done.... https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/expl-62c7c8820909b.jpg

Astro photos are ALWAYS "digital artwork" and photoshop. it is dark in the night. There are many things todo to make all of this visible. i m shooting with an astromidfied camera on a star tracker. all image are red shifted and the foreground is motionblured. I m so tired of that discussion. this is for sure my last post here

Unveiling The Beauty Of Day And Night Skies: 16 Photographs That I Took

honestly. how you can know that. you come across here and tell i m using photoshop skys and that i m a beginner? thats b******t! https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/35awards2020_en-2-62bd621586945.jpg

If you are branding my images as fake without any background information, then you should take the time to listen to my explanation of how these images are made. if i offer you one. do you not think so? the nigh sky is looking like that a million years before you born and it will look like that a million years after you die. there is not much that changes. the only thing that change is my editing style, my composition and the 8 little planets in our solar system. and mybe here and there some clouds

You do excellent work. People have a weird idea of what "photoshopping means". Personally, I was wondering how you solved the long exposure issue with earth rotation. My guess is multiple (longish) exposures. Do you explain your technique someplace? Just curious, I love long exposures, but I have little time. Most of my work is product photography for my clients and for my wife's Etsy shop (it's glass and a nightmare to shoot). I am just fascinated by astrophotography and you do it very well.
