STACKS N CRACKS PHOTO SHOOT ISO
If you find you are using a higher ISO like 6400 and above, it would be wise to get more shots. Like I said, the more shots you get the better. That is a pretty good chunk of data, but you can still get some more and get an even cleaner shot. If you dial in that you want 7 shots with a 1 second interval in between, that would be 112 seconds spend shooting. So let’s say according to the NPF Rule you are going to have a 15 second shutter speed at f/2.8 and ISO 3200. Use your intervalometer to figure out how long the sequence will take. Focus on shooting anywhere between 2 minutes to 30 minutes worth of shots, depending on what and how you are shooting. To keep things simple for this post though, I do not think that is something to worry about. But, there is a point where diminishing returns kicks in. The more shots you take, the cleaner the output stacked image will be. Doing this process manually can be annoying af. If your camera does not have a built-in intervalometer however, I really do highly recommend getting one as it will make shooting stacks fully automated. But, no pressure to get one of these if you have the function built in, use what makes you feel the most comfortable. Plus, I can always see how many more shots are left in the stack. I feel like the interface is a lot easier to control my camera versus the built-in ones. I personally still prefer using an external intervalometer. Having one of these will greatly assist in this process. #realintervalometershavecurves Some cameras today even have this built in. They come in all different shapes and sizes. You may have seen or heard of something called an “ intervalometer.” Complicated fancy word I know, but basically this is just a programmable remote that can control your camera’s shutter. Like crank it up to sandpaper levels and just do a 3 second shot. These don’t need to be long, just a few seconds with a ridiculously high ISO to understand your framing will do. You will really want to make sure you nail your composition before you begin this process, so take a few quick test shots before shooting your stack sequence to ensure you will be happy with the outcome. It’s like standing in a line at a coffee shop or something. This means leaving your camera in the same position for minutes at a time. But with stacking, you will need to setup your shot and shoot several exposures of it over time. In other words, with single exposures, you can shoot one composition and move on to another immediately thereafter. Stacking requires you stick to a shot for a few minutes. I will first be going over the core basics and describing parts of the process, then I will put everything altogether and summarize.
(Oh yeah and pls shoot RAW ok) Now, let’s move onto stacking, from start to finish.
STACKS N CRACKS PHOTO SHOOT HOW TO
Stacking is becoming more common with computational photography today, but it has been around since the film days of astrophotography.įirst of all, if you have not done so already, please read my post on how to find and shoot the Milky Way to familiarize yourself with the techniques we will be discussing here.
Some phones even have sophisticated programming to compute this process for you. The technique requires more work, but as you can see the results speak for themselves.
