One more Stonehaven Widefield

[Blackbrazen]

Still working on photos I took at New Year...and learning a lot as I muddle my way through! The LP from the town was pretty awful, but I'm quite happy with the amount of detail that I managed to tease out. The memorial itself was horribly affected by the processing, so I layered in an image of it from another frame captured at the same time.

All feedback gratefully received and thanks for looking!

My kind of photo, really nice. What were the details?

[Blackbrazen]

Thanks!

I used a Canon 50D with 17-55 IS USM. Background frame was a single 25 second exposure at 6400 ISO stacked in DSS with darks and bias frames. The foreground was cropped from a similar frame at 1600 ISO. All of this is still very much trial and error though!

Very Nice job. Beautiful picture.

How spectacular it would be with longer subs and an LP filter, the framing of the memorial is fantastic. I take it its in Japan?, but it could be Saxon Britain !

More of the same please

[Blackbrazen]

You're absolutely right, with a LP filter and an Astrotracker/Polarie or something like that, it would be much better. Gotta work on that!

This isn't Japan though. It's Stonehaven War Memorial south of Aberdeen taken when I was home at New Year.

Very nice, well framed with some great foreground interest

Great image, and something I recognise for once. Had lunch sat by the memorial whilst ambling back from Dunnottar last year on holiday.
