irandar Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Following the recipe of our own J.R., found here https://affinityspotlight.com/article/shooting-series-1-polaris-star-trails/ , I was happy to be able to come up with this result. Used here was a Canon 1100D, 50mm f1.8 lens, intervalometer (about 10 from our Chinese friends) set to 30s bulb and 10s pause. 50 photos made. Affinity really brought out some nice colors. Next time I will try better to center on Polaris and make 200 photos. Clear skies for all of us, Irving Dan C and mrs68tm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irandar Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hi folks, I made a screenshot video of how to use Affinity Photo for making star trails, according to JR's instructions. Here it is on Youtube https://youtu.be/7jfDtxcYZ-A The result below was made with the same camera-intervalometer setup but using 200 30s shots with 5s pauses. Editing used adjustment layers for brightness-contrast, color selection and HSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
