Thank You all for your positive welcoming to the site. I am looking forward to ya'lls guidance here. And a Shout Out to "railfanbill" of Las Vegas for his information. I am looking for Stellarium this morning. I also have the Photographer's Ephemeris to help setup all of my night shoots.
Thank You all for your help
The Black and White photo adds a sense of time or even timelessness that you cannot achieve with colour.
Hello ... I am Mike in Orlando. New to digital photography unless you count 6 years on a camera/phone. I've been shooting film off and on since 1960 when I got my first Kodak at age 12. Started astro-photography back in 2000 with film. Pain in the ass taking pictures at night then having to wait several days to see what I did wrong (and brother did I do stuff wrong).
Now I have a Nikon D610 and a couple of lenses (Rokinon 24mm and a 24-85mm kit lense) and am interested in night shots especially the Milky Way. Not afraid of landscape and portraiture either.
Looking forward to commiserating with like minded individuals.
