jerryy got a reaction from MARRIEDGUY9 in Astro-photography (open thread)
Busy as a bee… Not far from Castor and Pollux in Gemini, actually just in the next constellation over to the “left” in Cancer, is Messier Object M44, The Beehive Cluster:
M44 is fairly easy to find visually or when using binoculars or small telescopes. This is the equivalent of 58 minutes of exposure.

I went yesterday to ask how much would it cost to check it and they said that it would be at least 50€ so I think I will use it without that 😅

Cropped a lot, just trying to get a vulture in the same frame as the moon. Looks weird, but it was fun trying to get the shot......70-300 XT-5.

jerryy got a reaction from Darkroom Dude in Invisible live view in mode M
What @abmet said, more information please!
Try this, set the ISO to 6400, the shutter speed to 1/250, and put the lens’ aperture switch to A. Go outside during the brightest time, around midday or early afternoon and see what you get.
The f-stop should be a large number, the lcd should show you the scene. It could be a little dark. Then try moving the aperture switch back, set the f-stop to wide open and try again. The image on the lcd should be brighter.
There is a setting to dim the displays’ brightness,

that may be affecting what you are (not) seeing.

Orion has plenty of interesting parts to see; nebulas, bright glowing stars and whatnot. Orion is not the only neat thing in that part of the sky, the Rosette Nebula is close by and it is certainly neat to see. But there is also a Cone, a Christmas tree and a little variable thing as well.
This is the equivalent of 112 minutes and lots of change worth of exposure.
NGC 2261, Hubble’s Variable Nebula is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, who also has the big space telescope named after him:
https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/1999/35/904-Image.html
The Cone Nebula, NGC 2264, is actually much larger than the part seen above, the part in the images is what gives it its name:

NASA had some fun with the Christmas Tree Cluster (The batch of stars in the “lower” part of the Cone Nebula), they rotated the image upside down — or right side up if you view it in the land down under — x-ray colored the nebula green and animated the Cluster’s stars. They have a player on their page:

jerryy reacted to BobD in Canon EF 400 f5.6L on my X-T4 with the K&F EF-FX A/F adapter
The adapter has arrived and I've been testing it on the X-T4 with the EF 400 f5.6 and so far I can't really fault it. Autofocus speed and accuracy is excellent, albeit tested only on single point focus, which is what I use 95% of the time. I can't comment on face or eye AF as I haven't tried it and I'm not a big fan of either anyway - just not features that I use. So far the lens is 'fixed' on its widest aperture of f5.6 but that has not been an issue for me at all so far and I have noticed during experimenting with camera settings that it has stopped down by itself for reasons that I am unsure about to be honest however it's very early days so it may be that there is potential to be able to alter the aperture on demand if I actually want or need to. I have yet to find any issues to make me wish I had gone for a considerably more expensive adapter with aperture ring. Attached jpeg, which has been through Topaz Photo AI and cropped, shows what this combination of lens and adapter can do.

jerryy reacted to bijutoha in Hi everyone, I'm thrilled to join this community
Hi,
I'm excited to join this forum! I'm a beginner photographer passionate about capturing the beauty of natural landscapes. I'm particularly drawn to photographing serene scenes like riverbanks, sunsets, and mountains, focusing on capturing the natural environment without people or animals.
I'm eager to learn and grow as a landscape photographer, and I hope this forum will be a valuable resource for me.
To kick things off, I'd love to hear from all of you!
What are your favorite natural landscapes to photograph, and why?
Do you have specific tips or techniques for capturing captivating images when people and animals are absent?
What gear and settings do you find most effective for photographing these scenes?
I'm excited to share my photography journey, learn from your experiences, and contribute to this vibrant community.
Thanks
