Pic of the Week - Page 88
Ashton Windmill
Location: Ashton Windmill, Chapel Allerton, Somerset about an hour’s drive south west of our home. Windmill was lit with two flashs and a large torch. The star trails were captured a week later in Wales. This image was captured about 8:00pm using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkII camera with a Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 L lens. I used Liveview and 10x magnification to manually focus on the windmill. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, 20 seconds, f/5.6, ISO 400, and daylight white balance. The RAW processing, editing and saving the image was all done in Photoshop CS/5. The polar star trails were captured separately. Full details of how they were captured, processed and combined can be found in PhotoPlus issue 45. Click here to improve your photography ... on the Isle of Wight |
