Ive decided to make a seperate topic for my photography, since in the "How was your day" section my picture of the moon got rather popular

So lets begin. ^^

I usually take space photos. Im quite new to the whole thing but Im actively enjoying it.

The Moon




Constellations:

Auriga, Perseus and a tiny bit of Cassiopeia (from left to right)


Ursa Major and its accompanying constellations


Cassiopeia over one of the large buildings near my place.

Jupiter and his moons

Jupiter on his own (Hard to get. With a camera- hence the blur. But the colours are there.)


and the last one for now, Arcturus.

So, I think its been long enough for me to post more in this topic, so here goes.

Ive decided to sky map a few of my photos :3










And a daytime photo of the moon

The best photo Ive gotten to date of Jupiter and his moons.

I dont have many new ones to show as the Skies been bad lately but this was one I forgot to upload with my last batch

Some more photos from yesterday of Mercurys transit across the sun :3

First contact








really puts into perspective how big the sun is.

New post! Nature related photos Ive taken








And some views of the local scenery

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment. ;w; Im somewhat surprised myself too.

Heres some more photos!

Hey! Your photos are really impressing. How do you manage to get such good pictures of the sky and the constellations? (not to talk about the planets)

Thank you!

For the planets and the sun: I use a very very big lens Its difficult to focus but when it does focus they come out great.

As for the constellations- I just use a normal default lens- but bring the shutter speed way down. The shutter it kept shut for around 20 seconds for each photo.

Wowie! this makes me wanna become a photographer! It looks so cool...
