I've been kicking around the idea of using film for night landscape work. Not only do you not have trouble with sensor noise on long exposures, but my 20/1.8 works out to what would be a 13mm on APS, and would therefore be my widest FOV.
What film do people recommend for doing night landscape work? Alternatively, is there a good/easy/cheap way to stack a bunch of (for example 10 second) exposures to get a much longer exposure with less noise and short star trails? It would be preferable for me to do this in lightroom, but I also have photoshop. In a related note, on Saturday night, driving down the coast, I noticed that it was a beautiful, clear, moonless night so I took a set of test exposures with the Rollei (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 minutes). When I took them in to get processed and scanned, I was told that Bay would scan at 16 bits on request. It'll be interesting to compare them with the test exposures I took with the K20. lrc -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
