Last pic is my favorite. If your car pics had a little more lighting they'd look a lot better, especially with the blue car (Not saying they're not good already).
Just got into photography but loving everything about it so far. Using Lightroom to post process.
Any critiques?
Thank you!
Much appreciated! Definitely something that I want to invest time/money/effort into.Your compositions are good. Keep working and editing and check out YouTube if you have any questions or here. Keep shooting [emoji]128074[/emoji][emoji]127997[/emoji]
Thank you for the feedback! Do you mean lighting as in the entirety of the picture or a certain aspect? and is that something that I could fix on those photos by processing?

Overall for just getting into it you've got good stuff man!

Focusing is one of the harder parts of shooting astro. Put it in manual focus, use the back screen to focus and zoom in on the focal point if your camera supports it. Pick a bright star and adjust your focus until it's as small as possible.
Also keep in mind the rule of 500 to get sharp shots. You don't want your shutter speed to exceed 500 / 35mm equiv. focal length, i.e. if you're shooting with a 12mm lens on a crop sensor, 500/18 = ~28 seconds max exposure to keep things sharp. If you go too long you'll get a little bit of star movement. Shoot wide open at whatever exposure time you calculate, then play around with your ISO until the exposure looks right.
I'm torn between 50mm and 85mm on a full frame.
Who doesn't like more bokeh with the compression from the 85?
I will be using the lens mostly for fashion, think instagram models.
In my mind, I'm thinking I'm just going to end up with both of them eventually.
Using the 85mm outdoors, and 50mm indoors.

Basically you want to divide 500 by your focal length to get the maximum exposure time you can shoot. If you exceed that time, then the stars will start to look fuzzy due to motion.Can you explain that 500 rule again?
Great find, will def try this out.Admittedly I didn't really look at the features of the Gnarbox but couldn't you buy something like this for ≈1/8th the price? Then put the money you saved towards your SSD/HDD of choice.
Edit: Reading some Amazon reviews, it seems more than adequate for file transfer/backup.
"TL;DR : This small cheap device plus a phone or tablet will allow you to transfer files between an SD card, a hard drive, and your phone/tablet in pretty much any way you desire, all while completely off-grid. Just don't expect to use it to screen dailies to a producer via internal WiFi streaming from your USB storage. As a means of replacing a computer for nothing more than file transfer when weight savings are a priority, look no further.
*UPDATE: Using the FileHub to transfer RAW files to my phone I have been able to successfully open and edit them in Lightroom Mobile, even with finicky Panasonic .RW2 files. I have not yet found a way to edit the .MOV clips on my phone, but I'm not sure my iPhone could handle 4k editing anyway, so that's fine for what I am trying to do."
Pixel XL doesn't have a micro SD card reader. I've considered getting a device that has a SD card reader but I would want something that can handle larger size images well and also has a great screen. I used to use my Kindle 8.9 HDX when I was getting the pics off of my old eyeFi memory card (which I may also consider buying) and it was great.For that Gnarbox why doesnt one just get an SD card converter and put the pics straight to your phone?
