Thank you SKR.

That's a nice little bird.
* Isolate your subject
* Your subject is under exposed (2nd image)... Green leaf is brighter enough to disturb...

BTB, one watermark is enough and leave the second water mark (green one).

@skr - first one is very nice:cool:. the dark coloured branch really brings out attention towards the subject .try to shoot RAW to avoid clipping to some extent.

I thought of uploading then I totally forgot to do so.

This is a composite of 20 (30 sec) frames.

SX130| Av - f/3.4| Tv - 30 sec| ISO - 1600

Used Deepskystacker to stack and some tweaking (don't remember what I did).

@nac why only 20 frames, battery died or your patience? :p

I read about 15 frames is enough to avoid noise so the lesser no.

Even if I wanted to take 100s of frames to get celestial pole visible, we don't have electricity for over night processing :( Yeah, it take hours to process them.

With full battery I can take about 200 frames and this will take about 8hrs to process... :blink:

For better result they suggested to use RAW. So I can't resize and save 'em RAW. We can take small images W or S, but then there ain't as many stars as in L.

@mastervk.... Pretty 'Kitty' :)

@nac.... The stars are possible only with 'hack' I believe, not with a normal sx130. One query though, while letting the camera capture, with exposure of 30 seconds for some 20 frames, did you give any time gaps or is the camera built to take such loads. What was the zoom. And is it posssible to capture star formations and constallations with this camera.


Some more of the winged beauties building the nest. This time I think I have composed the shots a little better than before:-D, no post-processing except for the water marks.

Skr, You can do it without hack, but you need to press the shutter without letting the camera shake (not even a little). Yes, I think it's possible to take photographs of constellations.

1. Nice bokeh
3. Good exposure and nice blue sky...
