The time-lapse will only work if you're able to expose the same frame of film (or digital sensor) for a long enough time (a couple of hours). With a DSC-F828 you're limited to 30 seconds and your picture is put in memory. The next 30 seconds will result in a new picture and so on. Taking two pictures per minute you're have 240 pictures after two hours of effort. Combining all of them (here comes Photoshop) will result in something similar to the long -exposure picture of the sky.

You're right. I see where the Photoshop comes in. I thought the poster meant to fake a picture with Photoshop.

It's imposible to obtain a such image with 30s exposure time.
...but you could experiment a lot of shot on the sky. :-)I've a DSC-V3 too and i like to capture the constellation. I've staked 3 images centered on the stars, so the landscape are blurred : http://sonyv3.free.fr/night.jpg. If you staked x images centered on the landscape you will see the begining of the rotation... A 30 s exposure already shows trails on the stars. |

Folks, it's just a simple long exposure (if you have a camera that supports Manual exposure times)
I've heard of some strange answers for this one. But here is the way to do it, without any software help LONG EXPOSURE! The first thing you have to do, is have a digital camera that can be programmed for ANY shutter time. If you don't own one (most dSLR's produced today support BULB exposure settings) then yes, you will have to use software compilers. Standard night sky around midnight, WITHOUT moon. Shutter Time: 2 hours - 5 hours depending on camera and aperture, and location on earth Aperture, i would use an aperture of 3.5-5.6 ISO: 100 (50 if you have it) If you have noise reduction software, USE IT. And NO, the stars moving in a circle, is NOT a photoshop trick, it actually happens. The earth moves on it's axis, and the stars will move in a circle motion. the ONLY star that will not move (only slightly during certian times of the year) is the North Star, as it is right on the earth's axis. -Travis- -Travis Swentosky- |

Im sure it can be done, but I belive this is a doctored pic with the foreground (trees and house) being pasted on a background.
Reasons 1. The tree leaves are wayyy to sharp for this long of a shutter time. You mean to tell me there wasnt the slightest of breeze or animals flying around to move these leaves???? 2. If you look close enough at the pic, there are some stars that havent even moved! 3. Length of some of the star (trails) are inconsisstent. Closer to center, trails should be shorter. If you look carefully, there are several inner lines that far exceed length of some outer trails lines! Just my opnion! |

The reason for some stars not moving at all, could be due they're being very, very far away.
