Taken from my hotel balcony.
Using 100 shots with 1 min exposure per shot.
Not sure when that airplane trail came into my frame... :sweat:
Singapore? dont bother.. U will NEVER Get any starry pics.. I tried that out so many times.. Coz its either cloudy.. Too much light from nearby buildings.. or that the stars doesnt shine in sg.. the most u can get is the moon.. I also want to take starry night pictures!!
As mentioned, its hard to shoot starry skies in Singapore as the surroundings are too bright.
Just cup your hands and shield your eyes while looking up, you usually can see an appreciable difference. Your best bet is to find an big open field or deserted stretch of beach.
I was in Australia one night in a drop zone, it was a half an hour drive to any civilization, when I looked up at the sky....:bigeyes:
I think it doesn't necessarily has to do with too many lights. I was living in Osaka where i can see the whole city from where i was, but when i looked up at the sky.. O_O;; It was sooo clear....!! People say pollution is bad in osaka, but i think singapore should be worse...especially jurong area...or perhaps the atmosphere is different At most I can see only 3 or 4 stars...but in osaka....maybe 300-400?
it is bad in sg because sg is in the tropics, lots of cloud.
we are talking about light pollution meaning at night it is too bright. ambient light cause your pupil to close off, making faint light from star difficult to enter and recognised by your eyes.
But however if you camp at night in lim chu kang for example, say at about 3 or 4 am, I think you can see star. If not then see ghost. :bsmilie:
lol.. i rather see the stars then see ghost.. at least i can take photos of the stars..
yep, light from the surroundings in sg is really bright, and its really cloudy.. hmmm.. waiting for 28th march. See if the people in my area will really switch off the lights.. and see the gov will switch off the lights in sg too!! Coz i rmb that time my area kena black out.. damn nice!! I could see a lot of stars!! But that was the only time..:cry:
