    How would you edit this star trail photo?

    I've also seen photos like this one: Where the photographer is just using a rising full moon to illuminate the foreground. Didn't know you can shoot star trails with a full moon out.

    How would you edit this star trail photo?

    I'm still confused about not changing the focus ring between foreground and the sky since for the sky, you want to set focus to infinity. But for things in the foreground, it may be blurry if the lens is focused to infinity, would it not?

    How would you edit this star trail photo?

    Thanks, For many of my dark locations, there really is no point of light. I can usually see the brighest stars in the viewfinder. Usually what I do is I turn my car headlights on, walk 100-200 yards away and then use that to focus . I find that the infinity point is pretty chose to where my...

    How would you edit this star trail photo?

    I think F4 would have been reasonable. Focusing is always though in the dark on a manual lens on the Rokinon. The f1.4 is great but manual focus is pretty tough in the dark. What software would you recommend for doing dark-frame cancellation of noise in general. Also I think I saw tutorials...

    How would you edit this star trail photo?

    http://goodfreephotos.com/DSC_0641.dng When I edit in Lightroom/Photoshop CC, I get this: https://www.goodfreephotos.com/final8.jpg The trees/truck don't really show up that well and most of all if you peer in and look closely you see a lot of RGB dots on the trees and anywhere besides the...

    Removing Sun Halos

    3. Sorry, I mean Radial Blur. 5. Unfortunately I don't have that many friend that have better lenses for Crop-sensor DSLR's and many of them shoot Nikkon which aren't compatible with my Cannon. I don't think its the dirt on the Lens, I really think that the Kit Lens just isn't that good for...

    Removing Sun Halos

    1. I actually used the spot detection feature in LR to see where the dust was 2. I may start a new thread on this, I have been trying to clean the sensor with the kit for months 3. I'm aware you used the gradient blur, I eventually use it as well to further my results 5. I'm using the Kit...

    Removing Sun Halos

    Hmm, I'll try that too, it looks like the result if I use the radial gradient in Lightroom. I think Tommann's Result with the radial gradient in PS is the best still. His method works well because the Halo usually doesn't matter if there are clouds in the sky because they block out the halo...

    Removing Sun Halos

    Been trying to clean the sensor forever with the sensor cleaning kit, when I get rid of old stains, new ones just appear. What tool did you use the bring that out? Looks like a sharpen image function The halo effect is there, but it is intensified by my editing. Thanks, the radial gradient in...

    Removing Sun Halos

    2. No, not sure this photo, I sometimes shoot in HDR, but that has its own issues 3. Not really sure how to check this, usually editing in lightroom just means going to the "develop" panel and adjust the various sliders.

    Removing Sun Halos

    Usually reduce their intensity and have the light more integrate seemlessly so there's not an apparent ring around the sun when you step back and look.

    Removing Sun Halos

    I have the raw files and its actually what I am editing to get those files. The problem becomes more of an issue since I am turning up the vibrance/saturation in lightroom to get the colors I want. I'm trying then to reduce the halo in photoshop.

    Removing Sun Halos

    Thanks, is there a youtube tutorial for this sun halos thing? I've looked everywhere. I'll try it. Also when taking the photo, would using a polarizer filter help?

    Removing Sun Halos

    I don't mean lens flares, I can generally take care of them , but I've been trying to remove the halo effect around the sun in sunset/sunrise photos and its really hard. Check out these 2 pics: I've tried selecting and filling with content aware on normal and dissolve. Heal doesn't work...

    Large looping oil stains on sensor removal

    I can't seem to find the content-aware fill tool, is that the paint bucket tool? Edit: NvM, figured it out.
