Startrails from Gangtok, India. My first successful Star Trail image. Nikon D850, Tamron 15-30 mm F-2.8 G2 Lens, F/2.8.

The exposure was for 20 seconds with at ISO-1250, and 5 sec interval for the next shot. Generally people go with extended exposure time, but I planned for less exposure time and low ISO because the lens had a wide aperture of f/2.8 and the dynamic range of Nikon D850 is great to get such images in the low light conditions. There were about 100 images which made this picture. Each image is about 55-60 MB in size. All shot in RAW format. It was about 6 GB of data to make One image of star trail. The shooting of images did go for nearly 1.15 hrs. Later the images were processed to JPEG format in View NX-i. I was super excited to see the trails, but StarStax crashed all the time i tried to stack the images. Later i figured out, since the image size of the individual JPEG images was huge, the Star Stax used to get crashed. So i found out a way to somehow stack all the images in Photoshop CS6. And further processed in Adobe Lightroom to extract most of the sky and colors. Everything happened in one night which included taking images and processing. By 5:00 AM in the morning, i had the first successful image of the Star Trail. This final image is 65MB in size.

Post processing plays plays a major role in making your picture and this comes with practice. You should try with all of these software and enhance the creativity in you.
If you are interested to see more story on how i had setup my tripod, the photography gear i used, please visit my blog at www.indianwilds.blogspot.com

I had included some images of the actual site while the shoot was under progress. All this to help the new budding photographers.

Gangtok from my Nikon D850. Got my new camera and tried taking pictures during my trip to Gangtok. Believe me, this is one of the best cameras I came across. Amazing stability and resolution with 45.7 mega pixels which allows to capture awesome images with unbelievable low light capabilities.
A fan of Nikon D850. Also the lens used is a super wide angle lens of Tamron 15-35mm f/2.8 G2. This combination of camera and lens is best for landscape and night photography.

One of the places I love to visit in the Western Ghats is the Muthodi, which is considered the most popular section of Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. This site is situated at a distance of about 32 km from Chikmagalur town. Some of the animals like tigers, sambar deer, elephants, spotted deers and gaurs, to mention a few and number of bird species including horn-bills can also be spotted by visitors at Muthodi Forest. Here are few images from the Muthodi forest and nearby places which I got to capture..
