Night Sky - Photography

Prime time for night time photography! This was probably the first time I properly sat down and looked at my camera settings before shooting. And lo and behold, there is so much that can be done to improve the outcome beyond simply adjusting ISO, shutter speed, aperture etc. Mirror lock-up for example, which I only realised AFTER the lunar eclipse. Well. You live and learn.

Sunset

Did I paint this because I wanted to paint some milky way style thing? Yes. The rest is just for flavour.

Night at Alun

Honestly this was just an excuse to paint magic stuff and clouds. No regrets.

Magic Storm

Quick painting to test my new brushes.

Thunderstorm

Painting Steps

For anyone wondering how these paintings "develop", here are WIPs for the last three.

Alun

Fun fact: Alrador (the mountain from that post) is located within the mountain range Alun. Maybe I'll make a map or something one day.

References actually help, who would've thought :P
