anamorphic-a-day :: #46

Go big or go home?  How about a light painting using the Sun.  That's pretty big.

Been meaning to do something like this for a while.  300 images of a sun rise taken at 20sec intervals. Images were then combined in The Foundry's NUKE to form the light trail caused by the arc of the Sun's ascension.

NUKE, chomped through and combined all images to make an average, and a max filtered version (where only the highest value between two adjacent images is preserved).  Then by combining those two images we get this.

The lens was a vintage Canon FD 28mm, with a 1970s era Iscorama 54 anamorphic adaptor.  The combined flaws from this old gear really became apparent, and help create the vintage mood.

I've wanted to take a star trail photo for a very long time: this my first!  Admittedly not the greatest, but I still quite like it enough to keep a record of it.

It's actually 261 photos added together .  I did this, as holding the shutter open that long would probably have resulted in the worst sensor noise ever, plus require shutter timing gear that I don't even have yet.

Next, improve my technique and use it to take a good photo lol

I've always wanted to take a photo with light trails, but weirdly never got around to doing a proper one.  Here we go!
