Landscape Astrophotography. - Cape Town Photographer

Landscape Astrophotography.

Landscape astrophotography is tricky, let me just say that up front. A lot of patience is required but the results can be spectacular. I took this photo recently on a trip to the Tankwa Karoo National Park. It is far from perfect and the foreground is poorly exposed but it is a start of something I definitely want to pursue.

This is not my first attempt. A while ago we hiked to the Wolfberg Arch in the wonderful Cederberg which is the perfect venue for this type of photography. Despite all the photos I took I could not get one right. Granted I was exhausted when we got there and I was unable to focus on the arch itself. I need to go back there sometime soon.

I also think my equipment could be better but that will have to wait. A Nikon D810 and A Tamron SP 15-30 f2.8 Di VC USD lens would do very nicely though.

It’s miserable rainy windy weather this weekend so maybe next weekend.
