Summary

Description
English: "Too much filter"

I was running two streak shots last night. As the launch window moved earlier (to just 10 minutes after sundown) and kept getting later in the month, it was worrisome that the sky would be just too bright for a decent long exposure streak shot. So for one of the long-exposure rigs, I was determined to have enough filter to be able let the thing run for the longest possible duration. (Plus, I had it set up down by the water, which meant I needed to start the shot at about T-15 seconds and then run the 50-ish feet to my other rigs.)

May I introduce you to a 10-stop ND filter. Even at 178 seconds (ISO100, f20), it was still very under-exposed. For this shot, I had way too much light reduction in place. Opening the aperture a bit would have helped tremendously.

This is the shot, with the adjustments pushed to ridiculous levels in post-processing. (Exposure +2.8, blacks+20)
