I feel like this could be done in Photoshop...

Looks more like he uses the drones to light the landscape, the halos are a side effect.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Damn near anything could be done in Photoshop. That's not the point of doing things.

If he's doing that much post...yea I feel like photoshopping would have the same realism.

But I doubt it's authenticity due to stars remain unmoving

How did he make the circles so perfect?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Probably programmed the route into the drone. There are plenty of apps nowadays.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

That's what I was thinking. But that would mean he'd have to find an anchor point or something on top of the mountain

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I know with the software we use at my college you can just locate the mountain via satellite map and just estimate the middle. 1/

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Pix4Dmapper or UgCS can both do that, or they can use a previously known gps point to use. He'd probably use a different program, but yeah 2

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Idk. Maybe only gps of the top needed?? Yet not an expert on droning

THATS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. Why are we the only ones wondering this?

ok boredpanda post has written "one of the features the drone has is a circular orbit mode around a ‘point of interest’" so its fine to me

How long exposure can it be if the stars don't move?

8 years ago | Likes 172 Dislikes 2

There are a lot of factors to give a specific time. 18-30 seconds depending camera and lens. If it's a crop sensor, you need f/2.8 or better

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

This is more photoshop thar involves some photigraphy. Lots of composites and touch ups

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Given the lighting it’s probably one photo and “light painting”

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

With a 28mm lens f2.8 anything over 25 seconds gets streaks.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It's a bunch of exposures stacked together with the stars aligned. Or the sky is from a single frame.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 4

Probably shot multiple layers and stacked them.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

double shots, one for the background, and the other long exposure, and some Photoshop to put everything together.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

20-30 seconds in normal, but this was also done with “light painting”

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Anything under 30s

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

dependes on the focal distance, on a 50mm(full frame) max should be less than 10s, 18mm is close to 30s, but thats expensive stuff.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Photoshop?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If it was a concern, you could just photoshop all the stars back in from another snap.
