First of all, i am newcomer in Hive so please do not withhold your helps and supports.

If you like photos (street, macro, landscape and long exposure) and completely original and independent articles, here is my diary;

[Day 1 ](https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@xxxthorxxx/day-1-acquaintance), [Day 2 ](https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@xxxthorxxx/day-2-facing-the-past),[Day 3 ](https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@xxxthorxxx/day-3-facing-the-moment-and-some-questions-without-answers),[Day 3-2](https://peakd.com/hive-174301/@xxxthorxxx/sketchbook-day-3-drawing-the-thor-portrait)

Is there anything more mystical for humans than stars in the sky from past to present? Even though we know almost everything about the sky even today, aren't the stars still a secret?

***

*Thor: the construction of the pyramids, the life and structures of the Maya, Stonehedge, Kim Kardashian's body parts replaced by plastic surgery. There are still a lot of things unknown to humanity.*

***

Anyway, if we continue to not disperse our subject, sky objects have always attracted the curiosity of human beings for centuries. Even from time to time they determined these sky objects as gods.

Of course, with the development of technology, all celestial bodies and their mysticism have been solved and continue to unravel.

***

*Thor: For mythological gods like me, there are no such unknown situations ...Of course I know the names of all the stars by heart...*

Considering these, I decided to go to the darkest part of the hill and pose stars. Of course, my primary goal here is to be able to teach our friends at Hive, but I have not made too many long exposures because the weather is very hot and humid. Because I could damage the sensor.

Even so, I would like to share my experiences with you:

First, I will specify the aperture and iso values ​​for a 30-second long exposure at night in the dark:

f1.4 ISO400
f2.8 ISO800
f4 ISO1600
f5.6 ISO3200

Yes,you can get less grainy and beautiful long exposures in these diaphragms and sio values.

Now let's talk about what are the necessary things for the process. We should definitely take a backup battery for the camera, a flashlight, a stick to protect from wild animals, at least a stick :) and of course a tripod, which is a must for long exposure.

Before we shoot, that is, determining the place we will shoot during the day and forming our frame will save us from dealing with it in the dark at night. I frankly struggled a little.

This technique is based on the merging of short-term photographs (the shots I share are 3-4 minutes long), that is, a lot of long exposure photographs taken for at least 30 seconds. You can combine a series of photographs taken 30 seconds in a row with photoshop or a program called Startrails to get your Startrail photo. You can find this program for free on the Internet.

Since I have only two photos, I preferred Photoshop. I simply overlapped the two photos in layers and left one as a background, and the other lighten. Then I combined the two photos. After editing the light clarity and color settings in the last photo I obtained, I shared it with you.

This was the part in the house. Now I continue to explain what we have to do in the shooting part. First of all, we put our machine in manual mode. We set it to Bulb option. After that, we cancel the auto focus in our machine. We focus on what we want to focus our lens on manually. We use control to minimize vibration. That's it....
