On my last trip to Tenerife, I spent a few nights capturing the night sky. In my previous entry, I promised I’d share more photos from that night, so here they are.
Tenerife is a great place for taking photos of the stars, as it has many dark places with clear skies. I’ve captured these photos, especially at the caldera at El Teide.
I was lucky to have clear skies for two nights, so I used the time there to capture the night sky with my Sony A7III camera.
I’m not an expert in astrophotography, but I’m happy with the results I got. I learned much about the creative process and look forward to the next opportunity to capture the night sky.
Most photos were taken with a superb Sony FE 16-35mm f/4.0 lens. I also used a tripod and a remote shutter release to avoid camera shake.
Also, what you see in the photos is the result of stacking multiple images created with the Starry Landscape Stacker and Starry Sky Stacker apps.
Last but not least, I used Adobe Lightroom to edit the photos and bring out the details in the night sky.
What is worthy of mention is that you may not need an expensive camera to do astrophotography. Here is the photo I took with the latest iPhone. Sure, it may not have as many details as the ones taken with the Sony camera, but you can still use it to capture the night sky, which is fantastic.
I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to capture the night sky.
