Superia film is doing well here for the short exposures. Do keep at it and keep posting here. Love the OM-1 camera. What lenses did you use? igor Post Extras:       rjsc2000 sage Reged: 09/21/06 Loc: Portugal Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: Nebhunter]       #5433057 - 09/21/12 04:17 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The one that comes with the camera. It's Zuiko. Luckly the light pollution is not directly overhead .

Depending upon the light pollution f/8 could be reduced to say f/4 for the 10 minutes. Nebulae should make an appearance then. I'm shooting 90 minutes at f/6.7 for example. At f/5.6 it's around 55 minutes for a full exposure with a lens that is f/4. Play around with various stops and find what works best. I push the E200 films 1.5 stops also, but I would not worry about that at the beginning until you get to know the film. igor Post Extras:       Nebhunter Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/04/03 Loc: Frostbite Falls Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: rjsc2000]       #5438250 - 09/24/12 02:55 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   This one has potential. I would suggest trying it again with shorter exposures - maybe a series of frames to bracket and see what comes out best. Stars record quite well with short exposures, otherwise their colours can get washed out.

Thanks Ricardo Post Extras:       Nebhunter Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/04/03 Loc: Frostbite Falls Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: rjsc2000]       #5450842 - 10/01/12 08:49 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   My suggestion would be to try an LP (light pollution) that the CCD guys use and has been tried here as well with film. A B+W KR 3 filter might be another choice as it cuts some of the green. If your lenses have various sized filters - get a filter to fit the largest, and then buy step down rings to fit smaller lenses. You could try an A1 (UV) filter as well which could help. igor Post Extras:       Michal1 sage Reged: 07/25/10 Loc: Czech Republic, Central Europe Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: Nebhunter]       #5451372 - 10/02/12 06:08 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   You might be also interested in background subtraction. I've done it in Pleiades PixInsight 1.0.2 LE. If you want to get this program, send me a PM. If you consider purchasing a CLS filter, be aware it suppresses light pollution, but makes stars green and this can't be easily corrected in a photo editor.

I've searched the forum but couldn't find any reference (i know, user error) Post Extras:       Nebhunter Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/04/03 Loc: Frostbite Falls Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: rjsc2000]       #5452687 - 10/02/12 09:26 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It wasn't a specific thread on the LP filter - just some photos showing the results of using a specific brand. It is maybe 1 or 2 months ago at most. I will try looking for it as well. The KR 3 filter will not turn stars green - but the other types might. igor Post Extras:       tommyhawk13 scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 09/28/07 Loc: Jacksonville, Fl Re: Photos with Om-1 [Re: Nebhunter]       #5595211 - 12/29/12 10:03 PM Attachment (36 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   You can bring out more with imaging software like Gimp. It's free. This is a quick and novice adjusment of curves, I hope you don't mind.
