Hi @Niki Patel don't get me wrong but camping with others in the middle of COVID is not my preferred choice for the moment. As soon as our lives can go back to normal a bit it will however be on top of my list 5 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Varun Mehndiratta Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi @Mikhail Lukichev a beginner query - do we need additional camera flashlight? Or just a general Headlamp/flashlight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sertac Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 @Mikhail Lukichev Sony A7ii with 28-70mm kit lens will be used for milky way photo. Nikon F3 or FE2 with Vivitar 24mm f2.8 with Fujifilm c200 film. This will be used for star trails. I have some previous experience on this but it`s been a few years. Quality is very low i got screenshot from my instagram. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the camera: tripod and a remote timer as I want to test for long exposures. One item I've found useful and would like to suggest is a small brush, I carry one with me to remove sand from camera and first element of the lens I am using. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
