Hi,
I'm going to shoot a desert landscape with many starts on the sky. This is a night photography.
I will take:
1. Contax 645 with Sinarback 54M.
2. Contax 645 with slide and black and white film.
3. Manfrotto photo tripod.
4. Mechanical cable release for long exposures.
5. Nikon flash to light the desert. (not for stars )
6. Macbook.
Which lens do you recommend for such work?
1. 35mm f3.5 - 28 seconds exposure max without tracking the stars.
2. 55mm f3.5 - 18 seconds exposure max without tracking the stars.
3. 80mm f2 - 12 seconds exposure max without tracking the stars.
4. 140mm f2.8 - 7 seconds exposure max without tracking the stars.
Which film do you recommend for such night work?
1. Ilford PAN F PLUS (ISO 50).
2. Kodak TMX (T-MAX PRO ISO 100).
3. Kodak TXP (TRI-X PAN PR ISO 320).
4. Fujifilm ASTIA 100-F (ISO 100).
5. Fujifilm VELVIA RVP (ISO 50).
6. Kodak PORTRA 160VC (ISO 160).
What else I must to know?
Any "how to" is very welcome!
Thank
