Nightscape

Nightscape photography involves capturing the sky at night. Due to the low brightness at night, very long exposure times are used, necessitating the use of tripods and sometimes even equatorial mounts (star trackers). It also needs to be done in a place where there is very low light pollution (increasingly difficult to find) and has a nice foreground. Usually, I would go hiking during daytime and camp at night and try to take some photos with my camera. If the weather works out, I would be able to obtain images like the ones below!

Photo taken at a obsolete radio telescope array, the Miyun Observatory in Beijing. Apart from the star trails, we can also see quite a few airplane trails, sheding light on the busy life in Beijing. 

Beijing, China (Oct 2018)

Photo taken during a trip to the Xinglong Observatory in Beijing which is home to the LAMOST telescope famously seen in a lot of places. This photo was taken during a field trip to the observatory I organised for the Astronomical Society I founded in my secondary school.
