I too try to avoid the hand of man in my images. Sometimes though something like a trail adds to the composition and makes for a stronger image. Loved using the iPhone as a pre visualization tool. Makes a lot of sense compared to unpacking and setting up all your gear only to find you didn’t see anything that caught your eye.
Thanks Kev, I’ve started using the iPhone a fair bit now to check out potential compositions. May have to invest one of those fancy apps that have different view ratios built in. Suggestions anyone?
@@BrianNorthmorePhotography for my Astrophotography I use Theodolite to figure out angles and things like that during the daytime to see where things will line up. If a comet is going to be x degrees above the horizon at a certain heading, it will allow me to see in the daytime if I’ll be able to see and photograph it.
Sorry Rog bad wording on my part, it didn’t use them together. But took versions using both to give me varying shutter speeds. I carry a 10 and 15 stop with me. Having said that in a few weeks that may change when I trial a new filter system…. There will be a vid about this.
