The photography of living models has a very particular beauty, which can be manipulated by the movement and expression of the person who poses, however, the style of representation of nature and its phenomena in particular, as in astrophotography, provides a even more special beauty to portraits. Especially because it requires a digital camera with greater precision and sensitivity than the others.
This is the most special case of the work of astrophotographer Adam Woodworth, who specializes in capturing events that alter the appearance of the night sky, either because of the emission of gas, but also because of the appearance of celestial bodies.
- In an interview with the North American website DPREVIEW.
- Adam showed great humility when describing his main goal in astrophotography:.
“My goal is to share the beauty of the night sky and remind everyone to always have time to look at the stars. “
Adam’s chosen locations are essentially points near his residences in the United States (United States of Maine and NewHampshire) and Canada (Newfoundland Island).
The great differential that exists in the camera of this astrophotograph (a Nikon D810A) is that, for the type of photograph you practice with greater intensity, the infrared filter configuration of this machine has a higher sensitivity to mainly capture the color change in the sky caused by the gases of the nebula, which would hardly be possible with another DSLR camera.
In addition to always using a higher ISO (10 to 12 thousand), the rest of Adam’s machine configuration does not require major changes, using a professional 14-24 mm lens with an f/2. 8 aperture.
