I am interested in both types of photography I like the astronomy side and I just love taking photographs please let me know what you think I've waited a long time to buy a DSLR and would like to get a good Thanks so much!


Answer
That is a decent camera for both normal and astro-photography...BUT....there are different lenses/equipment to consider for each. I would suggest that you talk to a local camera shop (not bestbuy/walmart) AND your local astronomy clubs.

A friend is big into astrophotography and uses a Canon T2i (550D). He has his attached to a $10,000+ telescope and turns out phenomenal shots, but he uses just the "kit" lenses for normal photography since the stars/planets are his passion. I, on the other hand, have $10,000+ wrapped up in camera bodies/lenses/tripods for regular photography but nothing for the "space" shots (except for the moon).

You will need to find that "happy medium" to satisfy your wants/needs. That is why I suggest talking the astronomy clubs. There are 2 in my area that hold regular get together's... some of the people have telescopes (ranging from $100 to $15,000+), some have camera/telescopes, and some have cameras with bigass lenses.

How do you get a night vision effect on a camera?

I have a camera that doesn't take night vision video, but I need that effect. How do I get that green night vision glow? Is there a way to get an effect on windows movie maker that adds a greenish tint to everything or some sort of filter to put on a camera that makes light look green, thus making daytime look like a night using night vision? Thanks


Answer
You can get green filters to fit the lens size if you have a SLR or DSLR.
Look on the front rim of the lens and read the ø=52 or 58 ø or ø 72 whatever you have. (not f=80-200mm)(not f=50mm).

You could maybe just put the filter in front with a bracket, or stand.

If available, you can find green cellophane (gift wrapping baskets) or even transparent colored report covers (from office supply stores) and fold it to have double or triple layers,

Maybe you could also set the camera to record in black and white, if the setting works for video as well as still pictures.

Yeah, you could make a SKERRY MOOVIE...
