And welcome. Welcome to 'UnderSouthWest Skies'. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find the experience worthwhile. This blog post has been written from my own 'beginner perspective' after doing lots of reading on the topic below. In getting my head around it all, I may have got odd bits slightly wrong; but, like you, I am on a leaning journey, so please forgive any unintentional errors. Meanwhile, clear skies to you. Take care and thanks for visiting Steve aka PlymouthAstroBoy
Now here is the thing.
I can capture astrophotography data on the night. I'm getting better at working out the exposure triangle settings and checking my histogram on the night. Likewise with using my tracker and gaining sets of lights, flats, darks and bias frames.
Beginning to understand taking landscape shots in blue and twilight hours. Lousy on landscape composition of foreground however. Loads to sort out there.
My real difficulties though, and please don't ask me "why?" because I don't know, is understanding how to merge two images into one in affinity photo. You know - putting a foreground with a sky shot. It seems so easy on the YouTube tutorials and yet whenever I try - a disaster.
Anyway, here is my first efforts. And yes, I know the sky is completely wrong proportion etc - but its just a practice image - trying to learn how to replace a sky in a shot; how to select an object from another image and place it into another.
I really find selections, masking and layers control really difficult to assimilate and I just don't understand why!
