About Subtopic
Astro & Weather focuses on capturing the sky, celestial events, and atmospheric phenomena through both photography and videography. It includes discussions on star trails, the Milky Way, planetary alignment, moon phases, lightning, storms, cloud formations, and night-sky timelapses, along with the technical settings, gear choices, and environmental considerations that make these shots possible. The emphasis is on understanding how light, time, and weather interact to create dramatic, visually striking subjects.
It’s a space for users to share work, ask questions, explore techniques, and refine their approach to shooting the sky and atmospheric conditions. This area encourages patience, preparation, and technical mastery, offering a dedicated environment for developing skills, discovering new celestial or meteorological opportunities, and creating images or footage that highlight the beauty and power of nature above us.
