I gave a bit longer answer here: https://lemmy.world/comment/17856195

But basically postprocessing and image staking allows you to use high iso with minimal quality loss

Yea sorry I thought it would be easier to say German because not everyone knows where Franken is.

Should have put it in the description

Yes that's it, sorry for the late answer didn't get the notifications

If you're only taking a single exposure then yes lower is better (when shooting a static scene from a tripod)

But I have taken multiple exposures and combined them in post so the noise averages out.

Also the stars move so there's only so much light I can capture and I would need to boost the exposure in post that would also then increase the noise.

As for the foreground, I was cold and didn't want to wait 8min extra so I used a bit more ISO.

The real world difference between low and higher ISO isn't as bad as it seems in the datasheet, especially when you throw postprocessing in the mix

Me neither, saw that by coincidence and had to take some pictures there

Stonehenge, I was surprised too.

I was on the go and was looking for a good place to take some pictures and saw this one by chance.

Only contrast, bright and white balance adjustments. Other than that it's a single image file.

Great to see you like my picture 😊

A pet du l sounds awesome.

This one was a wild such that was just very friendly

No in Germany, I sadly got no idea about different duck types. I only know that the ducks in the park are free.

I was only a meter away from it. The duck was very camera friendly
