Just got the goskywatch app, it all now makes sense to me. BTW, layers and masks on a single shot is pretty much the same as multiple shots to make up a composite Canon EOS 1DX | Canon EOS 6D | 16-35mm f/2.8 L MKII | 24-70mm f/2.8 L MKII | 24-105mm f/4.0 L | 100mm macro f/2.8 L | 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS MKII | 400mm f/5.6 L | EF 2x II | 580 EX II | MR-14EX |

I know it is not cool in the tech section here, but find myself hating images that are tack sharp on your subjects right eye etc. Just such a generic look to me. Lucas, on that note, I like that shot. It is spooky looking as hell with your hands in like a prayer kinda formation. Nice! Thanks, that was my friends idea when he saw how my hands looked holding the phone CJCMarquez wrote in post #16618015 Very nice effect. Could create some rumors of the haunted train tracks. Hah lol, true. We only did it because there's just too much noise pollution around here to get a decent astro shot IMG_0322-3.jpg Fuji X-T3 // Fuji X-Pro2 (Full Spectrum) // Fuji X-H1 // Fuji X-T1

I stitched together 15 images for this shot! Also, I may have a problem with my 6D's Wifi.. It will connect to my phone for about 2 minutes, then disconnect. I've tried this with other phones too and it just won't work. Anybody else ever have this problem? Canon 6D | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 | Canon 17-40 f/4L

Yes, but it's a million times better. You plug in a dongle to create the WIFI link, and you can control everything on your camera from 150 meters away if you wish. I use it with my iPad, particularly for night shots because you can control the exposure, focus and all. Excellent product. I don't use the Canon app because it doesn't run on iPad; I much prefer the larger screen Canon EOS 1DX | Canon EOS 6D | 16-35mm f/2.8 L MKII | 24-70mm f/2.8 L MKII | 24-105mm f/4.0 L | 100mm macro f/2.8 L | 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS MKII | 400mm f/5.6 L | EF 2x II | 580 EX II | MR-14EX |

Jan 21, 2014 07:47 | #7815 Jef96 wrote in post #16623133 ^^^Which interval timer do you use? if you're someone tech savvy, you can install magic lantern and get a free intervalometer. I haven't done it on my 6D, but my old 5D does have an intervalometer via magic lantern and it's sweet. Works out better for me because I'm more comfortable leaving a cheapo camera outside than a more expensive one.
