I’m planning a visit out to the desert on the 15th Aug (next new moon) and just wanted some opinions on this little idea.
The area where I’m going is in the middle of nowhere and has a nice manmade lake as a foreground subject, however it has some street lights on a main road (in the distance) due to a desert resort being not too far away.
I was thinking that if I was to use an ND grad upside down in my Cokin filter holder, from the bottom of the frame up to the horizon it would effectively cut out any potential street light noise, I’m not that bothered with the foreground in the shot as I’m looking to shoot the Milky Way, do you think this approach would work, or am I giving myself problems??
Thanks in advance.
