Paul Haworth Nightscape Journals
Великобритания
Добавлен 9 мар 2013
I'm Paul Haworth, a landscape astrophotographer from the Cambridgeshire Fens in East Anglia in the UK.
In this channel, I hope to share the amazing experience of being out in the peaceful countryside under a starlit sky as I shoot my nightscapes. I want to convey the beauty of the solitude and the silence, occasionally interrupted by the local wildlife, and inspire others to put their camera into manual mode and get out at night to take photographs. It's not a how-to channel - there are plenty of those that are brilliant - it's all about the experience.
I'll also share my timelapse videos, which capture the dynamic motion of the night sky and nighttime phenomena.
I hope you enjoy my videos. Feel free to get in touch with questions, recommendations or comments.

SOLITUDE | a solo astrophotography adventure | landscape photography | night kayak
Просмотров 451Месяц назад
One of the things I love most about nightscape photography is the solitude whilst out in the landscape, under the stars at night. Coupled with the sense of adventure, the sounds of strange wildlife, and the coming and going of ethereal mists, it's a visceral experience that makes me feel alive, with all the cares of the world a million miles away. In this short film, I try to convey that sense ...

MidSummer Milky Way | A Nightscape Journal | Night sky photography | Landscape astrophotography
Просмотров 5652 месяца назад
Traditionally the Summer months aren't a good time to shoot the Milky Way in the UK. It never gets truly dark, and the stars are only visible for a few precious hours from very late in the evening. But a couple of weeks away from the Summer solstice, I headed out to the Norfolk coast in the UK - to Happisburgh beach - ready to enjoy a night under the stars next to the sea. And over the course o...
Milky Way from the Suffolk Coast | A Nightscape Journal | Astrophotography | Landscape Photography
Просмотров 5363 месяца назад
Not every nightscape adventure goes to plan. Sometimes I just struggle to get into the groove, for no particularly reason. This was one such night, out on the beautiful coast at Covehithe in Suffolk, UK. I'd looked forward to shooting the wonderful gnarly, sunbleached remains of trees that had tumbled from the clifftops onto the beach. But could I find them? But what I learned was that being ou...

The spectacular aurora display on the night of Friday 10th May 2024 will go down in history as the most witnessed and photographed astronomical event ever. I never imagined I would witness by eye colourful overhead pillars dancing above me in the southern half of the UK, but that's exactly what we got that night. It was a joy that so many people were able to see one of nature's spectacles from ...

AURORA hyperlapse with a DRONE! | A Nightscape Journal | DJI Mini 4 Pro night flying challenge

A few months ago I had an idea. Possibly a stupid idea, but one that I couldn't stop thinking about. Is it possible to shoot a moving timelapse / hyperlapse of the northern lights from a drone? In this video, I travel to Langøya, the third largest island of the arctic coast of Norway, to put my DJI Mini 4 drone to the ultimate test. With nighttime conditions, strong winds, unforgiving mountains...

NO REGRETS! | A Nightscape Journal | Astrophotography | Landscape photography

Sometimes this hobby makes demands with which the mind and body don't want to comply. Dragging ourselves out of bed in the tiny hours, with the constant threat of disappointment from the weather, just isn't something that comes naturally. But the regret of not trying is always worse that the discomfort and tiredness of giving it a go anyway. And when it all comes together, all of the effort and...

Adventures like this is truly something on its own. This is the shots we want to go for every time. Thanks for letting us tag along on this great trip, the image came out great! Really good job, amazing scenery and foreground 👌🏻
Thanks, Roy, I really appreciate that. I agree that the adventure is a huge part of the meaningfulness behind these images. I appreciate the support. Paul. 🙏
Excellent video and images Paul. I feared you might go 'A over T' on those rocks, looked a bit dodgy! I was actually looking at the Sigma 24mm F1.4 at the weekend for my R6 (trying to get ready for the comet next month), if you're using it I guess it must be good!
Thanks Pete - really appreciated. Yep, that was definitely nearly the outcome on those rocks! I like the Sigma 24, and especially how wide it is. I've never been able to do a direct comparison with the equally wide (but considerably lighter and cheaper) Samyang 24 as my Samyang broke before I was able to. I suspect if you're just using it for astro, and so don't need AF, a good example of the Samyang would give the Sigma a run for its money. But of course we all know how Samyang quality control varies a lot!
Super video Paul and great pics. Its a lot of effort carrying all your kit and vlogging too so being able to have a cooling dip must have been most welcome! Waterfalls and stars - a great astro combo - more please!!
Thanks so much, Geraint. Ha ha, living in the Fens does create some challenges chasing waterfalls but I enjoyed it. Might have to head further afield to find more, though!
That was quite the precarious adventure but the effort definitely paid off. Two great shots! I also need to comment on the light beams in the valley with the drone video. I hope you got some killer still pics with the drone!
@@scottmcnally thanks Scott - appreciate the support. Actually I completely failed to get any stills with the drone - it just never occurred to me!! But I did love those lights rays - it seemed to be an area that had them regularly.
@@nightscapejournals Completely understand with the drone. The video was killer!
Brilliant adventure Paul! You really went all in here to get the shot. And swimming under the night sky... that has just become another bullet on my bucket list 😁👌
Thanks Jeroen - glad you enjoyed it! Definitely worth swimming under the Milky Way one day - beautiful!!
What an amazing place - by day and by night! I very much enjoy watching you work - it's fascinating how you obtain such results.
Thanks for your kind words, Robert. It certainly is a special place. 😀
Amazing pics!
Cheers, Howard!
Great video, and photographs! I hope this means your computer is successfully repaired. Any Wife/Partner who allows you to plan family holidays around phases of the moon is definitely a keeper. I wish people knew how hard it is to access locations like this with enough kit to have two cameras running whilst also having enough kit left to record it in a vlog, and how hard it is to make a meaningful watchable video, without ending up in Hospital like Starscaper did.
Thanks so much! Absolutely - I’m very fortunate to have a very understanding wife for that! We definitely like to make life challenging making these videos, but I absolutely love doing so - having a lasting memory of the adventure is worth all the faff as far as I’m concerned. I’ve just spent 4 hours this afternoon trying to find the right piece of music for the intro to my next video - no joy yet, but hopefully nearly there! Thanks for the support, as ever. 🙏
Beautiful stuff, well done.
Thank you very much- appreciated.
We had to wait a bit for this one, but it was worth it! Laptop is in a good health now? Great images from a very unique location :D.
Thanks Matej - always appreciate the support. Yep, laptop seems to be back and running normally. 🎉🎉
lovely video again mate...was waiting with baited breath to see your star trails image...worth the wait for sure 👏👌
Thank so much, Pete. I'd have liked a bit longer on those trails, but also didn't want to miss getting the MW in the orientation I needed it!
Thank you for the escape from the days of deariness we've been having up here :) looks a lovely area. Paul.
@@paulclark9123 pleased to have offered some respite! Thanks for the support. It’s been fairly dreary here since getting back!
Lovely stuff Paul. Credit to you for tackling that climb at night. Images prove it was worth it though!
@@timscanlanphotography thanks, Tim - really appreciate that. 🙏
Congratulations for the special locations you usually find for your videos, this is very special. Nice video. Sometimes i go to observe the night sky from the valleys near mount Viso not far there. If you like i have a site massimoastrophotocom for my astrophotography.
Fantastic Paul. Lovely adventure mate.
@@Astrobloke thanks as ever, Glenn! Really enjoyed it.
Youre braver than me - after a bad ankle-twist a few years ago on wet rocks I avoid them like the plague now if I can! Some nice results for all your effort here though 🙂
@@JamesBillingsPhotography thanks James. I should probably be a bit more careful - a few near misses that were a result of carelessness. Seem to recall you’re off to Iceland soon so hope you have a fantastic time!
@@nightscapejournals yep, on Saturday - just test-packing!
You certainly went above and beyond on this astro adventure. Thank you Paul for taking us along. Beautiful scenery and landscapes
@@astronebulee578 thanks for the support, as ever, Lee and really glad you enjoyed it. 🙏
Nice one. Great little vlog on creating your art. That climb looked treacherous! But you got rewarded with a swim too 😃👍
@@JauneMacReady thanks as ever. The swim was definitely needed as I’d run out of water and was more than a little hot!
Great adventure Paul, Italy is one place I’ve not explored, only been to lake Garda for the day! Great coffee & Tiramisu!! Excellent video as always, worth the wait! Those rocks looked dodgy mate! You’re a braver man than me! Nice drone footage and cracking images Paul. Im glad you remembered this is a family show! and the swimming scene was ‘tactfully’ done🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing and clear skies 👍
@@SimonsAstro thanks Simon - glad you enjoyed it. Tiramisu and coffee would have been very welcome that evening! I promise the whole pants thing is just an aberration!
Thanks for taking us along Paul. I know how treacherous rock hopping with a pack in dry conditions can be, let alone wet - but looking at the results, the payoff was certainly there 👌
@@GrowPhotography thanks for the support, Greg. You definitely have your fair share of sketchy underfoot conditions over there!
I might not be cooler than you were since I'm in bed with a fever, but what better way to spend the time than enjoying one of your adventures 🙂 That shot of the valley with the MW was beautiful!
So sorry to hear that, Martin - I wish you a swift recovery. Thanks for your kind words and support - glad you enjoyed it!
@@nightscapejournals no need to feel sorry for me, it's just a regular cold. Not even a proper man-cold 😉
@@MartinFransson 🤣🤣
Great video as always Paul, love Italy, and you only get out of life what you put into it, put in a bit of hard work and you get the rewards 👍
Thanks, Bill - I'd love to explore Italy more. It was beautiful and so much potential for astro!
Your final Milky Way image was ace!
Thank you - that’s very kind. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a really cool location to shoot Paul. I can only imagine what it's like during the daytime though ..!!!!!
I’d definitely be watching where I put my feet! 😬
Well, Paul... you sure have a way of finding weird and interesting locations. A bombing field!? 😅 Images turned out great, especially the first one.
@@MartinFransson thanks Martin! “Weird and interesting” - I’ll take that!! Thanks for the support. 🙏
@@nightscapejournals it was 100% meant as a compliment! 🙂
@@MartinFransson “weird wins” 🤣🤣
Great video, gives a true insight into what it’s like to be an astrophotographer in weird and wonderful locations out under the night sky
@@SkyWatch07 thank you, Dave - I appreciate that. I love weird and wonderful locations!
Yeah - great astro video with an element of danger too!! Really like your explanations of how you plan and take your shots - very informative. And yes focus stacking does suck so narrower apertures are best for greater depth of field. Love reflections in astro images and you got a good one there in the Milky Way and Tower shot. I've got the laser light too - very handy for locating and framing up targets in your camera field of view (esp. 135mm focal length). Clouds always our bane but recently had a couple of decent evenings on Anglesey which was nice after my holiday!! 👍👍😊😊
Cheers Geraint - appreciated. It had never occurred to me to use the pointer for framing narrower FOVs - that’s genius - thanks! All the best, Paul
Lovely video with excellent videography techniques. Really highlights the peacefulness and tranquility that can still be found in our hectic lives!! You've shown how the pursuit of astrophotography can lead to a sense of utopia and oneness with Nature. The journey is more important than the destination. Well done Paul.👍👍
@@gr-astro thanks Geraint - really appreciate that. Completely agree re the journey!! Thanks for the support. 👍
Another fine video Paul. Well done indeed 👋 Had forgotten how flat that part of Lincolnshire is, and that's despite growing up in Boston! Up here on the North Coast there was a good aurora show last night and it augurs well for the rest of solar maximum. Went out to try and capture some of the Perseids on camera but then the skies took on a somewhat different appeal 🙂
@@KennethWood-ju7tt thanks Kenneth - very kind of you. It sounds like the aurora in the U.K. the last couple of days has been fantastic - glad you caught it. I even managed to get Sunday night’s display from Italy, which I really wasn’t expecting!
@@nightscapejournals Well done Paul. Looking like the aurora season is getting off to an encouraging start!
I really like that first shot with the reflection. I love finding new spots and planning out future adventures. Looking forward to what else you can create there!
@@scottmcnally cheers Scott - I was so excited when I saw the reflection. So rare up there to have no wind to spoil it!
Brilliant astro journal Paul. Once again top notch production on the intro, I thought it was James Dean driving. A lovely location and the control tower as you said will provide a wealth of foreground interest for future Orion projects. Nice to see a couple of Perseids in the video too. Thank yiu for all your effort and time put into your journals and channel. I really live watching and learning from you. Clear skies 👍
@@astronebulee578 thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement, Lee - it means a lot. I’ll definitely be back! Ha ha. Not sure about James Dean. Maybe Del Trotter….
Excellent video Paul. Shame about the clouds but cracking images all the same. That Nomad tracker looks interesting, I'll definitely be checking that out. I have the Star Adventurer 2i but am not a fan at all, mine was unusable out of the box due to massively excessive slop which I fixed but it still put me off using it.
@@petesastrophotography thanks Pete - I appreciate that. That sounds like a terrible experience that you’ve had with the 2i and definitely something that should have been fixed under warranty by the sounds of it. My gen 1 SA has been a solid workhorse, but it’s more shirehorse than little Shetland pony and I won’t miss the weight!
Nomad looks interesting - the star adventurer is indeed a bit chonky- I don't think I'll be taking it for my weekend in Iceland as I'm already planning on 2 digital bodies and the C330! Final shot here came out really nice, regardless of cloud - looking forward to your repeat visit.
@@JamesBillingsPhotography thanks James - it’s definitely an interesting tracker, and I hope to play with it some more in the coming weeks. Enjoy Iceland - sounds awesome.
You continue to raise the bar with your intros and b-roll Paul, you had me hooked immediately - loved it 🤘. My experience with the Nomad is similarly positive so far. The big test is going to be on an upcoming overseas trip in a few weeks 🤞 Loved the MW image and the reflected control tower. P. S nice meteor at 11:40 👌
Very kind of you, Greg, and thanks for the encouragement. Ah, an overseas trip sounds exciting - looking forward to hearing all about that at some point!! Always love it when I happen to catch a meteor on film! Hopefully there’ll be some tonight with the Perseids too!
@@nightscapejournals Bound to be since we have heavy cloud cover 😉
great video as always, loved the introduction and great photographs at the end, even the failed star trails. I think you did the only thing you could to deal with the green Exit signs by shooting in blue hour. I Guess you feel the same as me. I generally find blue hour foregrounds blended with dark night sky gives a very odd look. forgot to say earlier if you do venture out to Beachy head and fancy some moral support just ask.
@@focusphotonsfrugally6644 thank you very much, as ever, for the support and encouragement. I’ve never had much joy shooting in blue hour, but I think it has its uses especially when a scene is just too large to light well artificially or with ambient light. Think I just need to get better at editing!! Really appreciate that offer - might pick you up on that!!
Really enjoyed the video and keep it up😊
Thanks Peter - very kind. Thanks for watching.
Those are some impressive clouds! And the time lapse is great. And the drone flying too! It's all brilliant! 😃👍
@@JauneMacReady very kind of you. Thankfully DJI make drone flying very simple for the less-than-competent like me!!
@@nightscapejournals I was going to ask, what drone you got. I'll continue to binge watch your channel and try not to spam you too much 🤣👍
@@JauneMacReady it’s the Mini 4 Pro - amazing little bit of kit. Would love to upgrade to something with a better camera one day, but this serves me well for the odd bit of b-roll. 😊
@@nightscapejournals Those DJI Mini drones are little powerhouses. Mine's the Mini3Pro. Does me fine. I'll probably wait for when they do the Mini 5 Pro and upgrade then. The sub 250g drones are so versatile - you can fly then pretty much anywhere (with a bit of common sense) 😃👍
Interesting location, nice shots for the milky way.
@@massimobollini4622 thanks for the support, Massimo. Yep it’s a a really interesting location, and actually super easy to get to.
Thwartedagain by cloud! Sometimes a cloud block is a blessing on a new location as it arms you with info, ideas & inspiration for the next visit...great vlog though mate 👋
Yep it seems to be a bit of a theme at the moment! 🙄 But I agree - a visit to suss out a location is never in vane and I’ve got at least two other images (and probably 3) that I really want to make at this location in the Winter. So I’ll be back! Appreciate the support and encouragement, Pete.
Oh, and almost forgot... Great shots too! Amazing ❤
