    Hi Richard, another great instructional video. Yes people do need to here things repetitively. The average person, if getting a 30 second message delivered only verbally, needs to hear that item 11 times before the key points are understood. Just a fun fact for you.

    Hi Richard, again thank you for your videos…this is likely my 3rd or 4th time to watch this star trails tutorial and it seems I pick up a ‘tip’ every time that I had missed previously.

      Thanks again Dan. I think your star trails are wonderful. To be honest I haven't done any for quite a while . .I must get back out to do some soon.

      @@nightscapeimages.richard Why not use a light like this to avoid having to walk around in camera shot (as I noticed you also did on the old tractor from January 2019)? One could just aim this where needed as needed. Then you wouldn't have to edit out the light trails and perhaps have fewer layers to deal with. Good shot, but it might make it easier to accomplish is all I'm saying. Edit: The original link didn't work but it's this same type of light just brighter. It was 2,800 lumen.

      I picked up these when shooting a train on trestle about 30 feet/10 meters high so I could set the ISO low to avoid noise. It worked out well and they also have battery powered version if one doesn't want to string extension cords around hooked up to an inverter in the car. The upside for me is that I can turn them all on at once when they are corded.

I love how you check it all and make sure that you got rid of all those imperfections, making sure that the image is as good as can be, brilliant ! I am saving this to my useful videos so that I can watch it over and over again till I learn as much as I can on how to get shots like this. Thank you for sharing this and showing us how to do these types of photo, I think it is great that you spend so much time helping us learn and it’s much appreciated 😁👍

    Most people go for 20-30 sec exposures and more subs (because then they can use it for 3 different things. Trails, timelapse or one high quality still)
    However, the higher ISO needed will reduce the color sensitivity of the sensor thus creating white'ish trails.
    I love the color your 3 min subs at low ISO creates.
    Fair dinkum fantastic work Richard 🤘👏

      @@nightscapeimages.richard The pressures on haha! My health permitting l hope to continue on my journey. I have a new project in the pipeline to donate framed images to feed4farmers to sell off as l always wanted my photography to matter and if it can help them to help our farmers l'm on the way to hopefully achieving that.
