Something i’ve been meaning to try is doing a roll of star photos then double expose some portraits or something, always thought it would look cool. Also! The wider your lens, the longer your exposures can be before you get star trails!
What's up man, I've actually shot film long exposures at night but I found it's hard to predict if you're going to love it or hate it. I think digital is ultimately better as you can see your results immediately and make adjustments. The main problem I ran into is if I do a 20 second exposure you can still see the stars slightly move and that's a bit annoying, I imagine a Sony a7s wouldn't have that problem though
I have an A7 and shooting at 50mm 1.4 the max exposure time for me with no star trails is like 4-5 seconds. If you want to do long exposures with sharp stars unforunately you need a star tracker or just find a sweet spot where you don't mind too much trailing. Can also take like 100's of pics and stack them but it can be loads of work to do.
Searching for an astrophotography video on medium format. Watched this video anyways, and loved it. Youve got a new sub in me and excited to watch some more!
My jaw dropped when I saw the price of the Portra 400 film. I did purchase a Portra 800 film in 35mm in 2020 for a concert and I don't think the price was outrageous then.
I love that you went with Superia, i wouldve never imagined it in an astro situation! Did you push it in development at all? I love your work man, and nam flashbacks be real
(3:30) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yep film sucks for shooting stars, but it's kinda great for star trail photography, especially if you are shooting with mechanical camera so you don't have worry about batteries (if the battery dies durning the shoot it will cut your exposure time).
It looks like you had either a lot of camera shake or your exposure time was too long. I have a Pentax K1000 and once I finish recovering from my surgery, I will be giving it a shot to shoot astrophotography on film. I plan to use my star tracker and film ISO 200 or 400 and either a 50mm to get a wide angle shot or a 135mm to maybe shoot the Horsehead and Flame nebulas. I hope I do not have any star trails or camera shake.
Sounds like you almost lived up to your IG name. lol. I've always been interested shooting the night sky and since I don't live far enough north for Aurora Borealis I'm left with stars and the night sky. That's not a bad thing. Have you heard about the Jupiter and Saturn conjuction in a couple weeks? On the 21st the two planets will be the closest together in our southwest sky in 800 years. The two will appear almost as one. I was having a quick habitual look at youtube for something to watch during lunch and I almost accidentally scrolled right by until I noticed it was you. No, there wasn't any unexpected expulsion of beverage when you admitted possession of a digital device. I confess I'd do as well. It's tough to shoot stars and not introduce trails. Isn't the suggestion keep the exposure time to 30 seconds or less? Ugh. I'm writing a book with no segue. I really liked the digital as well and because of the wider field of view but the the superia shots are nice and enough of a tease to try more. So, I really enjoy your style, sense of humour, presentation, and "eye." Keep up the great posts!
Wow this is probably the best comment I’ve read in a while lol Yes I’m planing on shooting stars again when Saturn and Jupiter align so hopefully I get cool stuff, unfortunately.... I will probably use my Digital camera again... but I do plan on shooting or wasting a roll of 120 to see if I can get anything I appreciate the feedback
Someone from outside of America I was dreaming about moving in USA and I was thinking about Florida (if I can’t doing well in NYC) and I am shock rn. I can not believe it there are alligators in Florida 🐊 that’s it cross the Florida on your list Suzi 📝✖️
Haha alligators are mostly harmless, I had a few run away from me. NYC is great, I would love to live there and plan on to someday. Florida is great for nature, beaches and it’s summer all year long over here. Where are you from?
Those digital shots were awesome, fun video! If you are interested in astro photography you should check out @jase.film on instagram. He is doing long exposures with a star tracker on slide film and it's just insane.
OMG YES I FOLLOW HIM lol he was my main inspiration for this vid although clearly I have to work on my technique Will go back at some point and film my set up during daylight and see what I can get at night I’ll even try to shoot 120 film 👀
I wish you had been smarter! You are playing music while you were trying to get us to listen to your teaching-what were you taught in school to make you do such a foolish thing? Did your teachers play music for you to listen to while they were trying to teach you history? You are not alone in doing this on RUclips. The world is full of fools.
Thanks for watching!!! Please Follow me on INSTAGRAM to see my work instagram.com/amadorama?

That Vietnam joke was such an out of nowhere joke. Love it. Keep it up
Gators favorite prey species are astrophotographers.

Yeah I’m glad a brought my digital otherwise I would had almost nothing lol

@@balmung1992 that's because of your lens. With a sub 30mm you could probably shoot a lot longer. Especially since it's full frame
@@Usercehdbf I’ll have to give it a go with my 28 2.8 then next time I have the chance. Thanks for the info.
@@balmung1992 np. Some astrophotographer even go as low as 16mm im pretty sure
You need an astromount to follow stars even if you are star yourself

I would say why on earth do you have an assault firearm but then I remember where you’re from. Those digital photos were really nice 👍🏽
😂😂 yep every household in Florida has an assault rifle
The gun in the video is actually a BB gun tho lol so no worries 👍👍
This is a moronic comment

Great video dude!!
Your videos are great very entertaining you deserve more subs

LOVE the 'Nam flashback!!!! LOL
Really awesome pictures! I dunno about those gators though haha.
5:01 we need the link to his Instagram😂❤️
nam flashbacks are real
Yo the digital looks really good. I have to go out there some time and get some shots myself
When you shoot stars with film try to push
you should tell some of those stories from 'nam

I can barely remember a time when Portra 400 was $50/5 rolls 😢

Hey, I want to ask what app do you use to know when and where galaxies and the milky way core is going to show up
Lol I'm a back packer 95% of my hikes are started after dark 10 to 15 miles at a time. I just rather hike in the dark
Beautiful pictures, everytime I try to photograph the night sky it does not work for me. Please speak in Spanish in one of your videos 😁

Why watch it then? I think you will find most media plays music.
