Wow. Incredible amount of Information. This impacts my photography a great deal. I have struggled with LLL, wasnt sure of what I was doing, and not getting the results I wanted. Now I know what to do. Thank you!
Rafael mil millones de gracias por facilitarnos este video-curso! Me encantó y pude sacarle provecho para añadir equipo básico y de precios modestos. Gracias!!! 🥰
This was great. I am embarrased to admit that the most valuable comment for me was made early in respect of your eyes not seeing the low level light impact but the camera does over the exposure time. So obvious but had so passed me by! Really inspirational video. Thanks to Royce and Photopills for putting this out.
Thank you Royce and Rafael! This was a great class, as I had only done light painting or long exposure/blue hour blends for foregrounds before. Now I'm inspired to try this new technique!
This is a great idea I had never heard of before. Thanks. Unfortunately, in much of Europe, there is nowhere dark enough to see the Milky Way. P.S. Congratulations to Rapha. Children are wonderful, but I can now confirm that grandchildren are even better as someone else has the responsibility to look after them!
This was great. Sorry I missed your live presentation. Can you adjust the brightness and kelvin of the light panels you use remotely? The Lumbe Cube mini panels I use are great, but I need to walk to them to adjust the brightness and kelvin.
That is a good question. The more expensive Lume Cube RGB Panel Pro 2.0 not only has RBG and a wider Kelvin range than the Panel Mini and the Panel Go, but it does have a remote Bluetooth "Lume Control App." However, I think this only give you a range of about 50 feet (15 meters). To give you real on-location remote control, you'd need a range of at least 300 feet (91 meters). As yet, I've not seen a portable light with this capability.
Thank you for your detailed reply. You are correct, a range of just 50 feet wouldn't be very helpful, but 300 feet would be really helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my question.
Is there a way to calculate shutter speed knowing say the crescent moon apparent magnitude for a given ISO & aperture? I am trying to create a lunar analemma for my great great grandson who said tne moon has mumps when he saw itin my 5" Celestron. TIA
Rafael was a little difficult for me to understand at first because I don't speak Spanish, and Rafa's English does have an accent. All of the PhotoPills team comes from Spain. They are amazing. Rafa is a treasure. He really knows his stuff. I wish I could speak Spanish as well as he speaks English!
I noticed Royce's voice was much easier to understand, while Rafael's seemed to be a bit distorted. I wonder if it is the quality of the mike and sound recording each settings each of them uses...?
The only thing I really don't like about LLL is that you're forcing other people to use it, or work around it. Not a big deal if you're in a remote location with zero foot traffic, but if you're in a location where other photogs are shooting nearby, then they must accommodate it.
Good point. Whenever I enter a location where other night photographers are already shooting, I go around and find out how long they plan on staying at the location. If it's a short while, I just wait my turn. If it's going to be a long time, I explain my Low-Level-Lighting approach and ask if they'd like to participate and join in. Most are excited to do so. If they don't want to work together, I go to another location. Another possible conflict: Let's say you're going to do a time-lapse that uses LLL in the foreground. That could last for hours. This is one of the reasons that 4 national parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Zion and Capitol Reef) have put the restriction on the use of artificial lighting. Teton also has a restriction, but it is due to wildlife spotlighting. So far, the other 58 national parks (92%) do not, no do 94% of the national monuments, nor do any of the BLM lands.

So glad you added this to the top :)
Thanks Royce and Rafael for a great workshop - feeling inspired to get out. Pills is a great app and Royce’s techniques are amazing.
Thank you!
Amazing pictures! Thanks for detailed info and advises.
Thank you!
It was a great presentation! Thank you. It felt like a short time. I am inspired.
Thank you!
Royce is exceptionally talented and precise, a perfect example of the results of long-term persistence.
Yess!
Thank you (I'm blushing).

Really inspirational video. Thanks to Royce and Photopills for putting this out.
Thank you Keith!
Thanks Keith! Great catch :) I hope others will catch that too. Proper LLL is so dim and subtle.
What a great master class. I cant believe I totally engrossed to it.
Thank you!
Brilliant video, thank you Royce and the PhotoPills team.
Thank you Peter!
Thanks for the feedback Peter.

Awesome!
Thank you for the feedback, David. Hope you are able to give LLL a try :)

mmm... I'm afraid I'm not sure!
Great Video
Thanks!
Great video Royce!
I would love to see a new education/video representative. Rafael is awesome but a little difficult to understand. 😊
Me too! One day :)
Rafael adds value every time - dint change him ever :)

I actually like Rafael's accent and please don't change (unless you want too!)@@PhotoPills

Yes! 100%
