Wow Richard - such an epic adventure and great to see John featured in your video. The images were sublime as always - the lighting on both the bus and car shots was totally next level mate 👏👏 Your explanations on how you captured the shots are clear and easy to follow - if my results were only half this good, I'd be a happy man ha ha 😀 All the best 👍
Wow, what a treat guys! 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 Superb images from both of you (will have to check out Baillie’s too); amazing how you can make such wonderfully different images from the same location. Thanks for sharing, Richard.
Thanks as always for watching Paul. It was a delight to spend time with these guys. Everyone always has a different point of view and the variety is as they say . ."the spice of life" !!!!
Both of you created sensational images..... I know Lake Tyrell is famous for photos of the pink lake & salt crystalline structures.... you guys just trumped that !
Great results with your images Richard and John. As you know Richard, I've just been at Lake Tyrrell with John and Dan Zafra and we had perfect skies and captured some crisp images. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the bus. Next time! A welcome collaboration between you and John and Baillie. 😎👍😁
WOoOW Richard absolutely stunning location and images I think u have two 100% candidates for your 2025 calendar 😍 The bus and the wreck are sooo great. Is this location far away from your home? Cant remember having seen that one before. greetings
Absolutely stunning as ever Richard 🙏. I was shooting there two weeks ago on a whistle stop tour of the region... ships in the night 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome! Inspirational content. Thank you Richard and John. That bus is a great subject to practice light painting. Love the setting milkyway this time of year.
Richard great video, i had a feeling you two would meet up, I follow john and enj9y his channel, been kicking my self since the workshop as i drove right past lake Terrell. Two great night scape photographers in one show . Thankyou guys
Great video Richard. It is interesting to see the differences in how you approach the subject. I must admit, the light painting really makes a difference. As ever, I am envious that you have such brilliant locations there. Keep up the good work.
Great shooting 👌 fabulous to catch you and John in the same video. I met John at Catherine Hill Bay when some twit was shining a high power torch on the jetty so he could focus and bugger all other photographers who were shooting. John and I had a funny discussion about this guy 😂 Love all images, but my stand out would have to be the first of the bus with light painting. WOW!
Hi Richard I really enjoyed this video, very interesting seeing how you and John shot the same subject in your own unique ways. How good is Lake Tyrell😉
Wonderful video Richard, great to see you teaming up with another icon John Rutter. Great to see the contrasting takes on the same subjects by the two of you, absolutely love your old car shot. Was, cloudy, windy and raining when I stopped at sea lake last week, so decided to catch up on some sleep but definitely on the list of spots to revisit.
what an amazing area also for daily light adventures. Lovely footage from the air. Would be nice to see a panorama from your drone. Greedings from switzerland
Great work, Richard, and thanks for letting me get that same shot. Glad to meet you in the wife. You keep inspiring me to get out there and shoot, thanks.
Amazing images Richard. John has a new follower. Aiming to try some shots next new moon. Also need to get back to this lake for some photography. As usual your videos motivate me to get out and shoo!t :)
Hopefully John see's your question David . .he was still on the road til recently. You could check out this video of his: ruclips.net/video/ig5nd5pxLiE/видео.html John lists his gear underneath the video.
As always, love your images Richard! {A post processing video showing your PS sky replacement and how you go about it would be nice! Always a tip a two here is invaluable.}
Thank you so much for watching Kerry. I have lots of post processing videos on this technique. See here: ruclips.net/video/_2Zp1CyFic4/видео.html Or here: ruclips.net/video/K4bmef0k1kw/видео.html And yet another one: ruclips.net/video/3snX_1iCB1E/видео.html
Awesome results from both of you guys. Really nice to see what clear skies can yield as for us in the UK this is something that we are really hoping to experience some day!!!
I am so jealous of you guys. Looks like Australia has tons of interesting subjects in the vastness with little to no light pollution. No wonder you make so many awesome shots. Greetings from Europe!
Another great video. I just tried my first panorama using a Star Tracker, but without a pano head. APS-C format camera and either 20 or 35mm lens. So my rows travel in an arc, except the foreground which I could shoot without the tracker- making getting a decent result much harder. Would a pano head solve this issue? If not, how do I get flat/ horizontal rows???
Thanks so much for watching Mark. When I shoot tracked panoramas I use one of the Move Shoot Move "Alyn Wallace" V-Mounts. With this I can mount a ball head on a flat surface which makes it a lot easier to keep the camera level. It will eventually get out of level as the mount follows the stars, but you can make minor adjustments as you go to fix that. See what I use here: at about 13.30 ruclips.net/video/qeYrxtaKd3Q/видео.html www.moveshootmove.com/products/z-v-platform-designed-with-alyn-wallace-preorder
Thanks for the fast response. I am now back in civilisation so could check the link! I have a similar Z-adapter but el-cheapo with an Allen key that works from the inside🥴. It looks like I need to invest in Alyn’s version, as my current one loosens as soon as I look away… I’ll test it when home again at 61deg north to see what results I can get, before returning to Oz - hopefully next Milky Way season…🤞
Tx Richard, as far as I can see the main advantage of the Z is that it can be tilted in both directions, for foreground and higher elevation multi-row shots. 🤔 It would be nice if the bottom of it was a dovetail fitting so it could be secured directly into the tracker head.
Boy this was good. Loved the discussion about the how's and why's and then the awesome results, which were noticeably different. Great teaching, Richard, especially for this family just recently starting out on their Astro Photography journey. Particularly loved the telegraph pole image. Outback Australia, love it.
A very crazy video, Fantastic Richard, and with the participation of John. As always your photos Richard are very inspiring and with John's photos this video was awesome because Richard and John are photographers with fantastic work that I love seeing. Congratulations to both of you and a hug😀👏🙏
Great video Richard! This first shot of the bus and MW is just jaw dropping - the lighting in the bus and the sky details are just fantastic! was that a 20mm perspective? The following shots are great as well, but this one is just crazy. A collaboration video is great as well, always a good idea to have one more pro photographer to learn from.
Fantastic video Richard, and totally mind blowing photos, loved them all and its amazing how you can make even a telephone pole look great. This is always a great way to start a weekend, seeing how much enjoyment you get, making such wonderful art. Kickoff is soon so about to watch the All Blacks in the semi, have a wonderful weekend and thank you for being you.
Such a fabulous comparison between your techniques. Your light painting results are always next level - despite knowing exactly what you do mine never seem as good. The mixed focal lengths work so well, especially when you have a prominent, close foreground subject. Curious if it was a conscious decision not to display your settings on the images as you do usually - I'm sure we all know them now anyway😊?
Thanks as always for watching Greg. Light painting is an will always vary from shot to shot. I figured I'd already discussed the setting enough in the talk previously .. but I know a lot of people really appreciate the settings on each image . .as you do so well also.

You are also a legend my friend. Thanks for dropping by.
Nice shots
Thank you so much for watching.
Great video and photos. Love Lake Tyrell. Question though. Where is the bus? Have only ever been to the jetty!
Thanks for watching Megan. The bus is on the eastern side of the lake just off the Robinvale Sea Lake Road.
@@nightscapeimages.richard thanks!
Wow!! Amazing spots !! Another amazing video that I enjoy it very much !! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate that Luis, thank you.
Great images guys. Already follow john. Both excellent Nightscape photographers

Thanks Geoff. It's a big place .. lots to explore. Some really nice trees along the raised edges of the lake as well.
WOoOW Richard absolutely stunning location and images
I think u have two 100% candidates for your 2025 calendar 😍
The bus and the wreck are sooo great.
Is this location far away from your home?
Cant remember having seen that one before.
greetings
Thanks as always for your kind words my friend. It's about a 2 hour drive from home for me but I rarely visit there.
Absolutely stunning as ever Richard 🙏. I was shooting there two weeks ago on a whistle stop tour of the region... ships in the night 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
It's often like that Izzy. It is a pretty popular spot that's for sure.
Awesome! Inspirational content. Thank you Richard and John. That bus is a great subject to practice light painting. Love the setting milkyway this time of year.
Thanks as always mate. Appreciate you watching.
Another awesome video Richard. 2 masters of nightscape photography.

Maybe next time you travel past the lake Phil . .yes John's work is stunning.
Great video Richard. It is interesting to see the differences in how you approach the subject. I must admit, the light painting really makes a difference. As ever, I am envious that you have such brilliant locations there. Keep up the good work.

Wonderful video Richard, great to see you teaming up with another icon John Rutter. Great to see the contrasting takes on the same subjects by the two of you, absolutely love your old car shot. Was, cloudy, windy and raining when I stopped at sea lake last week, so decided to catch up on some sleep but definitely on the list of spots to revisit.
Thanks a lot Eric. Yes I was thinking of you that night when the rain came down. An excuse for another road trip ..!!!
what an amazing area also for daily light adventures. Lovely footage from the air. Would be nice to see a panorama from your drone. Greedings from switzerland
Thanks so much for watching. Yes I should do more drone photography. . it was a busy day and night up there.
WOW!! These images are just incredible! Love the old bus and your location! Thanks for the link to John’s information - his work is fantastic!!

Hopefully John see's your question David . .he was still on the road til recently. You could check out this video of his: ruclips.net/video/ig5nd5pxLiE/видео.html John lists his gear underneath the video.
Loved those images from both of you, how did you get on with lighting and shooting at the same time?
Thanks Suzie. We shot them one after the other .. although we did shoot the sky at the same time.
Fantastic Richard, great shots from you both.
Thanks so much for watching David
Brilliant work Richard, love the old bus.

You'll have to get up there at some stage Dominic . .it's quite surreal at the lake.
@@nightscapeimages.richard 100%, could spend a month up that way and still not run out of targets.
Very true @@AstroRoad
What a cool crossover! Well done fellas!! 🍻

Sempre meravigliose, complimenti.
Thanks so much for your very kind comments my friend.
Great video Richard 🖖
Many thanks indeed Gavin
Awesome results from both of you guys. Really nice to see what clear skies can yield as for us in the UK this is something that we are really hoping to experience some day!!!
Thanks for watching Thanos. We do have very clear and dark skies in this part of the world.
Well worth the wait😉
Yes it's been a while. Thanks for watching John.
Wow just wow!!! 👀💯
Thanks as always for looking Tom.
I am so jealous of you guys. Looks like Australia has tons of interesting subjects in the vastness with little to no light pollution. No wonder you make so many awesome shots. Greetings from Europe!
Yes we do have many places to shoot at night in very dark locations. Appreciate you watching.

Just on that .. I prefer the V adaptor to the Z adaptor. A little less movement a or flex.@@markcompton1249
Tx Richard, as far as I can see the main advantage of the Z is that it can be tilted in both directions, for foreground and higher elevation multi-row shots. 🤔 It would be nice if the bottom of it was a dovetail fitting so it could be secured directly into the tracker head.
Wow,wow,wow. Stunning images and that power pole! Wonderful collaboration and love your enthusiasm and excitement Richard.
You're very kind as always Dianne. Thanks so much for watching.
