Thanks for this video, very helpful. I plan to use this advice in my astrophotography.
Great, have fun!
Thank you! Going to try it in Sweden next week, just bought the GM 14mm f/1.8
Good luck with seeing them and congratz on the Lens, you’ll love it!
good video! Thank you.
Thanks!
Going to Iceland in October - taking my Sony ZV1 but not 100% sure of Video settings or should I do a Time lapse. Total Noobie.
I am going to Lofoten in October and plan to follow this step by step for the northern lights! thanks! Is there anything specific for an a7c i should keep in mind?
Oh, that sounds great! I think you can follow the instructions on your A7C without large changes - happy photographing!
How’d your photos turn out?
@@erickolson6529 really good but i stopped using the focus peaking method as outlined in the video. instead i use the focus magnifier to make the stars very sharp.
Super helpful!! Thank you!! I am headed to Iceland in a week and I’m bringing my Sony a7iii with a f/2.8 16-35 mm gmaster lens. After watching your video, I went out and practiced for an hour in our Florida light polluted skies. The red peaking setting really helped getting the stars in more focus, but I they still have a slight blur. My ISO was around 400, f stop at 2.8, and exposure for 10-13 seconds. Do you think that because there’s so much light pollution, I could decrease my exposure time to get a sharper image?
There is many way to shoot auroras.if they are weak you can expose more to get some pictures. But when there is auroras what you can see with eyes and they are moving fast. you want use faster shutter speed. less than second in some case. It is hard to say what iso you want to use, it debend how bright moon is, or how much snow is in your picture. but with a7iii i would say 640-3200. And shutter speed 4-6 sec max otherwise you just get big green mess or plow out the hightlights. you can and you have to adjust exposure in post if the image seems too dark.
The slight blur is probably the movement of the earth, so a shorter exposure time should be fine!
Have fun in Iceland!
@@HendrikMorkel That could be true. I also didn't set a timer while practicing, so I should maybe set a 3 second timer as to not bump anything while pressing buttons. Thanks again!!
@@AmisCorolla perfect! Thank you for the words of wisdom. I'll definitely play it by ear when I get there, but now I at least understand where I need to be depending on the conditions. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I’m currently a Canon user looking to purchase a Sony, so watching your video helps me learn & understand the Sony’s capabilities. I’m also an astrophotographer, just experienced & photographed the 2024 total eclipse in the US, and now I’m in the market for more resolution. Will be in Norway soon to visit friends in Tromsø, I’d like to have my Sony gear dialed in prior to my visit. “A bad day outdoors is better than a good day in the office.”
