Thanks Richard, I know this is from a few years back but I still learn from the videos. I'm always amazed at how much effort you put in for us to enjoy and improve our photography, and all for free. Legend.
Невзрачное дерево днём, превращается в фантастическое ночью ! Спасибо Ричард ! Как всегда Фантастически круто ! A nondescript tree by day, turns into a fantastic one at night! Thanks Richard! As always Fantastic cool ! (google translator)
If I ever make a trip down under, I'd love to be your sidekick for even one of these night shoots! Such fantastic work Richard and you do a wonderful job putting these videos together too. Thank you
ah again ASTROMAN what a great video and that 1 shot what a beauty yep we are blessed here downunder and you are right to just get out and track what you want to do in the daylight is the way to go bet you had a cuppa i shall be seeing you in the new year bet ya cant wait mate you inspire people all over the world and i guess we are all 1 big family along for the ride cheers an beers mate bobby j.
Another quality video with superb instruction, guidance and inspiration. Richard covers so much more than nightscape image capture, but in a relaxed and friendly manner. The quality of the images is simply outstanding.
You're right about the leg work. I just spent the whole weekend driving up and down farm roads looking for compositions, hardest part is trying to figure out who owns the land. So I done some letter drops hopefully I can access what I want
Picked up your videos around 4 months ago, love your work and as always look forward to future videos. I belong to the Caboolture photography club and a lot of our members view your images and we have been inspired to go out at night to try out your methods. Keep them coming.
Really appreciate the videos Richard! I can't imagine all the work you put in to making these. I'm just getting caught up on your last 4-5 posts as I've just returned from a trip shooting the Milky Way in the Big Bend area here in Texas. Thanks for the videos and the inspiration.
So much great informative information you always give in the videos. Fantastic shots. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Ready to put some of the info to work! A huge THANKS to you!
Dear Richard. I reflect now for since i follow you, what´s so attractive to other photographers that you are always able to contribute to our work. I´m pretty sure: You are one of the rare collegues who are still burning. Everyone can see it in every single picture/video. Your work is VERY inspiring for other Photographers, even if they dont`t deal with similar subjects. Keep goin Richard. Best Rolf
Love your videos. I've been researching cameras and lenses for months now and your videos have really inspired me to do nightscape photography. I have learned so much from you already and can't wait to buy a camera and start practicing what I've learned from you.
If your still looking for ideas, the yellow canola fields if lit right could make a great shot, or I love the painted silo’s, not sure if any of them face the right direction?
Hi Jeff, yes I'm always looking for ideas. I've already done both your suggestions although there are plenty of silos I haven't seen yet. Appreciate you watching.
Love your videos Richard. I would love to see the Australian night sky and participate in one of your workshops. Thank you for sharing your time, talents and beautiful photography.
You keep my interest up in this type of photography. I purchased a Sigma Art 20mm for my D750 thanks for the recommendation. I just picked up a Sigma Art 85mm. Couldn't pass up the deal. Want to experiment some. Excellent video as usual Richard.
I absolutely love your photos and vids about how you achieve them. I've been watching them for a few months now. I'm in San Diego where the light pollution just SUCKS! I did manage to find a place about 30 miles east of the city where I've had some luck shooting (and even seeing) the Milky Way! So much fun. Thanks for the vids. I tune in every week now. Catch you on the next one! Gary
Richard I have been amazed at your skill in photography and the effort you put into your art, this video really hit me between the eyes! I pass by many farm ponds at work and have been trying to take some reflection photos when I can. I really want to try to get some photos like yours, I have a question would I be able to achieve similar results with a nifty fifty? thank you for any advice and I look forward to the next video. 😊👍
Thanks so much Alvin. The 50mm is a great lens for low light work as long as you can fit everything you want in the frame. Also it's harder to get sharp focus across the frame as the subjects closer to the camera may appear a bit blurred. Yes it can be done but the composition is harder.
@@nightscapeimages.richard thanks Richard, can you recommend a affordable lens that will work with the canon eos mount one that would have a wider focus range than the fifty? thanks again.
@@alvinmorris5404 It depends on which Canon camera you are working with Alvin. If a crop sensor then I love the Tokina 14-20 f2 .. it's excellent. If full frame then I'd suggest looking at the Sigma 14-24 f2.8 There are many others of course but it can get very confusing.
it is a good advice to find good location during the day, thank you. I try to fint, but i dont have soooo nice plases neer heer. I like to use water to.
Thanks once again for your wonderful videos and the amazing photos and the tutorials. I always enjoy watching your blogs and looking forward to your next one. Keep up the fantastic work you do as it keeps me inspired to go out and shoot more often. Thanks and cheers Richard :)
Great images. Night shooters should always be mindful of the odd breeze and trees as you could end up ruin your shots with the long exposures involved here. Ultra wide lenses may help a bit reducing the effect but they may not alleviate the problem.
@Nightscsape Images On "Tree of Reflection" you was : f/2.8 1/6400 15 sec shutter But what did you pull focus on.? The water, tree or the sky.? Thank you sir. You do wonderful work.
Well done, you’ve nail it again. I never thought to light paint to improve reflections, I’ll be doing that soon.if it wasn’t raining I’d be out there now
Hi Richard, thanks for another great video. Can I ask please, what determines whether you choose to stack images rather than take an individual shot? What effect would stacking shots at the second location have had?
Thanks Peter. I mainly stack for images that have lots of stars or darker landscapes. I find that when a scene is well lit the noise is less of a factor. I could have stacked all the images but I wanted to show that sometimes you don't need to go beyond a single image.
Impeccable artistry!! I find your style so fascinating. 2 Questions - 1) do the ripples in the water blur the reflection or cause noise? 2) are you light painting the tree and water or just the water..
Thanks for watching BigBro Bill. The ripples in the water will blur but they can also sometimes help the noise to be visible. That's where the stacking comes in handy. I'm light painting the tree not the water.
A great spot, certainly pays to keep your eyes open and you've captured it well. A quick question, do you have any recommendations for an offsite printing service? I like to print at home on my Canon pixma pro100s but find the ink very pricey so l'm looking to outsource my printing. Any help as always is greatly appreciated.
Hi Richard, thanks for sharing yet another cracking nightscape video... Question, has your camera sensor been reset for astro photography.? 'London UK'
"Do the leg work?" What viewers don't see, is your "leg work" in repositioning your camera and tripod again and again and again to capture footage in order make these videos. Appreciated.
G'Day Richard, you never seem to amaze! It's like you've got a third eye, wonderful. On a side note check out the link for another beaut shot: www.dpreview.com/challenges/Entry.aspx?ID=1114680 Cheers...Rodd (Pees and Gravy)

You are very welcome Bret, thanks for watching.
a good reminder that when the mw season is over you can still get good nightscapes by working more on your for ground comp. 👍
Thanks so much Adam. There is always something good to shoot under the stars.
I'm heading to the Grampians soon after some inspiration from your videos in the area. Always great to watch.
Good on you Matt ... you'll love the Grampians. Thanks for watching.
Definite favorite is the one shot image. Love it. Location was really great. Thank you Mr. Richard for another beautiful lesson.

Never thought of light painting trees in reflections, fantastic Richard. Thank you again for so the inspiration. 🙏
You're very welcome Royston

On "Tree of Reflection" you was :
f/2.8

fantastic very helpful for an a mature like myself, many thanks and keep them coming
Thanks a lot for watching Rick
Exeleclent video. Just wondering if you know anything about the Viltrox 20mm f/1.8 manual FF for the nikon z-mount? It’s currenly $300 US.Thanks
Hi Jeffrey, no I've never used the Viltrox 20mm lens
Well done, you’ve nail it again. I never thought to light paint to improve reflections, I’ll be doing that soon.if it wasn’t raining I’d be out there now

What time of the night did you shoot these wonderful images?
These were all shot well before midnight Darrell.

Thanks so much Doume. Haha, I'm not sure I'd make a good writer ...!!!

Thanks so much my friend. No my camera is standard.
Great way to start the day off with a cup of covfefe!
Sounds like a great idea Thomas
Hi again what software do you use for stacking thanks
I use the windows only free software called Sequator. The mac equivalent is not free and called Starry Landscape Stacker.
Frist time viewer great video. I not try nightscapes yet. Do you focus stack for those ten shots?
Thanks for watching Stephen. No I didn;t change the focus at all, they are all exactly the same .. the reason I stacked them was to reduce noise.
OK, that something good know. Thank you.
Great photos, and video. Do you use any kind of mapping app so you can mark a location during the day and find it during the night?
Hi Steve, yes I use my car gps to find locations. At least that gets me in the ball park if I have to walk a bit further from there.
Where do you get the music for your videos?
Thanks for watching. I get most of my music from Epidemic Sound. www.epidemicsound.com/
Great shots on those treas, i have a nikon d7200 and a nikon 16-85 3.5-5.6 lens can i do nightscape images with them?, as always thumps upp :-)
