    Great shots! The green in the sky isn’t aurora, it’s airglow. Very common at all latitudes. The green bands slowly move across the sky. Airglow can be red as well.

    Several weeks ago you requested feedback to help you to improve the views of your videos which had fallen over the past several months. While I didn’t comment at the time, I’d like to take this opportunity to let you know I am enjoying your most recent presentations and now look forward to seeing new material. From my perspective, your videos have much more useful information and provide real learning opportunities. The humour has been toned down to a level that now compliments the information rather than being overdone. In short, well done Gavin ( and Amanda), thanks. In any event that’s my opinion, for what it’s worth.

    x2d has a lot of hidden funcition, one is "focus on infinity", you can attribute that function to a button, you press it and bam, you are on infinity. That can be a 4th method ! i didn t know about pressing the infinite symbol on the viewfinder !

    Your kitty is beautiful and was so nice to see a Milky Way shoot again! If you are having trouble with vertigo, we have seen it fixed quickly by a chiropractor and the sooner you go in, the faster it stops. I hope you get relief from it quickly and it doesn't return. That's a bit scary that you are out on cliffs at night with that. We need you to live a lot longer!!!! - a faithful fan

    That was funny when you said you couldn't focus on the brightest star in the sky because it was daytime. You just needed a really dark ND filter so you could focus on the sun. Those images are drool-worthy. Loved the long exposure night sky and the beautiful crisp roots and bokeh. Thanks for another great video Amanda and Gavin!

Don't know if you can, but if possible, could you make the raw files available for download? Maybe you despise the idea, IDK but it would really help people see for themselves on their own, the beauty of the Hasselblad system.

    Piss-your-pants funny, as always! Amanda should release a book called “Chasing Gavin”. Would be nice if Hasselblad sorted their supply issues. I had two XCD lenses on order in Australia for months (90 & 28). In the end, I got an 80 1.9 from a dealer who was holding it for a client willing to cancel; and a Voigtlander 21 (Leica M-mount + adapter). The 80 is delicious, but weighs as much as my head! The little Voigtlander is a work of art. Loving the X2D. Thanks for the valuable tutorial, mate. Time for me to get up at sparrow’s fart and do some astro!

      ​@@fototripper The Novoflex, which works a treat, and is built like a brick sh*thouse. Some vignetting is present - I can remove a bit of it with a Camera Raw lens profile, but the rest I crop out. I figure it's like having a 25 or 28mm lens after cropping. The Voigtlander Nokton lenses are really beautiful - and sooo much cheaper than the H lenses.

    • @fototripper
      @fototripper  6 месяцев назад +1

      If you’re shooting mirrorless lenses, there’s an option in the menus where you can decide if it keeps the last focus position or it resets to infinity when you power up the camera. In other words you can have the lens default to infinity when you power up the camera. Set up your shot, turn the camera off (resetting it to infinity), power the camera back up and immediately set it to manual focus. The lens should now be locked at infinity.
      I use a Z7 II for when I need to go light, and it’s found in the wrench menu (Save Focus Position). You need to set it to Off.
