    I started watching your photography tips and I must say that I have enjoyed everyone I have watched. When comparing your videos to others I have watched, you are easy to understand, you don't keep rambling on, your straight to the point on the subject matter. I am an older man in the USA and just started Photography with a Nikon 5300. Thank you for doing what you do...I am learning every time i watch. Don't stop!!

  • @tomkirby3281
    @tomkirby3281 Год назад +4

    The books I've read talk about the rule of 500, where 500 divided by focal length = longest exposure before the stars start to trail. Since I have a Canon T5i, I have to account for the crop factor. Thus, my shortest focal length lens is a 16mm F2, but the formula is now 500 / (16 * 1.6) = 500 / 25.6 = 18 or 19 seconds maximum exposure. Hopefully, I'll be able to try it out this fall and see how it works.

    Watched your “How to Photograph the Moon” video many moons ago (sorry about the pun) and it improved my Moon shots instantly. Thanks for your tip on using live view to manually focus, will take that on board next time I do any night photography. My old camera didn’t have it and as you say focusing on stars is difficult. Another thing worth mentioning is to use a 2 sec delay or remote shutter release so the camera has a chance to settle, any movement whatsoever results in blurry stars. Keep up the great teaching Paul, I have found your channel invaluable over the last 3 years or so 👌👍

Thanks for your tips and advice, especially letting us know about the Light pollution website it will come in handy. Must admit that i haven't tried Astrophotography it looks really cool i might give it a go. Great video, thank you. 😃👍

    Just a technical point, when you format a card the images aren't deleted. What is removed is the File Allocation Table or FAT. The images are fine till you overwrite them. These recovery programs rewrite the FAT.

    The lean isn’t from wide angle lenses. It’s from tilting the lens up. Can be fixed using a shift lens or shift adapter like I’m using with 645 lenses on my Z8

    Thank you for yet another informative video, and the stitched image was great! My question is which lens feature trumps - lens angle or aperture? I have a 50mm f1.4 and a 16-80 f2.8 to choose from. I would appreciate your input. Thanks, and Cheers!

    • @photogenius
      @photogenius  Год назад

      Great question, I would put angle of view over aperture as it affects composition which is so important and can be often overlooked. The 26-80mm lens would be great for Astro.

    Another great video Paul. As an aside Paul, how do you get the screen with the three dials on it, showing adjustments as you make them? Shutter, aperture and ISO. I have a D7200, D7500, and a D500, and I have no idea how to get that handy 'display.' Cheers mate.

    • @photogenius
      @photogenius  Год назад

      Hi David, the animated screen is only available on some cameras (mostly entry level). It may be an option on the D7200 and D7500 - go to Menu > SETUP MENU > Info Display Format and select the graphic display.

    Worth mentioning that Planetary and Deep Space Astrophotography are different disciplines with in the "Genre" each with very different requirements and techniques.

      Going to say it Paul, at the price point, I am fascinated by these smartscopes, well we all need a diversion or a gadget to play with from time to time lol, .. 😎
      ZWO who are developing the SeeStar are well known for their range of dedicated Astrophotography cameras, many serious Astrophotographers use ZWO kit. Compare the Dwarf2 at about $500 (US) with the Stellina Roboscope at about $3000 (US) you will see the fascination.🙂🙂.
      British RUclipsr Astrobiscuit did a shootout between the roboscope and a frankenstein imaging rig built to a similar specification. The results of his little battle are quite scary.

      ISO reflects, basically, how “sensitive” the camera will be to light. On a bright day, use a low ISO number like 100 or 125; use ISO 400 on a cloudy day. Indoors, you may need 800, 1600 or higher. This is a basic photography element, as are f-stop and aperture.
      Find a very basic photography tutorial to become thoroughly familiar with these terms and settings.
      PhotoGenius may have a video on how to use your particular brand/model of your camera. If not, check for a RUclips channel from the manufacturer of your camera. This is how I became proficient with my Nikon.
      Good luck!
