  • Today I'd like to show you a very simple but creative composition that I wanted to light paint recently. It did present a few difficulties however but I'll show you exactly how I worked through those issues and came out with a couple of stunning nightscape images.

    Have been following your channel for a while now, and have learnt a lot 🙂 Although I'm in the UK - the land of cloud and rain! - I lived in NSW Australia for 10yrs until 2016. I didn't photograph the MW much whilst there for some reason - instead concentrating on deep sky stuff with a huge refractor telescope and CCD camera. Regretting it now! I recognise where your gallery was at in Bendigo - we used to go down that way Gold hunting; Eaglehawk and the Whipstick area.

    Hi Richard, what a wonderful image that you made from what looks at first like something very uninteresting. I wondered how you could possibly make a good picture from that small fence post and a couple of old bits of iron. Wow ! You didn’t hold back there mate, what a fantastic image, I love it. It just goes to show if you have a decent imagination and lots of skill you can make photos from anything….Richard you are the man for nightscapes! I agree with Tony, get over here to the UK, in my case, especially Scotland and do a workshop, I would love to spend a day (night obviously) with you helping show us how to make a decent photo along these lines :) . I do have a question meantime, I know you use star trackers etc. it is there anyway that these can be done just using your camera on a tripod, I don’t have a star tracker….yet lol . Thanks again for sharing and educating us with such a great video 😁👍

    Another great video Richard! When you listed your foreground image settings, you show f2.0-f10 and iso 800-1600. Does this mean you altered your setting for the foreground images and then stacked them in post, or did you keep the setting a the same for all foreground shots?

    • @nightscapeimages.richard
      @nightscapeimages.richard  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching Paul. I did shoot a couple of images for the foreground at f5.6 but I couldn't get focus accurate from front to back as I was pretty close to the fence post. So I stopped down to f10 to get a sharper and wider depth of field. I did still use the f5.6 image for the background part of the foreground. And yes I blended them all in using photoshop. It's really important not to move the camera between shots. Hope that makes sense.

  • @GreenBeret10th

    Very nice!!! Just curious… why the mini and not the Polaris?

    • @nightscapeimages.richard
      @nightscapeimages.richard  Год назад

      Thanks for watching. Well a couple of reasons for this shoot. Firstly time was of the essence . .and the Polaris can be hit and miss with setting up and getting it running. Sometimes it's really quick but not so other times. Secondly, I really only bought the Polaris for tracked panorama shoots .. .so in this case I wanted simple single exposures. . the Mini is just so easy and simple to use.

    • @GreenBeret10th
      @GreenBeret10th Год назад +1
