Orion's Farewell: Nightscape Photography Adventure in the Mountains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- In this landscape astrophotography adventure I capture the star constellation Orion one last time this season. To reach our shooting location on top of the mountain we first have some rock climbing to do. Not an easy task for a guy from the flattest country on earth. I end up making a focus stack and exposure blend for my foreground. The sky is tracked on a star tracker and stacked for noise reduction.
Without knowing it at the time of filming, this was the day Alyn Wallace passed away. I lost someone very dear to me and the astrophotography community I love so much. Without Alyn this channel would not be there. On that same night I also made a new friend in Jan @Seegurkenwombat (@andersart.ig on Instagram) which I am grateful about. I hope we all can keep Alyn's legacy alive, if only for just a little bit, by continuing to spread our enthusiasm of the night sky.

Thank you for dedicating this to Alyn. I didn’t know him, but I feel as devastated as everyone. Thanks for taking us along for your adventure. Clear skies. RIP Alyn.
It feels like we all knew Alyn a bit even if we didn't meet in person. Great to hear you liked the adventure. I hope there will be many to come!
We all will miss Alyn Wallace 😢😢
Nice to see you both in one vlog and amazing details out of this "lightpolluted" area
Thanks a lot 😊
Alyn Wallace was my inspiration 💔😭
Same here
Hey Jeroen, I do cite you for the others: "Feels like we lost a friend but also gained a new one." Farewell Alyn. It was so nice to have you here as a guest! Great vlog and such a nice memory of that night. We will do an exit sesh, of course! 💪 Thanks again.
You say that very well Jan. It feels exactly the same for me. Besides that, what a great night we had dude. Thanks for showing me around and super happy you like the video!
Favorit Vlog now...! So good to see you and Jan in one Video...:) Great work!
Haha, awesome to hear Benjamin! We had lots of fun also doing this!
The extra H Alpha adds just that little bit is awesome. That's my pick. Love the video
Thank you Tim! I think I prefer that one also. The only thing I dislike there is thatbI didn't shoot the h-alpha data on that same night. That feels off somehow. What's your opinion on that?
It's so awesome to see everyone deticating their videos or posts to Alyn. It really shows how great this community is. Amazing video as always. Can't wait to see what is planed for mw season.
Alyn was such an inspiration to all of us! And thank you! We had a great time. There's always plans, now if only the weather would play along 😅
Thank you for dedication this to Alyn.
You just got a new subscriber.
Welcome to the channel! Without Alyn this channel would not exist.
Great Clip Guys! ❤
Thanks Burak! We had lots of fun 😎
"We have just climbed this mountain" 🤣😂 120m above sea level haha.
Love the vlog though and both yours and Jan's images are awesome from my favourite spot in NRW 🤩 👌🏻
Hahaha, everything more than a meter high is a mountain for a Dutchman 😁
Hello form Germany Cologne! Good Work 😛
Thanks Uwe!
Another great video, really sad about Alyn Wallace, i live in Wales not far from where he used to live. He taught me so much about astrophotography, i will really miss him.
Thank you! We will all miss Alyn a lot. I hope we can keep the astro spark alive together!
Fantastic video, Jeroen, and what an epic location!! Looks like you and Jan had a great time, and a fitting farewell to both Orion and Alyn.
I once used that opening music in a hyperlapse of the London Eye! The music is great but my hyperlapse wasn’t!! 🤣🤣
Thanks Paul. We definately had a great time. And yeah, we lost a friend but I also made a new one.
Epidemic sounds users tend to cross eachother in music choices every now and again, right? 🙃
A processing video would be amazing :)
I do have a couple of processing videos on my channel, including hargb which I did here. Hope that helps!
Amazing video Jeroen! It's great that you dedicate the video to Alyn. He will be missed. I learned so much from him and I think we all did 😢
Thanks man. And you are 100% right about Alyn! ❤️
Hahahah :D you two! This is hands down one of my favourite vlogs now. Two friends with whom I am in regular contact in a single video... been waiting long for this to happen and you didnt disappoint!
Hey Matej!! I see myself smiling in this video a lot. So did I while watching the vlog. I am SO hoping for clear skies for Uros and you tomorrow so I'll get a great vlog from you both as well! 💪
Great to hear you liked it Matej! We had so much fun! I think I can speak for the both of us that we are loojing forward to your next video also! Pray for clear skies 🤞.
@@Seegurkenwombat I beleve you 100% as I can see you two had so much fun :D. Sadly the weather is all over the place and it seems Uros decided to go to the seaside this weekend.
@@StarScaperPhoto I cant wait myself to go out again, but really cant say when that is going to be :(
@@matej.mlakar ahh, shame the weather looks to be letting you down again.
Keep uploading Bro, and please continue your astro vlog 🙌🌌
Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying. That's the plan!
Great vlog Jeroen. Glad to see that you dedicated to Alyn.
Loved the shots of Orion its the best constellation we have in my opinion 👌🏻
A great watch as per usual. Good luck and clear skyes🤞🏻
Thank you for watching and commenting again Roy! Dedicating it to Alyn was the least I could do for someone who brought to much to our community. And totally agree on Orion being the best constellation! Although I'm super looking forward to some Milky Way core shoots also!
@@StarScaperPhoto Dont forget that you dont need to freeze as much either on some parts of the milky way season 😁 looking forward to it myself 👌🏻🙂
Yes, that also helps! 🙃
Great to see a couple of lads having a great time out shooting the stars! Amazing h-alpha details there. Truly upsetting news to hear about Alyn, he was such a positive influence for so many and a great astro ambassador.
Thanks man! I love shooting with friends. To me it makes the night twice as fun.
Weer een fijne video Jeroen! Ben wel benieuwd hoe Jan zo veel details er uit kan persen.
Dankje! Doet ie goed idd! Hij heeft op locatie een h-alpha laag geschoten en die er fors in geblend. Ik ben daar deze keer heel subtiel mee geweest. De overige processing trucs ga ik voor op onderzoek uit ;-).
Great video as always 😊. I liked the original image better imho.
I’m looking forward to more collaborations 😉
Thanks for letting me know!
