I think Alyn would prefer that we think we have gained a new star. I think he’s up there somewhere shining brighter than ever. I for one won’t stop looking for his star. RIP Alyn Wallace such a great inspiration that man is. 😎👊👍🇦🇺
A happy and Holy Easter to you Richard! Your enthusiasm for landscape astrophotography is infectious. So sad to hear that Alyn Wallace has died suddenly. R.I.P.
Hello Richard, have a Happy Easter, may your trip to Tansmania be a photo success, because we all want to see those photos A piece of advice from a friend and photo traveler if I may, take a second body, and I would make the sacrifice even if I had to wash it in a small treker's pocket. Less than a month ago I was in Iceland and I lent my second body to a friend who, because he had an accident with his camera, is a setback that any photographer can face. Richard have a Fantastic Trip to Tansmania 😀👏👏👏
Thanks Mario. Yes under normal circumstances I'd be taking many camera bodies but this trip is not about me at all. I want to make sure I give my time to the other people coming along.
Happy Easter to you and your family Richard. 🙏🏻 Have a wonderful time in Tasmania. Look forward to seeing your images when you return. Safe travels my friend 🙏🏻📷☕️🍪
Good to see all of your images from your previous trips to Tasmania. So many locations look familiar having just completed a 3 week road trip to Tasmania. Very scenic destination. 👍😁😎
Hope you have a wonderful Easter as well, Richard. Sounds like a fun trip to Tasmania, and I am sure the ones going with you will learn a lot and have a fantastic time with you! Hopefully when you return you will be sharing some of your images with us and I will look forward to seeing them. Have a GREAT trip and be safe!
Happy Journey Richard. I've learnt from past years that taking less gear (rather what I need), helps in using more what i have in hand, knowing more about what i use (Including the limitations) and slow down in the process of photography instead of rushing and getting frustrated. Very sorry to hear about Alyn. His monthly "what is in the Night Sky" is an inspiration and has been an input for our plans in most times. Enjoy your trip and will wait for an experience vid after your return.
Always a major dilemma knowing what to pack as we always seem to want to take the kitchen sink along with most of our lens etc, I put an odd extra lens in my suitcase just in case lol have a great trip and good to see you will be doing something you don't normally shoot, but with your number one rule/key you cant go wrong. 2 whole weeks without you on a Saturday morning is gonna be hard to bear mate, but whoever you are doing the tour with is lucky to have your knowledge and expert way of teaching, have a wonderful trip away.
Wishing you a Blessed Easter Richard. I trust that you have a fantastic trip and I look forward to all the insights you will return with to share with us.
Thanks Richard! Deciding what to take can be challenging at times for sure. Good timing on this video, I'm leaving next week to fly east (from California) to shoot solar eclipse (total) and need to travel lighter than usual as I must make it to airport with everything I need on my motorcycle. But then, challenges are often fun :) Enjoy your trip and look forward to your future images!!!!!!
I have the same bag but found until recently i could never seem to arrange it to fit everything in(and i don't have much 😂) and i actually didn’t use the zipped section on the inside of the main flap, but now i have a few more cloths, hand warmers and the spare batteries that reside in that space. Look forward as always to the images, safe travels
At the end of the day the gear is just a tool we use in order to express our creativity and emotion through our images. I agree sure trackers and modded cameras are a great tool to help with that but sometimes it is good to get back to basics and remember how great and fun the process can be. Post processing is the other half of the equation with today’s modern equipment the possibilities are endless and amazing. Thanks once again Richard for another inspirational video. I hope you have a great Easter. 😎👊👍🇦🇺✨📷🔭
I absolutely love that you’re not vlogging the workshop. 100% of your time should be on the paid participants. I always think other RUclipsrs are cheating their workshop when I see them vlogging it.
Very informative Richard, I always wondered if I could travel by air for Astro, I believe you have the right approach, just being there is more important than all the equipment being there. Hope you really enjoy your trip, your images from your last Tas trip are amazing. Good Luck
The drama of packing.....Not 2 cameras is a mistake...imho...I was 2 weeks into 7 weeks in faroes and Iceland...my main landscape camera got water on the lens/body connector took 2 days to dry and was fine...but I would have lost 2 days in a tight schedule if I did not have my backup camera..... Tripods (surui) I break down and go in my check in luggage along with all cables and chargers etc.....to keep my carry on as lite as possible. This is what I will do when I come over in September for your astro workshop
Have a ball in Tassie Richard. Will be refreshing to have a different focus for a spell I'd think. Only just finding out about Alyn from the comments here. Such tragic news. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventure.
Hi Richard, again another informative video, especially good for me, if you remember I tend to bring too much gear, 4 or so cameras, lenses galore and tripods. Is this one of your workshops you run? Good shooting while you’re there. Love Tasmania.
Happy Easter Richard hope your trip to Tasmania is a ripper .heading down there myself in September (can't wait)any way looking forward to seeing you back on the channel soon . Scoota
Hi Richard!!! Your photos are so amazing to look at!!! I'm very inspired!!! Question- a few of your photos taken at the beach at night like the rocks and surrounding areas look well Illuminated how did you accomplish that! Moon light, or lights???? Will you be taking a drone too??? Have a beautiful trip!!!
Thanks Marvin. Those shots are long exposure ambient foregrounds. No moonlight at all, just longer shutter speeds to capture more light. No drone this trip.
The angst I went through packing for my trip to Norway! I don't know how many RUclips videos I watched trying to find tips from the pros who do this all the time. Because the destination was so far and I was going to do both nightscape and landscape, I wanted to take two bodies (D850 and Z6ii) plus lenses (14mm F, 20mm and 24 - 70 Z, 24mm F, 16-35mm and 70 - 200mm F) and two tripods (one for stills and one for timelapse of the northern lights). Then there were remotes, lights, a torch and head lamp, spare batteries, chargers, cleaning kit, filters. Oh, and my Air 2S drone. All of the delicate kit and essentials I could not do without if my checked in luggage was lost/delayed (chargers, remotes) was packed into my camera bag. I made sure that this was within the weight limits for international travel. Drone, one tripod and 70-200 went into my hard shell case for protection with the lens very well wrapped in soft clothing. Another tripod and anything else went into my rolling duffel. Macbook, iPad and hard drives were in my computer bag. To make sure my system worked, I rehearsed on a trip to New Zealand last winter and then out to Broken Hill last September. The trip to Broken Hill was important because the flight was on a DASH 8 which was similar to the flight needed to get into Leknes on the Lofoten Islands. As events unfolded, I had to remove the core unit from my camera bag because the airline wanted to place my bag into the hold for the flight. I bought the camera bag with this very scenario in mind and was very happy I could carry the delicate gear and batteries with me. Having my own rental car and a base to work from for several days at a time meant I could repack my camera bag to reduce the weight and take only what I needed to the photography locations. As the trip unfolded, my checked in luggage was delayed once on the way into Norway for a few hours and then on the way out it was delayed for four days! Fortunately, I could do what I needed to do with my cary on camera gear until my bags caught up with me. Being able to practice on two previous and less important trips meant that I was pretty well prepared for travel to the other side of the world! (The preparation also meant me getting my certificates and registering my drone for use in the UK and Europe but that's another story. We have it pretty easy in Australia.)
@@nightscapeimages.richard I hear you. Not my first choice but I really wanted the Z6 for the night although I ended up using my D850 more often than not. And I had my FTX adaptor in case the 850 fell over.
As yours's and Alyn's photos show the natural processes goes on, we just capture the moments. Have a safe and rewarding trip...BTW which tripod did you decide on?
Another great video! Have fun and safe trip! Awesome timing with this video as I'm flying to Las Vegas NV and then to Nelson Ghost Town in NV for a night photography workshop in about 3 weeks! Do you have any issues getting through security with all the camera gear?

Good luck Richard, have a great trip, I know you will enjoy it. May I ask what is the ball head on the Sirui tripo please, it looks to have a lever clamp instead of the normal screw lock? Oh and Happy Easter.
Stay Safe Mate ! R.I.P Alyn Wallace And I've found with the Ulanzi Lights I have two now one won't hold it's charge for more than a couple of days? have you found this with yours ?
For thenUlanzi VL49 light, Ulanzi them selves advise: "... 🔔Warm Tips🔔If it has not been used for a few days, please charge it before using it again to ensure that the power of the video light is activated (it is normal for most electronic products to run out of power if it has not been used for a few days) ... " This is just poor design. There is obviously a parasitic loss draining,the battery when it is off. The larger units do not have this advice, thus may not suffer that problem. I might consider purchasing the Smallrig version instead.
Another inspirational video once again, just as we lose a bright star from the astro community. R.I.P Alyn 😢
I think Alyn would prefer that we think we have gained a new star. I think he’s up there somewhere shining brighter than ever. I for one won’t stop looking for his star. RIP Alyn Wallace such a great inspiration that man is. 😎👊👍🇦🇺
Yes that's such sad news about Alyn Daren.
RIP Alyn
Do you know what is the cause of his dead?😢

Hello Richard, have a Happy Easter, may your trip to Tansmania be a photo success, because we all want to see those photos
A piece of advice from a friend and photo traveler if I may, take a second body, and I would make the sacrifice even if I had to wash it in a small treker's pocket.
Less than a month ago I was in Iceland and I lent my second body to a friend who, because he had an accident with his camera, is a setback that any photographer can face.
Richard have a Fantastic Trip to Tansmania 😀👏👏👏

Yes I never use the outer side zipped access as often something will fall out. I think the top zipped opening would be useful though.

I never had any issues in previous trips Jeffrey. I guess it may depend on the officers on duty at the various airports.
Some beautiful pictures, Richard and yeah, it's hard thing to choose when you're flying on a plane, what equipment to take?
Very true indeed Jeff, thanks for watching.
I hope your not here in Tassie now, cloudy and rainy for days, must be Aurora weather 😂😂😂😂

Of course you can get great Milky Ways photos without a Star Tracker- just take 15 to 20 photos and stack them in appropriate software
