I'm having issues with pre-focusing. If I'm unable to pre-focus during the day, and it's pitch black except for stars (e.g. there's no moon out or lights around) how do I focus? I've tried it and the stars have been out of focus.

Hello Phil.. A BIG THANK YOU ... I tried your settings (well, I started w/30-2.8-3200 but I tuned up to 20-3.5-200). I have to say that after struggling for a few years to take a decent night picture, I finally managed to get a good one and I will keep practicing to get better at it. Again, thank you very much from Canada.

man, you just made what ive been struggling with for the past few months seem so easy in under 5 minutes. thank you!!!!

SUCCEESSFUL PEOPLE WANT OTHERS TO SUCCEED ,... THANKS FOR THE VIDEO .

This is why I love photography. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this. I made my first crappy pictures tonight with a 50d. But i had loads of fun and excitement with the experience. The fact that captured Orion with Betelgeuse, which is set to go super nova between now and 100.000, but still pretty close to go anyway made me so happy. When i look at Orion from my home town's nature, it is still filled with alot of light pollution. But the fact that for the first time i could clearly see the red glow around Betelgeuse.. well yeah its something small, but i was absolutely amazed by it. I definitely am going to pursuit this part of photography. Who know what i come up with to show you all too in the future!

My pictures have came out blurry . but now following his tips I've have taken very clear picture's..... Thanks

start by setting your focus at infinity, how much exposure time are you using? usually using the stock 55mm lenses i can get about 10-15 sec before the natural movement of stars gets motion blur. also use the temporizer to get not motion by pressing the button to shot. start with iso 1600 or 3200.

Thank you, I found this helpful. I previously shot star gazes on my t3i and found I was having to use an iso of 6400, I have since made the upgrade to an 80D and I'm excited to take advantage of the sensor. Camera seems to do a great job getting a clear sky and proper blacks. Thinking I wanna try a 15 minute exposure, I need a timer remote.

Now this is a great short and informative tutorial. Nice work!

thank you! so far the most simple, clear, straight to the point demonstration about night sky shooting I have seen. thumbs up!

Best tutorial I have seen yet. Great explanation that is easily understood. Thank you.

Great simple and clear explanation ! All photography videos should be like this. And well done for no product plugging. Much respect to the producers of this video!!

I have watch way too many video on night sky photography without suggestions of settings. Thank you for showing us your settings and how you get your shots. This video was excellent and motivates me to try again

THANK YOU! You gave me exactly what I needed to get on track with night sky photography. Again, THANK YOU!

Well done video, sir! Absolutely loved it, and did my first Astrophotography tonight! It wasn't perfect, but it definitely was exciting and not all that bad for a first time! Even caught a shooting star in one frame!! Thank you very much for your tips!

This was so helpful, I really appreciate the advice. This is going to make night shooting so much easier.

A few things that haven't been pointed out in this video: a) if you are using SLR, please use black tape to seal your viewfinder, otherwise there will be annoying lights reflected onto your images. Mirrorless ones don't have this problem; b), Aperture: as wider as possible; Shutter: 500/focal length(e.g. 20mm lens, 500/20=25s, so you shoot at 25s or less, otherwise it'll become blurry and you get star trails); c) you really wanna choose a spot that just a few people know, imagine, you are doing timelapse, and there are cars with highbeams keep coming in and with noisy crowds, that's not perfect

I'll definitely try taking some nice night sky photos this winter. Maybe some pictures of Northern light as well. Pretty common in my part of Norway.

I'm still getting too much light, perhaps I'll try changing the ISO and Aperture hopefully it works UPDATE: I put ISO to 100 and it looks perfect. TIP- Try experimenting with the ISO, Aperture & Shutter Speed for better results 💪🏻

@Dyna78

I keep hearing people say to shoot at high ISO numbers, but every time I do, they look super grainy, which is not too surprising as I am using a camera known for poor low-light ability. ISO 100-200 seems to be working best for me lately in current conditions, so I definitely agree that one should experiment with different combinations to see what works best with your camera, your light/darkness situation on a given night, etc.

thanks for your video.nice and quick and to the point.

Great video, short with lots of info, thank you!

Thank you so much, very clear, simple and precise. I can't wait to go back to Utah for some night sky pictures!

***** the easiest way to not get hand shake when doing a 30-second exposure, is to set the timer to 10 seconds, so after you press the shutter button, the camera will have 10 seconds to settle, and won't be affected by your hand.

Very simple and useful tutorial. No BS, justa what I needed, thank you

Thank god... a concise, yet informative video that explains exactly what you need to know.

some people say they can't get their photos to look like this because of their higher end camera. what do you think he shoots with? back your ISOs down, and decrease your exposure times. also, you're probably WAY too close to light, or pointing right at it. the higher megapixels also add extra noise you need to compensate for. these shots also aren't done at 10pm. these are shot between the hours of 1am and sunrise. that may also be your issue, the sky is still too bright. another issue is not knowing where you're pointing in the sky. you need to have a good barometer of the stars in the sky, or else you'll be shooting at literally nothing. a great app is SkyGuide, it tells you where everything is in the sky at all times, and will even alert you when it's time to go out and see a certain sky object. it knows everything from space junk, to stations, to stars, to galaxies. nearly every newer camera can do this. his settings are a good place to start, but they're not set in stone. everyone's EXIF data will look different every time. I shoot with a Sony a7 and also have a backup Canon 7D. both have different settings to achieve these shots, but, both still can. get out and practice!!

mattzx77 Yes you can. I've lived in very rural areas and this night sky is nothing unique. let's not act like canon can make starts appear out of blank space. No doubt there are enhancements in colors shadows etc. the night sky however is just as pretty if ur not in a city. Many photographers go to places like Chile to take photos of the Milky way. If it was the camera, they'll do it right here in American cities.

But surely the stars are at infinity anyway so focusing is easy, set it at infinity and that's it?

@paristo

9 жыл бұрын

New objective (with autofocus) does focusing over infinity, so you can't manually focus to infinity easily as you overshoot. You would need to set the focus distance to infinity mark, that depends from objectives is it at center, begin or at end or little bit before etc. Best way is to use live view and magnification to single star and then focus that star is sharp. And that is harder than it sounds as when objective focus over infinity, it does it very easily with f/2.8 and it requires very slight/gentle focusing. It use to be easy with old manual focus objectives as the infinity is where focus ring travel ends. Mirrorless cameras makes nightsky photography far more easier than DSLR allows.

@matty9460

9 жыл бұрын

So they focus to infinity and then keep going but back to close focus? I do recall some people complaining about L lenses for film as they didn't stop but I just thought they kept spinning but with no effect, interesting. It seems like a poor design, non of my auto focus lenses do that with their focus rings

@paristo

9 жыл бұрын

***** not back but over. It's required so the autofocus can focus over and detect it had gone over and return back to infinity. Otherwise autofocus motor hits the limit and gets damaged over time. On old fully manual objectives the infinity should be where the ring travel end, otherwise it is bad.
