Aurora (Northern and Southern Lights), Lunar Eclipse, and Zodiacal Light

I've seen upwards of a dozen videos on how to shoot the Milky Way and yours is far better than any of the others. You simplify this process for ordinary mortals like me and I will be using your tips to shoot the Milky Way myself this spring. Thanks for helping take the mystery out of this task!!

That was an extremely well done video. Right length, the instructor was interesting to listen to, and the content is very repeatable for everyone. Thanks.

Right length?? Do you have the attention span of a hamster?

Excellent, Thanks to Canon Thanks to Matt for an exceptional Walk Through and Big Thanks to Team B & H Always Awesome

Thank you Matt - extremely helpful.

Nicely done video. Here's a trick in Lightroom select sky, then invert that selection and subtract sky. It makes for a better mask and make sure you inverted back to sky. The edge of the mask will be better refined.

Great video, I'll give it another shot tonight, but it seems to be cloudy again, like every new moon in the past couple of months. 😐

Excellent tips. Thanks Matt ❤

Outstanding Matt Thank you.

Outstanding

That was a really great video! Thank you

Very nice shots.

Great video, very useful tips.

Very nice work.

Well done.

Very helpful, thanks! Just wondering if you used electronic shutter to avoid any shake on the camera that the mechanic shutter might cause, even if you use the timer of the camera

Timely, headed to Powell to crack a few shots before moonrise.

Good luck out there - hope you get some beautiful shots! - Matt

Thanks for the great video, I have been waiting for that. I’m in Hawaii and just tried filmed the Milky Way with an erupting volcano in the e background, which came out pretty cool. I have an R6 with the 10-35 lens like you have, a nice tripod and I tried it at a higher ISO but about the same focal length and about half the shutter time. It came out pretty good, but I’m going to reprocess the photos to match what you did! I also noticed it looks like you were using an Adamos five? I have one but haven’t used it yet so I’m going to try using that, can you give any suggestions on using that for nighttime Photography? Thank you.

That sounds like quite an epic scene! I was using the Atomos Ninja to screen-record the camera settings for the purposes of this video, so I don't ordinarily use it for night time photography. Although, I do enjoy having a big screen. Thanks for watching! - Matt

Do you ever do AP with dedicated AP gear?

How do you get the foreground in focus in the dark? Unlike the stars that are emitting light, the foreground is super dark.

I shoot on fuji -how good is ligtroom compared to capture one for milky way photography?

You should use Sony A7S iii low light camera

How did you eliminate the sky at 8:18? I’m not sure what you did there. Thanks!

I used the Quick Selection Tool to select the sky on the foreground exposure, which it did wonderfully! Then I hit delete on the keyboard. Hope that helps - thanks for watching! - Matt

I was at the Comic campground to do my first astrophotography. it comes uneven due to the almost full moon and my struggle to get the camera setting. I Love your video tutorial. However, I am Deaf and I need an accuriate English subtitle. Google automatic CC doesn't have full accuracy so can you add an English subtitle in the future. I also would love to have a checklist and cheatsheet so I can glance at hand when I watch your video. Thanks

No tracker? Seemed like a great photo without it. Do trackers make the images a lot better? Especially if it’s wide angle stuff like this?

I wouldn't say trackers will make images "look better". It will defiantly help with not getting star lines in your photo, but it all depends on what you want in your images and what looks better to you.

No mention of UV filter. Leave it on?

What was the exact location of this shot? I am planning to go to Zion soon.

How did you get the shot of the foreground?

@BandH

I took a really long exposure greater than 15 seconds to expose for the foreground. This caused the stars to trail in the sky, which is fine since I deleted that part of the image in the edit. Another option is to take a foreground exposure at blue hour for a more even exposure. - Matt

can i shoot milky way with sony apsc cameras

B&H, can you buy me the Canon RF 15-35mm? :)

Do you have the Adorama links for the Gear used in this video?

What focal length did you use for that photo?

Pay attention.

Great video, but I wish you'd spend more time explaining what you're doing in Photoshop for some of us beginners.

@@BandH thank you so much! I'm very curious about the "feathering" of the border between the foreground and background, which tool did you use?

@BandH

11 ай бұрын

I used the erase tool with the hardness set to zero to feather around the top of the mountain on the foreground exposure. It's also worth experimenting with the opacity of the eraser tool in that scenario as well. Hope that helps! - Matt
