I'm a Huge Fan Of Your Incredible Knowledge. Thanks Professor👍👏 Knowledge🌌🌞🌎Is My Number One Favorite No Matter What!
What if the camera doesn't have infinite focus?😐
Wow! Amazing Photography!
Hi Tony, theres sth u reli hv to help me! Ive shot some photos in long exposure and edit in b&w. After stacking photos in starstax with photos edited in NEF(RAW) in Lightroom, there are colour banding in the white areas of the photo especially in the sky(as my photo has skies in it), how do i solve this prob?
Hi Tony. Thanks to you and Chelsea for all that I’ve learned so far from watching your tutorials. I’ve only been experimenting with photography for about a year now and I have a question. In the beginning of this video you mention that a cold night is good but I have concerns. When I bring my camera back inside, after photographing the stars, will condensation damage my camera?
Couldn't get Starstax to work.
Suparb tutorial, thank you very much😃👌
Beautiful Photo Tony
How to prevent battery from dying during all that shooting?
Omg. I love this.
Ditch lens caps? Why does he say that?
My lens doesnt show focus points on it… is there a way that ı can find the infinity point ?
you mentioned in the video that this was 300+ exposures/2.5hrs. But I put some trails together and 45 exposures stacked almost seemed too much. Any reason in the disparity in the number of stacked exposures? Could it be the time of year?
garbage
Hi.
Nice tutorial. Dew tip: You can buy USB powered lens heaters to keep the dew off of your lens, this is much better than trying to fight the dew with a cloth.
how to apply editing to all the photos?
Nice trick with continuous shooting instead of B mode and one exposure.
how do you apply one pictures settings to the whole group?
Hi friend, I will propose you a new project, I hope you can do it and upload a video to youtube showing us the result of this. I cannot do it because I don't have the ways to do that (like the camera). The project is very simple, I see many videos showing STAR TRAILS but I cannot found a video showing CLOUD TRAILS and I'm not meaning CHEMTRAILS, I'm telling you to record the clouds in the same way as you do with the stars. I want to know what is the result of this, maybe its a great clue to know more about the earth "rotation" or the movement of the skys. thanks.
Just bring a flashlight with you so you can see what you're doing. The ones that you can wear on your head free up both your hands.
You must be a flat earther
Very nice!
Is this a video? I just see a pic till end 🤔
It used to be so simple with film. The most important thing was aperature setting. The rest was in the developing and printing. Dodge burn here and there. No way could you sharpen it. Amazing.
cesar milan really lost weight
You sound like CGP Grey!!!
Tony with facial hair, before my arrival to this channel!
research flat earth…….. 🙂
Why would you ditch your lens caps?
Open the shutter for two hours and rotate the camera simultaneously to the rotation of the earth…
It looks like he spilled coffee on his very nice sweater, but I don't think that's what happened…
Is there any other alternative for the remote?
Just bought the
How to Create Stunning Digital Photography, and the two recommendations that goes with it… I look forward to using and will be commenting on them, thanks for the video tutorial.
Does your book on Amazon "How to Create Stunning Digital Photography" covers the details of this video? Thanks,
Great video Tony.. Thanks a lot…
Those flat-earth cavemen need to start taking notes.
Not to go off topic, but shooting star strails proves that the earth is flat. Supposedly the earth is spinning, and that means your tripod is too (unless you're at the exact north pole). So how on earth, if your tripod is spinning for several hours, does Polaris stay a centred dot? It should be a U-shaped smere, because you're camera and tripod have shifted position.
The only way your fixed tripod and camera can keep Polaris centred, no matter what latitude you're at, is if the stars rotate around you, with Polaris being the centre of rotation.
The earth is stationary, and the sky is one, giant rotating something lol
Peace
