Should try the Mitakon 35mm F0.95. I use it on an X-T10. You can use a really low ISO when the lens is wide open. 1600 or lower
I also recommend the Takumar 200mm F4. The quality of that lens is outstanding. You can pick them up for around $30
Red flashlights are better night photography
"the most important thing and the thing I see so many people messing up is their focus"
as the video is out of focus heh
Thank you for your video. I learned a lot in a short time.
looks awesome

Great video Nick I'm new to photography and recently got my first mirrorless Fuji so will use all your tips to grab me some Milky Way shots, thanks for explaining the light fill etc of the tree found that super helpful as I read about it in a magazine but the explanation left me short, but no longer thanks to you! I'm now subscribed too 😉 cheers

Is he stitching or stacking in post?
Iso and cropped sensors have no relation to the final result. The final result, which can or cannot be grainy, has only to do with the fact that the pixel pitch of the cropped sensor at e.g. 24 mpix will have more noise than a 24 mpix sensor which is full frame. A 12 mpix cropped sensor will have less noise at the same iso (same processing camera), than a 24 mpix full frame… a typical crop factor is 1.5 – canon uses 1.6 to get away with cheaper lens construction for those cameras. So a 1:1 comparable result on a 24 mpix full frame would be a cropped at 1.5 = 24/(1.5*1.5) ~ 10 mpix
can you share the link from your big lantern?
thanks
Did I use my 50mm 1.8 lens for it
Starting around 4:00 when your head is moving around it is going in and out of focus. You’re only moving a few inches so your depth of field is very shallow. I have two suggestions: Move the camera further away for a deeper depth of field, or use a higher f-stop. I understand it’s very dark and for haps your light source is not bright enough for a smaller aperture. In the beginning of the video it seemed you were using a different light source such as your cars headlights. that lighting was better because it had more dimension on your face. The lighting around 4:00 is very flat and without much dimension.

great video. any turorialas on post?
The final image was worth the wait, wow.
Brilliant video very helpful mate now subscribed.
Planning to try for the second time on Friday night for the Milky way pic.
Can I paint this photo in a future video? I will give credit and link to this video.
Dude — the first pic with the ambient light from the car was better than the second! I love the way it lit up the foreground. I call those happy accidents. 🙂

Thank you very much, you explained it in very simple way.
