Damn, in Poland I can only take a photo of pollution and smog …

Am I the only one that's tripping out at 10:00 – 11:00 in the video
Excellent video my friend, lots of very useful information.
Hey guys! I have a Canon EOS Rebel XSi Model# DS126181 Camera With 28-55mm and a AF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 LD, can just buy a special lens to be able to shot stars and if so what lens would you recommend or what extra equipment would I need?. PLEASE HELP!!
Great info Josh. Can you suggest a good starting Camera and equip, all for about 1000.bucks? some of us beginners are on a budget. Thanks again for the super great info….
When I lower my shutter speed it doesn’t let me fix my iso
Take your Ritalin.
Thank you! After watching just this one tutorial I was able to capture a beautiful nightscape in my Missouri countryside.
Thanx Josh love this video. Deffo gonna be watching all your others. Nice and easy to watch and understand. Also a really nice guy. Peace always from the UK.
prolly got bullied for that helmet…
guess skating didnt work out…
As a guy from Idaho….. we're famous!
Reese is teaching me photography. Best day of ma life
Cool tips, but what a horrible autofocus you have. It stresses the hell out!
You might want to add that if you are shooting with an DSLR you might want to
turn on the Mirror Lock
Is 30" = 30 second timer? The photo at 0:04 really has some LOVELY colors. 😀
help me SCIENCE please https://www.gofundme.com/manage/p900-or-p1000-kit
Nicely done- direct- to the point. A very good starting point for some of us.
What the hell do you mean, don't like your work? Come on, it's beautiful! 🙂
All the Rokinon lenes are pretty good for a budget. I have the 14mm and the 16mm both very nice for Night sky. Also you can use live view to manually focus on a star. No need for test shots
thank you bud, that was very help full!.. I got a Fish eye lense.. is that lense will be the better for shooting stars? isnt that will have the lowest aperture of all lenses? I got the 7 artisans 7,5 mm … thanks for you help..
Im really new to Astro photo.. can i do it with the CANON 200D Kit lens?
Great job. Solid basic or nightsky photography. Thanks a lot. I kindly suggest you to shoot your tutorial videos with manual focus with a constant distance between you(a simple ground mark would perfectly work) and your camera to avoid constant AF adjustment of the camera.
Thank you for the tutorial! Super helpful.
You need a stabilizer for your neck/head mate.😁
Nice vid, thx 😀
btw i got the 8888th like lol XD
Why dont you go over bulb mode?
Josh….thank you. I've tried loads of tutorials and this is the first one I've been able to actual shoot the night sky…ok my equipment isn't what you've recommended (I don't have a wide lens) but none the less…the best results I've had so far.
PLEASE …STAY AWAY FROM MAKING VIDEOS ….PLEASE ..YOU ARE HURTING EVERY ONE WHO WATCH THE FIRST 5 SECONDS START AND NEVER ABLE TO CONTINUE …. THEY ARE SHY AND POLITE TO COMMENT WHAT THEY FEEL ….. ENOUGH PLEASE….
Thanks – very helpful and insightful!
Great vid can’t wait to get out there. Do you have any pointers on getting the focus down?
Thanks Josh, super helpful. I've just started into astrophotography with a recent camping trip to Death Valley then Grand Staircase NM. I was wondering why my shots were slightly blurry even with a tripod. But I think your shutter remote idea is the key. I'll be watching more of your videos, very helpful, thanks! Oh, and I love the light painting idea!
Hey I'm ready dam it..😀🐶🔭
With much appreciation for this beginner's guide to astrophotography…Thank you.
Not too sure which to get, lightroom cc plan or photography plan. Which are you using?
I know absolutely nothing about cameras. All this technical jargon goes straight over my head. I just want to buy a good camera and tripod and go take some cool pics. Help lol
