[@MotoRich900]

My Pentax K1ii has always had the ability to expose up to 20 minutes in bulb timer and up to 5 minutes using the Astro Tracer function which moves the IBIS señor to follow the rotation of the earth.

[@joe3eagles]

I prefer the IBIS señorita. It's better looking than the señor. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) 😂🙄

[@ickebins6948]

Nice to see that you are a sock connoisseur aswell. This is the kind of commitment I expect from this channel.

[@grosema]

Good Show Again ... you might want to get the (Move Shoot Move) for Star tracking it lets you track the stars so you can keep the ISO Low with Long shutter speeds and not have the star Lines ... I have the Fuji GFX 100 and the 23mm

[@geekinthegarden3927]

Gorgeous photo. If you throw the pasta to cook in the same pan, it soaks up the juices so it doesn't have to reduce, uses less propane as you only have to heat one pan - plus one less pan to wash.

[@deblashbrook3209]

You guys make the best team, wish your special offer on the book would last another two weeks longer, that way I can gently encourage my family to buy it for my birthday lol. But to be serious that was a great video, and again learnt so much…thank you so much, best wishes to you both.

Gavin employs very interesting color and light/lighting management in photograph post-processing . It is visible at these vlog pictures.

[@thismonolife]

The Z series mark ii and Z9 have the extended shutters up to 15 minutes. Comes in handy on a tracker keeping all the ports closed.

[@readitoutloud]

I use that feature regularly not just for astrophotography but also long exposure day photos with ND filters.

[@thismonolife]

@@readitoutloud The only downside is they never added it to the original Z lineup but added it to the D780.

[@readitoutloud]

@@thismonolife always thought Nikon would chuck that on the Z mk1 as Xmas present firmware upgrade. For all the brave hearts that walked the plank with the original Z cameras.

[@debrareither4682]

Enjoyed this so much Gavin! You are so lucky & I think it's so wonderful to have the "support " of your mate with you, etc. Thank you for the humor with your adventure. You guys are great together 😂😍🌞🌠📸

[@MrTwister3356]

Fully agree on the shutter-timer thing....I have the Sony A7R3 and A9.....when you dish out that much coin for a camera, you would expect no limit on that sort of thing....firmware fix would remedy that.

[@fototripper]

It would. Still waiting Sony...

[@luboinchina3013]

I like that you are not disappointed by the clear blue sky and do the astrophotos in the night. I don't know what are the other photographers bragging about. Stars and nebulae in the photograph look much better than clouds. And I also agree with you about the camera settings being so stupidly limited. Eg, no HDR Timelapse, no Long exposure timelapse, I mean 3-5min exposures, no 15fps or 10fps video mode for dark night video with 1/15 or 1/10 shutter speeds. Those are just few that I am missing. Or cropped mode 1080p video mode for zoomed 1x1pixel ratio video. By the way, astrophotography rated cameras like Nikon D810a or Canon Ra have long exposure modes built in the system. Also have you tried astro modify some of your older cameras for Hydrogen Alpha pass? It can do magic with astrophotography. Also the software called Sequator can stack star images and foreground images separately for better noiseless star images. And as usual, excellent video.👍👍👍

[@ickebins6948]

Socks that don't match in colour are a must when hiking and also when cycling (people get so pissed... ) To be honest, I started doing it to stop taking myself too seriously. Another alternative, different coloured shoelaces.

Awesome video! Always a great watch! Just a note, there is no Antelopes in North America. They are actually Pronghorns. Look similar, but are a completely different family of animals. Thier closest living relative funny enough is a giraffe, followed by a goat. Hence their nicknames... "speed goats" 😁

[@DJ_Media]

Marvellous... just what I need whilst cooking Tea! First one here too :)

[@duncanwallace7760]

I was thinking the same thing, that light was helping!

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

Completely agree regarding the 30 sec limit. Before switching to Sony I used to shoot with the Pentax K-1, in which you can set the shutter speed to whatever you like without a cable release. It also has the "Astrotracer" function allowing the sensor to track the motion of the stars giving trail-less stars and much less high ISO noise for up to five minutes! This is about the only thing I miss about the move to Sony. Of course, Astrotracer blurs the rest of the scene, so you need to blend this with a shot without the Astrotracer.

[@P.W.R.]

How does that Astrotracer work on the K-1? Does the sensor itself move or does it shift pixels to counteract the rotation? Do you still need to align with polaris for it to work? How long can you expose for with that enabled? More cameras need this! No need to lug around a star tracker with a feature like that. Unless you want really long exposures then a star tracker is needed, but you can get away with vivid starry skies with 30 sec exposures no problem if you combined this feature with fast lenses. Canon and Nikon should do something like this.

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

​@@P.W.R. It moves the sensor. Basically, it uses the on-board GPS to locate you on the earth's surface together with an internal compass/gyroscope to determine orientation, and the system that normally controls in-body stabilization slowly moves the sensor to compensate for the rotation of the earth. You don't need to align it with Polaris or anything, although its a good idea to calibrate the compass before each session (a simple matter of rotating the body in three axes). You have up to five minutes before you reach the limit of the movement available in the sensor. That's 3 to 5 stops of high-ISO noise improvement, depending on speed of lens and conditions! It's a really neat idea, but I wonder whether it might be patented.

[@brettpatching]

@@AmorLucisPhotography Cool!!

[@brianlaunchbury4491]

On my Olympus you just use live composite and watch the picture develop on the screen, just stop it when you are happy. Lovely pictures.

[@pathogan4854]

Just leaving a comment to bump up your KZbin algorithm. And yes, they should let you keep the Fuji.

[@kenwebb9522]

Love your wife. She adds a whimsical touch to your videos. Has she got a sister? 🙂

[@rodmehta5356]

When I was a lad, the bulb timer on my Minolta lasted as long as I pressed the cable release thing. It was all about a strong thumb and a good way to compute exposure (with your brain). And there was no flippy screen either.

[@brianmckeever5280]

Fun as always! Nice shots!

[@kryststar6800]

This was soo cute and fun, thank you love you :)

[@jimsmith556]

I also quite like the effect of that light on the pinnacle. It could easily pass for moonlight - best of both worlds since there is no moon to mess up the sky exposure! The pinnacle is now the main subject, and a pretty one at that. Nice work Gavin and Amanda!

[@CallieRoseStark7]

Another wonderful video! Just spent the past two weeks binge watching your videos, which I noticed many people comment on that. Your videos are wonderfully entertaining and the photos are simply marvelous! Thank you for sharing them and your adventures on KZbin. Sincerely your new subscriber.

[@juanitakelly3082]

I'm glad you embraced the light in the end. Seems like it might have been boring otherwise!

[@carlmcneill1139]

I generally shoot between 3800 and 4400 Kelvin on my white balance. I could be wrong but I think every camera is close to the same when using Kelvin. I think the difference is in the other white balance settings. Day time on the GFX might be at a different Kelvin than it is on a Sony, Canon or Nikon and the same for the others. As stated by others, the z6 II (what I use) can go up to 15 min on the long exposure. I've used it for 4 min several times. If you don't have long exposure noise correction on you'll have to remove the hot pixels in post. There's an easy way to do that in Photoshop. I've also had times when my composition didn't work out when I was there shooting and had to make a last minute change. It can get frustrating. And the more complex the shot is the more things that can go wrong.

[@robertnystrom289]

It IS well known that rattlesnakes have an impeccable fashion sense. Clearly, your mastery of haute couture vis a vis sock selection mastery will ingratiate you to their community. They will let you pass in peace, genuflecting to your every step. On the other hand, the scorpions are wretched soulless creatures; incontrovertible fashion boors as it were. They are to be shunned. Loved the shot, by the way. No, not the one of your socks; around here, that's status quo. My in-home fashion consultant has reassured me that I'm perfectly dressed for the deep, deep woods.

[@astralbody]

Such a beautiful area! A lot of intimate comp opportunities and astro is perfect! Gorgeous shots, Gavin! As usual ;)

[@joe3eagles]

I've grabbed yet another useful tip from your video. I hadn't thought about time blending to get the appropriate amount of detail throughout the shot. Cheers!

[@nvwolfephotography]

Great shots, one thing to note is the Canon R5 does not need a remote to do longer than 30 seconds either. Simply go to Bulb Mode and use the lcd screen to take the shot. Obviously touching the LCD could potentially introduce camera shake but if you are careful with it you wont.

[@tamasnemeth2161]

To be honest, Canon has the Bulb mode with Bulb timer option (where you can set any time in seconds resolution) up to a decent length. For whatever reason not on the 1D line though... And Fuji was still focusing on films when Phase One had CCD backs with 1h maximum exposure time...

[@tompetersphotography]

That prolonged shutter time comes really handy sometimes and can save quite some time in the field. Would however preferred a built in timer so you could set it down to the second instead of one minute gaps.
