Astrophotography tutorial part 2 How to photograph the milky way

[@twobuckchuck7355]

That pano is absolutely stunning

[@GodIsReal]

For someone who takes such stunningly beautiful images, you appear very humble and down to earth 👍

[@THEMATT222]

Do you mean he might be physically down to earth but his skills are among the stars? (literally)

[@troyjones1826]

7:08 Squatch, for sure. Great video, thanks Nick

[@MarieElise]

I live in Switzerland, I really NNEEEEEEED to try night landscape and sky photography. Thank you for your videos !

[@DVZM.]

Schon probiert? :D

[@darekczyz8298]

Wanna be perfect to get that done with the Swiss landscape must be perfect for that type of photo 📷 😏

[@matthewdavidson9530]

So many tips plainly explained. Not too much pandering on and on. Also great shots! Subscribed from this one video.

[@mangoldm]

The sound of someone dragging a pipe down the road is pretty much the last thing I want to hear when in the middle of nowhere at night.

[@TalalAsameehan]

I come back over again not to learn to take a shot but to watch this montage. its awesome bro.

[@gabrielexchange]

Your milky way videos are the most useful I've found on KZbin! Very good pace and content. Thank you so much for posting them.

[@robgardner6399]

An excellent tutorial Nick, and as for the results, well they speak for themselves.

[@robwasnj]

"Off into the creepiness"... that so resonates having done a lot of observing with an 11" telescope in remote places alone. Getting a friend to join was easy the first time but after that most didn't want to sit in a dark often cold field for 2 hours looking at the stars. Having another person come along probably didn't make it much safer but it surely feels that way. Had one very creepy experience climbing a mountain at night with a friend where we found some human sized dolls stuffed with newspapers, stabbed and soaked with something red to make it look like blood. It has rained only an hour or two prior and the stuff was dry so it wasn't there long, this was also around the time murders were happening on the Appalachian trail. Still get chills thinking about this today even. One last thing, if you don't already have one a small headlamp with a red flip over filter is a great thing to have for night adventures, I'd also mention mirror lockup for some cameras doing this but with a long enough exposure it's probably not that necessary since the shake is a smaller percentage of the whole exposure (REALLY matters on 2 second and under exposures) Really great video too, you're a naturally good teacher.

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

The bright monitoring on the a7riii is a godsend!

[@steventweed3599]

Thank You, Nick! I went out Saturday night and caught some Milkyway shots with painted light on a red Hay Hook Barn. Due to my location in the mountains here, I only caught the Milkyway from Scorpius up. However, I am really happy with the results given that this is my first attempt at Astrophotography. Next Up: The editing process. Thanks again, Sir!

[@feichen714]

I have to try very hard to stay and take photos if I’m by myself at dark… definitely concur with ur tips

[@jaegerlecoultre1]

Thanks Nick for your effort. It's providing a great start for me. Much appreciated.

[@sutoreikyatto]

it's really cool when you all of a sudden see a shooting star in a photo

[@YourMajesty143]

That's a satellite, they're always trailing in nightscape photos. They can kinda ruin the shot. I try to avoid pointing south where they tend to conglomerate.

[@ClareCC0902]

Great tutorial - clear and informative.

[@Zanagash]

Rewatching this because Milky Way season is upon us, and this year I really want to shoot the Milky Way !

[@laurentbarthe4552]

Thanks a lot Nick, I'm writting from France, I do "countryside" DSO imaging for 3 years with a CCD cam / refractor, and now I wanted to start MW imaging the same time because DSO imaging, when it works well, can let you going on with other stuff all night long ;-) I've just got a 750D+15mm IRIX lens, and your video helped me a lot understanding how to get good contrast foreground noise free image and how to play with ISO to reach this goal, and I really want to thank you about it. See ya ;-) Laurent

[@Oo7Hola]

Gorgeous photos

[@Pilarmrader]

Thank you!!! amazing pictures. You cover all detail, well explain!

[@WT2D-Michel]

I have seen this photo on diferent places, great turorial.

[@rachaelridout1715]

I found your channel earlier today and they are so inspiring! It gave me the courage to go out and finally get my first shots! On a side note also heard many weird noises!

[@DavidH-fz8ky]

These superb guides and your brilliant tutorials are just awesome...absolutely awesome. Many thanks indeed!

[@ronchapmanII]

amazing video, I really like the old truck shot

[@randymyers8600]

Nicely done. Can't quite do that here in Atlanta.

[@tomg8817]

I really enjoy your channel Nick. I've been watching for more than a year, and appreciate your work a lot. Nice tutorial, as usual.

[@NickPage]

thanks Tom.. comments like this make the work that goes into them way way easier!

[@savagefrieze4675]

Wondering where you were when you captured these images. Like how far north and the time year. The image on the cover with the arch is awesome and I’ve never seen the whole arch at one time.

[@ysteinb.m694]

Keep up the good work. Not getting dark enough for star shots here in Norway in the summer months. Getting really dark in winter though.

[@danielschmaderer]

Did I hear people talking in the background of that “creepy sound” segment? Besides the creepy sounds, great video as always. And that pano! Best Milkyway pano I’ve ever seen!

[@joesjourney9986]

Definitely. A voice said "little by little"

[@rolftor1]

great work...gonna try and take a few shots tonight..living on an island has its challenges though..plenty light pollution

[@Wendy-cf5tv]

Thanks for this. Beautiful photos.

[@AdrianW.Photography]

outstanding video. As always, you presented the information in an easy way to understand yet compelling snd entertaining.

[@shannonbaskett3272]

Great video! I like the way you presented different scenes and scenarios.

[@jst4curiosity704]

Great info Nick - you've inspired me to take out my Nikon and do some night star photography with a foreground anchor.

[@august6014]

Stunning pictures.

[@philipmark3343]

Great tutorial; concise and to the point. No bullshit. Subscribed.

[@JohnHavord]

Excellent work Nick.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Awesome Nick

[@susanmckay6312]

Stunning images, and a great lesson. Thank YOU, Nick.

[@PatOutdoorify]

Thanks Nick for this outstanding tutorial, going to set my 1st steps in astro in about 2 weeks when on holiday in France.. Great work

[@kmurray51]

Great Video...one thing "panning" is left to right or right to left - "tilting" is up and down.

[@TheSeventhLotus]

Really nice results

[@colincrane1]

Super in field tutorial, thanks Nick....😀

[@danielchiu741]

OMG!! that pan is amazing!! i gotta learn how to do this with my rebel t3 and stock lens :p

[@echerres]

I`m going to try this out this weekend for sure, i`ve never been able to get the really cool astro photos

[@iandavis1355]

Brilliant tutorial. I didn't know about an "L" bracket. Great tip . . . Thanks!

[@ΣτέλιοςΚαραλής-ο5λ]

This is truly amazing content! Thank you very much for your contribution!

[@mick8586]

brilliant work Nick

[@danielkophoto]

Can't wait for the sun to chill a bit in the end of July. At the moment where i live in Norway the sun barely sets. Haven't been able to see stars since about April!!

[@FinnDillow]

Is it bright in the middle of the night?

[@danielkophoto]

Yes. The sun rises at about 3:40 am atm. So all i get is blue hour all night, no stars

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Nice job Nick some good tips I have tried Milky Way but not looked at my RAW file yet will be interesting next time

[@imtiyaazsaloojee9601]

Thanks Nick! Really useful information, im heading out to the CKGR in Botswana next weekend. Your videos have give the confidence I needed. From a follower and fan in Botswana

[@livedeliciously]

There are so many elements needed to get right to make a worthy astrophoto. I'm slowly learning from the best (Nick Page is of them), so I don't f*ck up my next outing.

[@barbarajirkovsky5678]

Thank you, very helpful. Love you videos

[@jirijurczak6939]

Hi Nick, have you considered to use a sky tracker? You will get better results. Using sky tracker is definitely next level of shooting Milky Way. Also stacking pictures for noise reduction is good method to use.

[@NickPage]

yep both methods produce cleaner skies.. but blurry foregrounds... maybe someday I will get that serious about it.

[@alemaodownhill]

Awesome 2 tutorials. Got me excited to shoot

[@massdistraction6169]

Great vids, thanks for posting. Greetings from Dublin, Ireland ✌️

[@fivefingersofdeath10]

Awesome video Nick, I've been wanting to do some Astro photography for sometime and this video has inspired me and also given me some ideas with the light painting. Love your channel

[@bassoonman1562]

Excellent blog, thanks for putting these together.

[@astrophotonics9470]

As an Astrophotographer myself i approve this message, Nick get yourself a Skywatcher Adventurer Pro pack or Ioptron SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount so you can take long exposures, you'll be glad you did.

[@YourMajesty143]

Astrophotography becomes a money pit for stuff like that. Stitching/blending photos is easier and less weight to carry. Plus the wallet thanks you for it.

[@jasonkennedy2045]

Rediculously cool mate, awesome tips. Not sure they will work over here in the U.K. (London) but stunning shots pal. J

[@dannykenealy6080]

brilliant video Nick

[@petegalligan7754]

Nice! Well done Nick!

[@ТониАндреев]

Great video, the way you presented and explained everything was superb. The only thing I didn't like were the transition animations when you showed your photos. It just makes us watch blurry transitioning photos half the time and it doesn't do justice to your great shots. Anyway, thanks for the informational video :)

[@NicholasEJones]

Beautiful shots, great vlog.

[@guyrichard2030]

Like always, Mr. Page....simply amazing 👌

[@isaacspotts107]

Another awesome video Nick

[@ajomathew9]

Amazing 😍😍😍😍

[@CondoreComputing]

I deffinitly want to find an area around here where i can get away from light pollution and play around with some night/astrophotography. Im new to Washington and live near Olympia. Thank you for this video, it helps a ton.

[@Nedeljko180]

Great turorial, thanks.

[@opwave79]

Appreciate the tip to max out you ISO when doing a test shot for composition.

[@donfunderburg7887]

Some additional great info.

[@MrRooster1968]

Brilliant work again mate

[@mick8586]

brilliant video Nick , great work

[@Lexxo777]

Great stuff as always Nick! Can't wait to shoot my first pano of the Milky way ;)

[@05glisedan]

Recently found your channel. Freaking amazing. I have so much to learn. Just picked up a 6D. Looking forward to trying your tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@apdeshpande]

[@videodrone4287]

Thanks a million man - awesome tutorial

[@frauleindaniela]

Wow! Perfect results! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Liked and subscribed immediately!

[@BrianPex]

I was wondering about those red lights... Amazing how much light these sensors pick up.. I don't get to try this much unless I take a 5 hour ride up to Maine... Maybe next week!! Lots of respect for the planning...

[@CarlDraper458]

Do you have a tutorial on how to stack astro pics? How to put the foreground and sky pic together in Photoshop?? Loving your stuff :)

[@martinfinnerty3344]

Great video Nick.

[@NickGoesHAM]

One word, awesome.

[@barbarajirkovsky5678]

This was fantastic!! Love your shots. May I ask what type of ball head you were using and tripod.

[@michelleboise]

Thank you so much Nick! Very helpful!

[@venusn.sallay4717]
