GoPro Hero 10, How To Photograph the Milky Way

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

What’s your most creative GoPro photography challenge?

[@VideoProcConverter]

Such fun giveaways, thanks for your sharing!

[@itsmattcarr]

I tried to take night photos of the Milky Way for the first time with my GoPro 10 last night, and didn’t know about protune settings at all. Your video answered the questions I had so perfectly! Thank you.

[@irishwarrior35]

I think my heart stopped 3 times as I saw the spider crawl past you….Just dead lol

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Bahahahaha that’s hilarious!! Wild milky way outings!!

[@adrioche2762]

A very interesting video, you can see the difference between each ISO setting and the result. It's the only video I've found that's as detailed and qualitative as this to learn about the Gopro night settings. Thank a lot ! 😀

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks so much. I’m glad I could help.

[@LondonViewpoints]

That spider at 3:29😱 that’s for the tips tho

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hahaha if I’d of realised I may have freaked out lol

[@StewartDorman]

Never would I ever think to do Astro with a GoPro. I dips me lid to ya.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Haha thanks heaps champion!!

[@boatingphotographer4377]

@ 3:24 I would have been outa there with that creepy crawlie photobombing you!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

haha - yes it was a bit unnerving seeing it in the edit lol

[@peterfritzphoto]

Spider! Behind you!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Yeah I saw that in post 1 the cheeky little blighter.

[@RauriBarron]

Pretty impressive for an action cam..I guess it’s no longer just an action cam and saying that doesn’t do it justice. I do like the quality of the ISO1600 shot best, but as you said, looking at the shot as a whole the 3200 one was good!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

It's ridiculous really isn't it? that you can do this with a camera. What I'd love to do is blow them up at a 60x90 print size on the wall and see which one is better. Don't wanna invest my coin in that though lol thanks mate!

[@dreffz]

This direct to the point can't wait for the summer months to hit here in the Philippines to test this on my GoPro

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Cheers Darrel. Bring on summer. We’ve had the most underrated summer ever here.

[@extremeLEGEND999]

Subbed, thank you for the comparisons and some ideas for editing. I just started diving into my go pro 9 settings and abilities

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Awesome. So glad I could help.

[@JauneMacReady]

Ah, this is amazing! Only just getting into nightlapse with my GoPro 10. It's so much fun! Liked and subscribed

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Love, love, love this comment. YEW. Thanks mate.

[@leonfisher]

At 04:20 your settings list shows ISO min at 3200 and the ISO max at 800. That seems counterintuitive. Great result with your photo.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

I know. The max doesn’t actually matter I don’t think, especially when the min is higher than it. Thanks man.

[@paulkennedycreativemedia]

Wow. That’s impressive from a action camera.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

I know right!!!

[@SmokeyMountainDreamer]

Wow thanks for the help, I have been tring to film the Milky Way with the night lapse on my gopro hero 10 it looks good but not what I really want, we have alot of light pollution, I'm going to try these settings and see what I get, I really liked the 3200 iso it looked really good.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

I’m glad I could help :)

[@MakingTracks]

Thanks for sharing that tip of how to get 800+ ISO I didn’t know you had to change shutter from auto to 20sec new sub just for that. 😉

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Wooohooo. My pleasure. Thanks heaps mate.

[@ehsanbazr4190]

Hi tnx for sharing this nice video, i have this camera but at 4:15 you said put iso min on 3200 and max on 800 but my camera does not accept this setting ,doesnt accept iso min be higher than iso max brother,

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

I think if you set the iso to the max it will go you should be right 👍

[@ro-cl2do]

Very nice, Looking forward to your next video. I appreciate you sharing the setting. I hope to give a try and I subscribed.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks so much. There’s a few others I’ve got out regarding the GoPro if you’re interested. Thanks for joining in the fun.

[@rcraigmacrae]

Bro, the spider….😂

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hahahaha so freaky right lol

[@OMarley510]

min 3:23 the spider 🕷 next 2 you 😂

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hehehe if I’d of known I would have been freaking lol

[@mr.blashkov]

Awesome vid bro .. I'm a gopro fan and I promote the use of it in South America! ..

Awesome mate! Thanks so much!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

You're too kind legend! Thank you!

[@SmartphonePhotographyTraining]

Haha. Love it. The best way to do it is............ watch the video!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

hehehe thanks champion!

[@MfTrob]

for some reason when I set it to 3200 min the max has to be that also

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Yeah it’s strange but it still works.

[@dmain37]

OK, so seeing this in 2024. You started off having PHOTO settings with SHUTTER 20s, ISO MAX 800, ISO MIN 3200. But, your screenshot shows you were in VIDEO with SHUTTER 30s and ISO MIN and MAX 1600. Did the Photo part not work out? Thanks!

[@rinohals]

cool. it should be interesting to take a few images and stack them in sequator as well.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Yeah good idea. Is Sequator expensive?

[@rinohals]

@@RalphMayhewPhotography it is a free program.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

@@rinohals that’s awesome. Thanks man.

[@peterfritzphoto]

Damn - didn’t realise the sensor was so bloody tiny!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

We neither. I actually tripple checked as it seems too tiny!

[@ritikamathur1401]

Amazing

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks champion.

[@pilotsharkshanger9182]

👍👍 very good enjoyed it. Do you have any advice for using an Osmo Action camera? CAVU!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

This is a great question. I’ll have a look at the Osmo and let you know :) thanks very much.

[@aldheladventureca]

Bery informative content

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks very much.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Have you ever gone out to shoot the milt way? If not I’m super interested as to why not?

[@SkyTimelapseFree]

When I put iso min at 3200 the iso max can't be on 800

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hmmm just push the iso to the extremes.

[@royidelatorre3566]

I cant set my gropro iso min 3200 and iso max 800 like yours mate. If i set my iso max to 800 then the iso min will set to 800 too. Why mate?

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hmmm not sure. Have all the other settings aligned with what I suggested?

[@royidelatorre3566]

@@RalphMayhewPhotography yes all the setting are aligned except for iso.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

@@royidelatorre3566 that’s very strange. Maybe update it? I’m not sure sorry.

[@TrockeyTrockey]

On picture, you can see a part of disc of our Galaxy. But... It seems that on your photo, there is a center of Galaxy visible there. Is it possible, or is it illusion? To answer, we need to ask someone with sky map, probably.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Sorry mate, not sure exactly what you mean regarding picture and photo 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@shane4753]

Thanks for your GoPro Hero 10 vids mate, have found them very helpful. Interesting thing too is I received my Hero 10 yesterday which I bought direct from the GoPro site, and it did not have to have the firmware updated at all (didn't have that sticker on the back screen etc). Just requires normal set up, but but firmware. So I don't know, maybe if they come directly from GoPro, they have already completed the firmware update so users don't have to. Dunno, but not complaining anyway 😊

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks Shane. That’s strange because even the preorder ones sent to creators required the update before use. Are you sure yours is t a refurbished one?

[@shane4753]

@@RalphMayhewPhotography hey mate, yeah look I assume (hope) it's new and not refurbished. I bought it direct the GoPro Australia website and it came from their Singapore warehouse here to Brisbane. Has all the stickers still on the lens and 2 screens too. I might have to get onto their online chat to ask why the firmware update wasn't required and to ask if it a refurb or not. Not paying $600 for a refurb unit lol.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Worth an ask but likely it’s brand new 👍

[@shane4753]

@@RalphMayhewPhotography G'day Ralph, just got off the online chat with GoPro, evidently the initial units had come out in a hurry (in full gopro style lol) without having had the opportunity to have the updated firmware pre-installed. So I guess for the content creators such as yourself who were the early adopters, you were stuck with having to do the update yourself. GoPro advised me that as of a week or so ago, all units now had the firmware updated at the factory before being shipped out. Good to know. Anyway mate, thanks for your feedback and looking forward to seeing more of your Hero 10 vids in particular!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

@@shane4753 that’s super helpful to know Shane. Thanks heaps for passing it on and adding to peoples understanding. I Always appreciate the comments :)

Hi Ralph! can edit night lapse, star trails using mobile apps?

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

You means put multiple images in and layer them? If so I don’t think so. You’d be better to shoot it all in phone and edit with Lightroom afterwards. Even longer app can help with this.

[@nurkz_travel4494]

@@RalphMayhewPhotography i mean i have a gopro 11 and i want to make a night lapse in photo(raw) format, then edit on lr mobile. Now I need a video editor to merge the image and get the video. Advise me a mobile video editor. Or what options do you know?

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

@@nurkz_travel4494 ah gotcha. I’ve not been very impressed with any sorry. Just try one and see how you go.

3:22 spider lol yikes

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hehehe

[@Penta_Penguin_237]

The aperture is 2.5

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Yes it is 👍

[@MarcFootageAviation]

Man if you put it for 10s more u barely see stars moving and that allows u to reduce iso to 800

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Nice tip. I’ll have to give that a go.

[@AlexCrews]

I heard this camera overheats

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Did you hear it here 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnzXaHeLg7ykjJo It doesn’t really even get hot doing these kinds of shots.
