MOON Landscape Photography Tutorial: Camera Settings for DSLR and Mirrorless

[@mikegarber3180]

Tony, do more tutorials, yours are very valuable. The technical, instructive ones like this are unique educational experiences.

[@jackieannaguey9457]

I remember when I was starting my photography and searching for channels here to help me with my photography stuff then I found you. Since then I've been following you. Every content you made including this one has helped me a lot with my passion. Now that Im covering events because of all the knowledge you shared, I owe it you Tony & Chelsea. I would like to thank you so thank u so much.

[@sebxiou-lifestyle4465]

My path is somewhat different but I fully endorse your comment. This is, for me, far-and-away the best YT photography channel. I have thanked them on here before but I have no hesitation in again saying "Thank you, Tony and Chelsea."

[@stevegarland3387]

I have been watching your technique tutorials for years. They have always been of more interest too me then gear videos. This is especially true now as i am retired and can no longer afford the latest and greatest. I still love learning and you guys are great teachers. Thank you so much.

[@harvymckiernan93]

To be honest, this is the first time ever, I've watched you from start to finish. A good realistic, down to earth hands-on real-world tutorial. No gear bashing, or splitting hairs between various equipment and techniques. Just true grit raw photography. I'm sure beginners and enthusiasts would like to see more of this approach rather than the glitz and glamour of just seeing the final product. I've lost count the number of times I've doubted myself over the years thinking, is this really how pro's approach a situation? At the end of the day, you know far better than me your business model, and I know it can be hard to maintain your passion and focus when your clients ( in your case your audience) push you in a different direction.

[@f2.8-]

Gear videos are awesome, but tutorials are the reason why I subscribed to the channel.

[@Batboxgriffin]

Tony, you are an amazing 21st (maybe 22nd) century teacher. Clear, accurate, informative and so well produced. I have to study your videos in sections as there's so much in each presentation. The quality of your work is rare on KZbin. Many thanks.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks David and I appreciate your optimism on my lifespan!!

[@snapsoon4302]

Bro you and Chelsea are my favourite photographers. I can't thank you enough for all the hard work. I love watching your videos. Thanks for the honesty and advice. God bless.

[@DeusExAstra]

Photo stacking is a great technique. Been doing that in astronomy for a very long time, and one of the reasons why we can get such good images of very far away and dim astronomical objects.

[@LongtowerNyc]

That app is the TRUTH. Got a slamming shot with the sun directly setting behind the freedom tower. Breath taking photo! I’m always using that app.

[@dl1966x]

Please please please please please please please please make more tutorials Tony :) Even though I now consider myself to almost be an expert photographer, I am always looking to learn more. After watching your tutorials for 6 years now, your's are definitely the best!!! :)

[@clcortelyou]

I just got my best moonshot yet last night. This will help them get better.

[@happytang1802]

I find your videos (tutorials and gears kind of different but very useful from the rest) I really enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this

[@Larodden1975]

No idea but you just made me know how to do this mystical stacking thing, now my spray and pray style finally makes sense! Thanks Tony! Keep doing those hands on tutorials pls including editing. Great channel if you teach photography yourself

[@devinray]

Excellent work with years and years of experience, thank you so much!!!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thank you too!

[@devinray]

@@TonyAndChelsea I'm sure you've heard of it maybe even use it but I finding that Topaz DeNoise AL is amazing. I would think it would have worked well on this image.

[@WilliamWheeler_MicroManiac]

Excellent as always, and true to life story with best laid plans of mice and men . I am responding to your final comments. Yes, please more tutorials you guys do a great job.

[@mccheeseburger01]

This was a really good video. I like that you posted the tutorial even though your shoot did not go as plan and the orginal images were not ideal. It sets a standard that anyone watching can reasonably try to match.

[@AnthonyJohnston1]

Don't stop the tutorials Tony!

[@ben4thewin]

I'm very new to photography and just the other day was trying to take some pictures of the moon and I really couldn't get them to come out like I wanted, but this tutorial was so good I feel like I now have a plan for what I can try tomorrow, thanks so much!

[@leszekmazur9541]

I love the fact that you're bringing astrophotography techniques (like stacking and stretching on the lighthouse) into general photography. :)

[@larryhaley3]

T and C...,.. Please dont let tutorials go away! I love your other content but enjoy your teachings as well!

[@pkoeniger]

Tony, you are a really excellent educator.

[@aricfleet1659]

Best situational photography tutorial I've seen to date. Easy to follow, from beginning to end. Every word was useful. Especially liked the part where you explain how to stack the images in order to obtain the mean exposure. Thank you, Tony.

[@seanhenry4601]

Damn Tony, I love all of the tutorial videos that you put out. I rmbr in one of your videos you said it's not always about the gear but how you use it. Teach us. Thanks to you & Chelsea.

[@mikkosuhonenphotography]

I ordered stunning digital photography book because of this video. I'm not sure what's inside the book but I trust it'll be a great resource for summer reading.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Great tutorial. In case of absolute need the Nikon p950 is an option, but one *needs* a tripod. But a good full format camera and a big telephoto is a far better option.

[@hiontheroad6250]

I watch all of your tutorials... you’ve helped me go from novice to professional... keep up the great work you two!

[@eileenconragan1064]

Hitting so many important points I have had questions on. Actually. I will rewatch and take notes. Thank you!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@willievallejos]

Wow Tony! Really, really You are The Best! Thank You So, So Much! Some years ago I saw you both here in youtube and it was so gut, but now I'm starting to reconnect with the passion of the Photographie and reconnecting again with your channel, with you both and your excellent way to explain and teaching and share your experience, and I feel more motivation and totally inspired thanks to You both. Thank You So Much King Tony and Queen Chelsea! Peruvian Hugs from Berlin.

[@michealpociecha8351]

Thanks Tony .....what a great training. Can’t wait to try it out for myself.

[@cbetylkata87]

Very well presented, educational and interesting content (as always)! Thank you for making this!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

My pleasure!

[@macintush]

I been subscribed for years specifically for the tutorials. Thanks for the tips, always appreciated 👍

[@leehaze1]

One of your better videos Tony. Great job!

[@jackmortimer329]

I am just starting to re-enter photography as a hobby. I am more interested in tutorials. An index or listing of earlier tutorials would help me find tutorials that are interesting to me as I get back up to some level of confidence. Thanks for all you folks do for us.

[@charlesking4138]

This is a great shot Tony. Hand holding that Nikon... like you said, there was no other choice. Well done!

[@sandeepsinghchawla916]

This is literally the best video i could find 🔥🔥💯🥺

[@danielm2058]

Very nice video detailing the art of photography and time n effort it takes to take picture like this

[@chasingluminance]

When you open as layers in photoshop...... open as a panorama in photoshop and unclick the merge photos button.... this auto alights it for you then you can convert to smart object and median stack..... then lightroom you can brighten the lighthouse using the blue HLS slider.

[@grat2010]

I love these tutorials and wish there were more, but understand you gotta do what pays the bills. Took SDP with me everywhere when i first began learning. It helped so much.

[@HHLuker]

I definitely like your tutorials VERY much and would be happy to see more of them!

[@OldGirlPhotography]

As was said by someone else, every word in this tutorial was worthwhile. Thank you Tony.

[@enricomarconi8358]

great tutorial - hope to see more of this Tony!

[@stevechilds4043]

Tony is the reason I now know how to stack star trails!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad I could help!

[@DisruptiveHarmonizer]

Very clear and informative video. Thank you, I've learned a lot just with that 1 single video.

[@WRPhotography-zx5dv]

Very informative tutorial, I really enjoyed watching this video.

[@UnknownPerson-pt7oj]

These tutorials are one of the reasons I followed in the first place! They do have a lot of technical bits yes, but you do llearn that running around is necessary to get the shot too. Also, thats a lot of rejects to produce one picture

[@dennishegdahl8616]

Gee Tony, great stuff. I'm going to have to watch this about 10 times.... and hope it sinks in. Cheers

[@bsodmike]

Glad to see some hands on content Tony, I think it's one of the few aspects missed from the channel. I didn't realise stacking helped so much, that's pretty amazing. Thanks again!

[@jflu1]

I had not considered stacking for this sort of situation but I will give it a try at the next attempt!

[@benoloughlin1557]

Thank you, Tony!! I really miss your tutorials- they are fantastic, please do more!

[@charlesking5312]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I’ve been planning on shooting the moon beachscape for the past month. Unfortunately it was cloudy this time, so this is a timely tutorial

[@MichalOlender]

Very helpful Tony, thanks!

[@thanosmanolis7783]

That video is just insane!!!!!!!!!

[@ivansamoshko1720]

We love your tutorials! Super helpful video again! 👌

[@benrussell3645]

Nice to see a tutorial from you guys again. Been watching for many years now and your tutorials and books helped me loads

[@shawnvine4918]

Very cool. Thanks.I like the tutorials. To be honest, I don't watch the gear videos as much, because I'm just not buying that much gear.They are always thorough and informative, though.

[@shkspear52]

Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing and informative deep dive...you gave me inspiration for taking my camera out in the scary dark!!! Big Love

[@hirandhakal4336]

i learned photography by watching you tutorials .......i am in debt to you,

[@nikolatesla9384]

I see all the effort behind this video surely from both of you. Then probably it will not be your most viewed video. Then you get the haters saying your channel is all about gear. Do what you need to do people will always complain. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱

[@Astrolavista]

You had me at "Moon".

[@abhishekchavan1782]

Hey I used to live tutorials they basically taught me how to use my cam, don't kill it!!!

[@gr33nDestiny]

Moon was awesome last night with Jupiter and Saturn 🪐 so bright

[@philippc7250]

Great video. I really enjoy the tutorials.

[@g0ora]

Great video Tony, thanks for sharing. all good work.

[@robertgrenader858]

I WANT MORE TUTORIALS. I really value what you bring to photography. Plus, you used a D850, and are redeemed.

[@TheNabilshow2]

I must say, I have learned so much with your book and I am being objective. Thanks Tony for the last update that you sent us too via email. I lack gears investments but trying to make the most of my time improving my techniques first. Have a great day.

[@julianat007]

More tutorials please! They are awesome!

[@peterebel7899]

One of the better vids, Tony!

[@thomasfusco2052]

Wow nice shot! I love that lighthouse, never made it there for moon rise. I love that stretch of road for bird pictures. Great to see you out on the Island, so many photo spots here. Thanks for all the video, book is awesome too.

[@world_champion_lemur4519]

Love the tutorial.. so much to learn. thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@franciseddy1634]

Thank you for your tireless inspiration. As always your features are informative and quite helpful as I climb beyond beginner stage, but not all of us are as adept and versed. That said, post processing punctuated with more lay detail will help and the same for the shooting. I am able to feel/follow to a point and then I lose you. Chances are that I need to up the exposure to experience and that I will do. Now, is this a bracketing enterprise for an HDR presentation. I was out early this morning in Tokyo hunting the moon and as it moves quite fast I found myself fumbling with your instruction so for the next run at this I want to be prepared and fully get the gist.

[@monstrok]

Great tutorial! I never really thought about how fast the moon moves from the earth's perspective and did a quick calculation. The apparent relative motion of the moon is ~1023 meters per second!

[@GemmaHentsch]

Definitely love the tutorials!

[@jpdeardenphotography]

Fantastic video. Learned so much. Just received m.zukio 75mm to 300mm so hoping to get some good photos. I usually use Nikon p900 for mine. Downloading them apps now.

[@FocusAstronomy]

Nice work. Starting to dive into astrophotography processing methods.

[@hwackett]

Thank you for the tutorial, Tony! Please keep them coming.

[@tomwarrington4150]

Great tips Tony. Thanks!

Ok will do

[@lorilopez6806]

@@TonyAndChelsea Really? Thank you so much, I'm excited about that 😊💜

[@Charles_Chocolate]

This is great to see you combining PS and LR. Some people want to take the perfect picture and that's fine if you have amazing gear by it shows how you can workaround issues of high contrast in low light. 👍. Thanks. More tips videos if you have the time.

[@danielfranco2285]

Tony, thanks for a great instructional video!

[@jonbreukel]

YES!! MORE TUTORIALS!!!

[@gordonelwell7084]

Tony, a couple of comments. First, hand holding a 840mm lens is nearly impossible without some sort of stabilizing. You had the fence, which helped out imensely (I'm sure). But rather than dragging around a tripod (ultimate stabilizer), we should consider the old fashoned monopod. Much more portable (and will give the shooter the same basic stabilization that your fence did). When you watch the photographers with the long lenses at NFL games, etc, they all use a monopod. Second, is the Photographer's Ephemerous program. If you watch the point on the horizon where the moon rises, and at the exact time, you will miss the best shot (like you got) which happens a few degrees ABOVE the horizon. Best technique is to adjust the slider in Ephenerous to "moonrise time" plus 5-6 minutes. This will show the point on the horizon where it will be a few degrees above the horizon, and help plan your best location (and hopefully avoid the last minute running). Overall, great tutorial. I like these tutorials. Hi to Chelsea . . .

[@afromalone]

Really enjoyed this.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Excellent photo! I miss your wanderlust videos where you do photography adventures.

thank you very much for the tutorial. i will apply those tips next time.

Thanks Tony, keep the tutorials coming. I have enough gear.

How crazy, Tony. I made an attempt at this strategy just this past week. :-) After taking in your teaching today, I will be heading back out into the field; although this time, I will be blending in your processes. Thank you, sir! Much respect! T :-)

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Good luck!

As always, great tutorials! BTW... loved your book. Learned lots from your book and videos. Keep up the great job!
