🌌 Learn EVERYTHING you need to know to photograph the Milky Way!
📷 10 Photo Tips in 10 Minutes - Download my most popular tutorial for FREE: www.austinjamesjackson.com/10-tips-10-minutes
In this video, you'll learn absolutely everything you need to know to capture images of the Milky Way in the field.
We'll start by discussing when and where to shoot the Milky Way, including how to know where the Milky Way will appear and the best nights to shoot. Then, we'll jump into the proper camera, lenses, and tripods to use for Milky Way photography. Finally, we'll jump in to talk about the shutter speed, ISO, and aperture to use, including the rule of 500 to calculate your shutter speed.
The second part of the video takes place in the field, where you'll get to stand by as I show you exactly how I'm using the techniques learned earlier in the video to capture the Milky Way. I also demonstrate settings to turn off the camera, such as high-ISO noise reduction, and show you how Bright Monitoring works to help you see the scene a little better after dark.
After watching this video, you should have a firm grasp on how to capture spectacular images of the Milky Way on your own!

ISO-Invariance and Dual Native ISO in Photography
Переглядів 644День тому
The ISO is the most misunderstood setting on your digital camera. To make things even more confusing, some camera sensors are considered "ISO invariant," meaning that raising the ISO will give the same effect as increasing the exposure in post-processing. Add the fact that many of these cameras also have dual native ISO, and you have a confusing mess. In this video, we'll break down ISO invaria...
The BEST All-Around Lens for Sony Cameras (Tamron 28-200mm Review)
Переглядів 60814 днів тому
The Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 is arguably the best lens for Sony cameras, both full-frame and crop sensor, on the market today. If you're looking for a lens that can capture everything from the wide-angle grand landscape all the way down to the finer macro details, this lens is the perfect choice for Sony. I personally think this lens is one of the best for landscape photography in particular. I...

5 Common Landscape Photography Mistakes to AVOID in 2024
Thanks man, great and honest tips.
What should I search online so i can learn more about whatever this is?
Hi thanks for the vid, would definitely like to see a vid that where the foreground is not as clean. I do have a question please, can you treat the sky as a sky replacement in PS? Thanks!
yeah, then you got bunch of noise, that's even harder to get rid off
I just use a histogram
Good tip! Easy to fool yourself into thinking your exposure is OK when the monitor is too bright.
Most useful short today
my reccomendation nowadays is to only manually set the parameter that affects the style you're going for (i.e. set aputure for desired amount of background blur) and leave the rest on auto, while adjusting the exosure with exposure-compensation.
Use nd gradient filter. Solved
what is the step by step how to take the picture using a professional camera? what setting i need to change first, the iso? apertures? shutter speed? note: sorry if my english so bad😅
But now you could lose information in the shadows lol 😅. I feel like finding the proper balance is the way you're actually suppose to do this lol 😅
Learned this the hard way, I did a car photography job and I missed focus on my favourite picture from that day 😢
Brilliant!! Thank you
Thanks for checking it out!
Cool , my old camer do it automatically , take 3 images on 1 click, but i dont known it how to mege it .. thanks 😊
Cool 👍
No way bro uses autofocus 💀
I do all the time!
Some things go so fast, I don't know what you did. At 4:40, you click from the curves to the image and then did something (on your keyboard?) to make it black and white again.
You can hold the option button while you click on the layer mask to show the mask. Hope that helps!
what do you do when the filter gets stuck on the lens?
I haven’t had that problem in quite a while, usually if you buy high quality filters they won’t stick. I don’t really have a trick for ones that are stuck unfortunately.
I think you just have to choose what you value in the shot. The underexposed foreground will be harder to get back to that well defined crisp place that it was in the initial exposure. Time of day is probably the best equalizer here.
True! On many of the newer full frame cameras though you’d have no problem bringing up the shadows.
Who is this tutorial designed for? If you know how to use Photoshop, it’s redundant. If you don’t know how to use it (e.g. creating a layer mask) you don’t go into enough specific detail for your video to be useful. I know it’s easy to be critical on the internet, and I’m not looking to be negative. But if you want to provide useful content you might want to give more thought as to whom you’re looking to educate.
This is mostly to show people what’s possible and have a different way of thinking when out shooting. And show how to overcome limitations of the camera.
All extended iso does is push or pull the gain on the native iso of the sensor. If you reduce the gain (going lower than the lowest native ISO) you lose dynamic range, especially in shadows); go above the highest native ISO and you lose shadow detail and add unnecessary noise.
Yeah, thanks for sharing that!
No, Instagram is not a business. Facebook was created by agencies of the government. And Ai protection laws already exist. It is called copyright law. Ai companies confessed they violate copyright law in order to achieve what they call "Progress" which is their progress. Generative Ai is a weapon against humanity. Yes because they are using it to make people bite the hook and ask for more restrictions and new laws. There are 2 political agendas behind Ai. 1- Digital ID 2- The Universal Basic Income. You say there is no direct effect on me now. Well I am a songwriter so for you I come from the future. I mean :Your Future". These kind of attacks on our community started around 2001 with Napster. Then Spotify and Pandora followed with the complicity of the whole Music Industry giving away their masters. Songwriters and Publishers are the copyright owners of the songs but we have a consent decree law which obligate us to give away our creations to streaming Platforms. as a result on all that nowadays 90% of songwriters lost the ability to make a living on their job. So my advice is just because it hasn't hit you yet I wouldn't take all of this for granted.
True, but what are you going to do about it? Nothing you can do unless you’re going to stop using the platform, so why waste my time worrying about something I can’t control?
@@AustinJamesJackson You are very powerful spirit, You just have to remember who you are. You are not the ball on a Pinball machine. You are a main creator character. There is a lot you can do my friend and in a near future there will be no choice but take responsibility as a powerful human. The 2020 events were just a little taste of what is coming if humans keep pretending to be the ball on a pinball machine. If you ask me what can I do? I would say start with leaving that "I am powerless" mentality ASAP. Then of course stop spreading it because it is a decease. Ask someone in the army why "defeatism" is punished in every military code? Personally I was a candidate for the ASCAP board in the last election. Not because thought I could win so Why bother? Because at least every voter read my statement and that creates resonance. I know when I leave this earth no one is going to ask me if I won or lost. But yes they are going to ask me why didn't you do anything about what you thought it was fair? I also suggest to find and watch an old movie that was banned by the European Union. Why? because it tells what is the key to defeat the corporate Tyranny. The movie is called "La belle verte". What I noticed is very sick on your video is that your mentality is like you live isolated and you only care about your business and yourself. if I can survive and do good I don't care what is going on. This is because you don't understand Art is an ecosystem, where Artists only plant the seed. but that seed needs fertile soil, water and the sun. Ai pretends to take away the soil, the sun and the water. I don't pretend to lecture you, I am just giving you my honest answer to an honest question. If you dare to incarnate here and now it is because you are very powerful spirit, You just have to remember who you are.
I wouldn't call this underexposure, I would call it exposure to the right (ettr). Results in more noise in the underexposed PARTS of the image but retains full dynamic range
Agreed! Just calling it underexposed because the camera is telling you it’s 2 stops under.
One can literally download a random blue hour landscape photo and a random Milky Way photo, from the internet, and do a sky replacement in Photoshop and tweak it to look realistic, that's how easy it is. Photos could be shot in entirely different parts of the world, and at different times of course.
👍
Isn’t that HDR? Also, can’t you just drop it in Lightroom and let that do its thing? Lol. I’ve never used Lightroom but my photographer friend can’t stop talking about it. Haha
Similar to HDR but more targeted. You wouldn’t be able to do this in Lightroom because you can’t tell it to select the water only from the long exposure image.
@@AustinJamesJackson ahhh! That makes sense
Linear OETF wants to enter the chat - half of a raw images data lies in the brightest stop. So if you listen to this tip, you might save some speculars, but lose tons of data (and therefore color information) in the more important parts of the image. It's better to stack in this case, or, simply blow out the speculars and edit around it. It's almost impossible to squeeze them into a srgb tonal range without them looking crappy anyway.
HDR is definitely better but requires more steps and knowledge. A lot of people want to get it in one shot.
Cool
Thanks!
Yes, I always do this with my a7R III screen quality. But if you shoot through the viewfinder which is more detailed you don't have to
I still do it if I’m looking thru the viewfinder.
White balance to a medium grey card. Boom all set
Just one more item you’d have to purchase and carry with you.
It's essentially a manual HDR. Exposing for details in the lowlights while keeping the overexposure in the highlights from blowing everything out. You can further go nuts by compositing day/night and seasonal shoots from the same perspective (same metering too)
Yup!!
Ha yes this is so true, but the irony is we (almost) always shoot wide in landscape photography
Unfortunately yes!
Nah bro lol
😂
Can I do this in Lightroom?
Unfortunately not at this time.
Couldn't you just use an ND filter for the long exposure water effect?
Not if you want the clouds to be jacked up.
i mean that’s literally probably what he did, the point is if you long exposure the clouds are blown out. he’s trying to fix the clouds while keeping the long exposure
Yes, but then you’d have overexposed sky!
@@AustinJamesJackson no you wouldn't, expose the sky scene properly then blend the foreground ND water scene in
@@akjackson009 bro he’s agreeing with us, he’s replying to op
I love my polarizer and never knew this was a thing! (I typically don’t shoot wide) Thank you for the useful information
Hope it helps! I love mine too for most other situations!
Nothing new…
Awesome!
how does one 'zoom in' in a preview box? I can only see a very large thumbnail version and can't 'check' my fuzziness like you did in this video.
Command + on a Mac, or Control + on a PC.
@AustinJamesJackson thanks. I tried that. Something is clearly happening on my desktop because even cntl, shift, I didn't invert the selection. Instead I got a dialogue box that said recording not allowed on this keyboard. Oye! I did shut down, but I get the same responses.
@@AustinJamesJackson I see now that I needed the selection preview to be grayscale in order to zoom in on the fuzziness.
This is a great tip for digital, I still mostly shoot film though and interestingly enough it’s the opposite, you want to er on the side of over exposing, basically expose for the shadows then develop for the highlights
Yeah! Thanks.
what lens is that?
Tamron 17-28!
I was suprised thay my handheld panoramas actually turned out really good, i was able to get a high resolution photo of the valley below Yosemite Falls this way, not having to carry a tripod was nice 😅
Agreed!!
Newbie here. On trial LR now. Import question: say I have a 3 mb photo already imported but then I find the same photo (same title) but it is 10 mb. So when I go to import that image, LR blocks the import because it says the image is already there - so how can I override to get the larger file to replace smaller?
Hmm, I’m not sure about that. I know you can uncheck the box that blocks duplicates, but not sure how you can just replace it without doing it manually.
Here's an additional trick - the image you see on your back screen is a jpeg that displays whatever in camera settings you have, but not the raw file itself. If you set your highlights to go off at 252 to 254 ("blinkies"/"zebra strips") for highlights warnings and have image displayed as the unadulterated raw image rendered to jpeg, and watch your histogram, you can grab the widest dynamic range possible, not blow pit your highlights (unless you want too) and recover your shadow detail. Essentially, you are "shooting to the right" to preserve your highlights when you are dealing with very bright highlights. Shooting to the right in low dynamic range scenes can wash out a shot.
Thanks for this!
What about the DNG digital negative format I've used for about 100k of images and edited copies of images over the last 20 years? How can one switch over and retain all the edits?
I believe there is a way to do it, but I’m not totally sure how it works.
ON1 opens DNGs with no problems. As soon as I finish a shoot I convert everything to DNGs because they take less space and don't change like ORFs and I have never had a problem.
Your my new brother LMAO
😂
To be pedantic f22 is lower than say f8 as 22 refers to 1/22. I have not seen any deterioration in quality at f16 and for macro even smaller to get a whole subject in focus which is moving and therefore not allowing for focus stacking. For the most avid pixel peeper there will indeed be an optimum f-stop but this is not in my view noticeable in the real world. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the advice!
this comment may be a bit late but what do you use to make your battery last all night? a dummy battery?
It usually lasts long enough, but if not I plug in an external battery charger.
Capture One is excellent
👍
Wow thanks a lot this saved my shoot 😅🫡🔥

Hey, I make textile print designs using existing images from my hand- painted artworks put together. All paintings images are taken from my iPhone but vary in sharpness and size. looking for a software that could help me with sharpening parts of the completed designs (or the full designs) to be hi-res and print-ready for scaves etc. Which software do you recommend?
Photo AI is going to be the best bet, and should work well for you!
Or just use gradual nd filters for sky
You can, but that’s more you have to buy and carry.
Which camera do you use master?
Sony a7r4!
