I rewatched this video to brush up on details and good lord how can I miss someone I never met? My deepest condolences to Alyn’s family and friends.
My heart is broken for Alyn's family and friends....I just read his short story of how he tragically died. Here I was, chuckling about the curious cows and now my heart is full of tears. Rest In Peace, Alyn..
RIP ALYN. So very sad to hear of your recent passing. Thank you so much for all the great, highly informative videos you put together for astrophotographers to see.
It's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie... "The Cows!"
Everyone has a different eye for what they want to shoot, and it's always nice to hear how you (and others) scout for compositions!
"ugh there's only 13 of these a year" - this hits hard lol. I'm a novice at any astro, but very quickly I started to get an appreciation for the fleeting scarcity of some of these things (full moon, milky way position, etc). Combined with getting to a cool location and getting good weather. Makes getting the shot feel sooo good.
not true - if you take them all every year you would have hundreds as you age. And the moon looks exactly the same each time, there is no expiry date haha
That wonderful shot is worth the trouble. Thanks Alyn.
Well thats was a close one, glad you managed to still get the image Alyn
All that planning and livestock nearly had you over, great to see how you handled it and still got your shot. Chuckling my head off here😁 great video. Cheers! 👍
I'm picking up the Sigma 100-400 I special ordered 2 weeks ago and you upload this. Perfect timing
Congratulations sir for 89k soon 100k love ur all vdeos ☺️☺️❤️
Great video Alyn, the best quote from a photographer I've ever heard "I think the cows have gone, i'm hoping they're getting ready for bed". Ha ha brilliant, can't get the image out my head of cows putting their pyjamas on!
THE BINA…. hahaha i heard that too😂 he is so entertaining as well as he is a great teacher, and astrophotographer.
I have never seen such a beautiful photo or view in my whole life...thankyou dear
Great vid Alyn and moon capture 👏🐄 🐄
For those looking for PhotoPills tutorials, another resource is Brenda Petrella's extensive series on her Outdoor Photography UA-cam channel.
Beautiful shot. Nicely done.
I starting to get addicted to your videos )) Thats great to meet a person who loves to do the same things as you do and learn how to improve your skills. Salute from Saint-Petersburg, Russia!)
I loved watching this vid and know EXACTLY how you felt to get a shot like this!! Living where I do in New York, it's rare to be treated to such a clear haze and cloud free night for either the rise or set. It's a great high when it occasionally does happen. Super shot, great vid. You had to be totally psyched watching the whole plan come together!
I absolutely agree about that feeling you get when shooting the moon. It's become my personal niche this past year or so and I love it. I actually set out just last month to shoot my first 'proper' Moonrise alignment and was pretty happy with my efforts for a first go. As you mentioned I used all the apps I could to plan and research and it paid dividends.
I love the shot at the end and a ton of tips on the video. Something for me to go for whenever it’s a full moon and deep sky Astro is impacted. 👍
Yeah Alyn uses lighthouses and castles.. I used a distant chimney pot and TV aerial.. 🤪
jamie74 gemini that works too!🧐
There are so many wonderful places & landmarks in Wales which combined with the beauty of the night sky & your creativity have enabled you to share some extraordinary images. Your tutorials have really helped me combine my love of both Astronomy & Photography. Thank you for sharing👏👏👏🏴
Ironically, I am out almost every night with my telescope watching the heavens including the moon; but I never looked at it from your point of view. " there's only 13 full moon in a year " you said. Your catch for this evening took me by surprise; really elevating.
On the next full moon rest assured I will have a totally new experience thanks to you.
Thank you for the time and special efforts you put into this work and for sharing it with the world.
Love that you're pumping out video after video, keep up the amazing work. Loving the photos.
High quality content with high frequenty
the moon BAZOOKA is back! I remember watching a moon vid when you were perched on a hill a few years back!
Holy cow !!! Nice video :P
I see what you did here
No Bull..!
Loved this video, loved the overall feeling associated with the photo 🌛🌛
Thank you very much for sharing your images and the way of making them.
You are very inspiring as a human being and as a skilled specialist 💚❤👍
Thank you Alyn! I am so glad being able to purchased your book.
Alyn, Nicely done!! The extra pressure just heightened the result. CHEERS!! and Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your love of each and every full moon 😍 I picked up one good tip - spiked feet!
Full moon on Thursday. Thanks Alyn, that's time for planning the shots. I'll be out there.
Superb Alyn, I very similar setup as yourself and always use PP to plan, every month I have at least 1 full moon planned - looking forward to this Wed, Thu and Fri :) keep up great work
It’s such a beautiful video i love it so much
nice video
Great episode Alyn. So good to see the moon getting some love 👍.
Haha, in the beginning of the video you claim you’re free to move….but then the cows came in…
Nice video, great shot and nice humor. Thank you.
Almost the same happens to me but with horses, here in Spain. Congrats for the video and the supebrs shots...!!!
We in the west would love to see those critters (horses or cattle) in the foreground with a full moon in background. Especially a dairy cow in the “ Milky” Way foreground
That was very nice to watch.
The colour sof the moon at the end of your video were beautiful
This video taught me a lot about lining up the shots. Thank you.
I was out that night trying to get some good shots @ Penarth Pier (along with about 50 others!) - didn't really work out though. I need a much longer lens (50mm is as long as I own). I'm now saving for the 70-350mm so I can get some better moon shots.
Very nice to enjoy the process!
Epic shot! Great post
Alyn you are a Master of the Art. Thank you for this wonderful video and spectacular photos. I also enjoyed the cows part. As for your explanation of photopills it is much more understandable watching what you have done than all the other videos I have watched.......It will save many of us if you could make a full video about photopills right from the start. I will be ever so grateful. And your gallery is spectacular too. I will be in touch
I love your works Alyn!
great video and that last minute dash made it all worth it! thanks for making this.
That was an incredible vlog Alyn! Still waiting to take my first proper full moon shot. Between work and clouds, I haven’t really gotten lucky. 😂 Thanks for that video. And I loved that image. Just perfect!
Great Tutorial!!
Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing.
Nice moon shoot with the moon bazooka! I think the lens mount is also important because when it zoom out, a tiny move on the camera will cost a huge movement on the lens. Thanks Alyn!
Exceptional work Alyn !!! The first video I saw from your channel was "EPIC MOON alignments with the SIGMA 150-600mm
"Where you called the telephoto lens" Moon Bazooka. "You have improved your work a lot, and you transmit knowledge, experience and, most notably, the enthusiasm you project for photography and stars. Greetings from Chile.
Excepcional trabajo Alyn!!! El primer video que vi de tu canal fue "EPIC MOON alignments with the SIGMA 150-600mm
" donde llamabas al teleobjetivo "Moon Bazooka". Has mejorado mucho tu trabajo, y transmites conocimiento, experiencia y lo más destacable el entusiasmo que proyectas por la fotografía y astros. Un saludo desde Chile.
Great video - informative & fun - thanks for sharing!
Well done! Yes, quite right - it doesn’t take one of the hyped Moons to make a good shot. Any Full Moon or often the Moon the night before Full can produce a great moonshot! Nicely shot despite the marauding cows!
That is awesome Alyn, well impressive!
Dave’s Astrophotography Alyn
surely knows how to improvise
doesn’t he😀
@@anitarussum4590 He's ace, If I can acquire just 10% of his photography skills, I would be happy!
Great video. I just was out a little over a week ago getting a photo of the moon/Venus conjunction, but some low clouds moved in before they aligned with any terrestrial foreground. I did come away with a really nice comp with them between multiple bands and layers of clouds so it wasn't a total waste.
Unfortunately I didn't use any of those apps that you mentioned. I don't like "planning" things on my phone's tiny screen and wish there were web based options. I used Google Earth and Stellarium and as the evening progressed, I realized how far short they both fell when being used to plan such things.
Loved the video Mate. Enjoyed your little stint with the cows too 😅... The final image was lovely!
Road to 90k🔥
Have the same lens and tripod! And they are both very good!!
Thanks for sharing. Great video
Gracias Alyn!
Its beautiful indeed. Grt8 sky there! 😘😎
I've always checked what time the moon rises, what direction it rises and use a map and protractor to check what's on the horizon and where I should be. Lots of work and still hit or miss I've just downloaded PhotoPills and I'm also going try some Milky Way shots with my Pixel 4, as per one of your other videos. Thanks Alyn.
Great video. Great information and great fun 👍
Awesome! Glad you got it!
Great shot 👍👍👍
Great video. Loved the cows and the moon.
Thank you excellent video , just what I need to help !!
Great shot bro 😎
I almost got one of those Sunwayfoto heads but the Benro geared head won out for me. I love the clutch on the gears so you can instantly set up and dial in a more precise composition without having to twist too much like the Sunwayfoto.
great video!!
It looks like someone is actually standing atop the tower!!!!. Great video 👍
Isn't it fantastic when someone knows their subject. I am sure I saw you and your work on Photography online? Absolutely stunning. Moon/astro photography didn't really interest me until I saw POL. Thanks for posting. I am off out tonight to capture a super moon, all I need is a subject and camera location................yes a bit last minuet.
Magnificent!
Now I know, get a big lens and get further away from the subject that I want to shoot the moon with. Hmmm, I have no idea where I can go. PhotoPills showed the moon rising where I wanted it to be but in reality, it rose in a different position. Love you shot of the moon.
All the feels...every full moon counts!
Watching this again for tips before tomorrow’s full super moon. 🌚
Great video, as always. And about the cows, you have yourself to blame for that. They heard you talking about the Moo Bazooka and had to check it out. : D
Cows getting ready for bed! More worried about stepping in a cow pat
Excellent video Alyn, I once parked my black car in a rural car park while I was fishing and returned to find it surronded by cows who had licked it from front to back and left green slime all over it 😂, keep up the good work 😀
Cheers Alyn
Amazing
Insane!!!
Amazing video mate I’m definitely going to give this a try! I have the Mach3 I think it’s amazing did you say you prefer the tortoise?
Nice one man.
I've done single moon shots, and videos of the moon, but haven't timelapsed yet. I like the idea of shooting video with my D500 because if I shoot 4k it crops, so gets me closer again with my 200-500. My big issue is getting the exposure right as it rises. Timelapse might be my better option. I can always crop a little before converting to video anyhow.
hi alyn thank you! fantastic job. is there an optionyou can explain hou you stack and edit a photo like this? did you stack at all or its just one image?
Man that was an awesome get! I must look into Photo Pills more. Seems like it was right on with the prediction! Good work! P.S. don't be afraid of the cows, they just thought you were gonna feed them. Bring a dog with you next time, problem solved.
Really enjoy your channel Alyn wanting to try Astro any tips in using medium format gear have the gfx 100s and 23mm f4 compared to full frame
Regards
now that I know this is your full time job , the First thing I do is put on a like .......... thanks for you expertise
We need more cows' portraits!
Awesome
Spectacular!! Thank you so much for this superb video! May i ask please what was the distance between you and the Lighthouse?
Im sorry i didn't hear you mention it and was curious. Thank you❤🙏
Just ordered an A7C, primarily for underwater photography, but seriously looking at it being an Astro camera too. Love your work and videos.
I love my A7C but unfortunately they have no input for a remote shutter control and no bulb mode. Therefore you are always limited to 30s. It works for most of the things but sometimes you need more like shooting a foreground at low iso. But still love it.
@@thorstenhahn5510 you can use bulb mode. I also use the Sony imaging edge app on my phone as a wireless remote and can get bulb mode there too
@@iangriff2170 Did not see it yet. Last time I had they idea that this should be possible but didn’t found. I‘ll give it a try again. Thanks for your reply!
Now I got it. If the camera is in silent shutter mode, the bulb mode disappears. As I shot a lot indoors. I turned it off a while ago. Now I downloaded the app “shutter” at it gives you everything you need like a hardware remote shutter control.
Great video as always. From what I know, Sigma 150-600mm C doesn't come with a Sony E-mount. Are you using a mount adapter here with your Sony camera?
Alyn. Your take on the tradeoff between full frame camera and moon bazooka and cropping the picture, and perhaps denosie or gigapixel vs. some combination of teleconverter/crop sensor camera. I use a Canon 5d4 and thinking about grabbing a 90D just for moon photography. any insights??
14:30 the moment when you love what your doing .😘😍
Hey Alyn - Do you switch to Manual Focus while doing these shots or use autofocus.
I had problems while ( focusing) photographing sunrise in salt flat desert during dawn when the sun was about to rise and autofocus kept going back and forth . Where do you focus in such situations.
If you could answer or make videos about it, it would be great
such a nice shot! wish there were hills where I live in Florida. It is very flat and hard to find amusing artifacts for the foreground. Anyways, I wanted to ask about white balance. Would you recommend 4000 K to shoot at night or just auto WB? Also, would it change depending on the position of the moon and if you are taking pictures of the stars instead?
Alyn, great video, really inspiring to get out there and try some more full moon shots. Many thanks for the work. when I try these images from ~3- or 4-km distance to get the moon large in the frame, the clarity in the image seems to suffer. perhaps this is because I am shooting through 3 or more kms of air. How do you get clean sharp images from this distance?
You're at the helm of atmospheric conditions for your location. Not something you can control in afraid
Nice informative video. And entertaining ;-)
