Hi Alyn, the second two images are mine :D I'm shooting with an A7 first gen so no ISO invariance sadly. I like to shoot my foreground with a bit higher ISO than the sky. One because I can see what I am shooting and two because I feel like the noise is a bit less once I lower the exposure in Lightroom. Have a good time in Turkey! Edit: Yeah, I hate those colors in the stars... Always happens when you use a tracker and the stars are just spots and there is no trailing at all
Love this tutorial I’m keen as mustard shooting the Milky Way so far only doing single exposure shots which I’m really happy with so watching you edit the third cracking image was awesome cheers
Just captured my first Milky Way images a couple of nights ago. I'll have to try some of these techniques for processing; as of now I am fairly inexperienced with Lightroom. Thanks Alyn, super helpful and timely video!
This is perfect timing since I tried my first attempt at Milky Way photography 2 nights ago and I will say the results were tolerable. There's a really large scale splotchy color noise that I have no idea how to deal with, but other than that, this video is great for giving me a basic workflow to start with.
I know it's not as simple as just pulling out a camera, obviously there's more planning to your astrovlogs, but I'd love to see some footage if you're planning on photographing the Perseids Meteor Shower. Unfortunately, it's cloudy where I'd planned on going, so I'd love to see if you can capture anything awesome!
Alyn thank you so much for your photo shop expertise, I use to be a graphic artist, so am familiar with software similar to adobe illustrator & photo shop, you have refreshed what I learned long before photo shop came along, when Apple Mac ruled the world lolz...I can't afford photo shop software but there is a website open source online that allows me to edit my images free...cheers Happy New Year...look forward to seeing more of Ur vidz...
Any chance you can do an edit walkthrough for darktable? I'd really like to improve my editing as I'm very much a beginner, hence not wanting to splash out on lightroom until I know what I'm doing
Loved your editing! Learning from a master. Unfortunately I couldnt take a picture because of light pollution and lockdown. Hopefully one day i will be be able to take such a picture. Hopefully then you can edit my photo 😄. Anyways keep it up!
Great video, really useful tips Alyn 👍 Couldn't be better timing as well. Was out last night and currently trying to edit some shots. Think i messed up with the start tracker though because the milky way isnt as visible as i was hoping.
I have a question, it's a little off this topic. I recently watch a video of someone talking long exposure of night skies. He had a subject of a tower in front of the milky way...his photo was tach sharp. What bothered me was he said his exposuer was 60 seconds long. He had no star tracker and he had no star trails...Is that possible to have that long of a shutter speed of 60 seconds and no star trails from one photo.
Great tutorial. Once you said you will show us how to make a meteor shower stacks using exposures from the all night of shooting. So the picture looks like the whole night sky is filled with meteors. Will you do it?
I noticed you didn't use an actual "sky" mask. Rather, you used a couple gradient masks, one for the sky and another for the foreground (to darken some out of focus foreground). I typically use a sky mask and then a "duplicate and invert sky" mask. But often end up with a dark edge between sky and foreground this way. Is this why you avoided using them? Thanks!
@@AlynWallace I'd love to see a similar video using those newer masking tools, especially when editing a single - rather than stacked - image. Also perhaps using Lr's denoise AI tool. Perhaps you already have one? Thank you!

Love this idea for a series! might have to join the Patreon to get involved 👀
I’ll have to watch this in 0.25x speed. My photoshop skills are still at the B of beginner 😂
That’s something I often do myself 👍🏼

Been watching a LOT of your videos lately, have you ever done a beginner video like shooting the milky way with a kit lens (18-55)?
Hamilton dude is good at editing!

It's on my Patreon sorry
Just in time 🤩 🤩 🤩
Very useful. Learnt loads
This is gold.
Good stuff bro

They didn't exist when I recorded this video

thanks big time Alyn!

At his time of year is it worth attempting milkyway shots. In in the UK
Id say yes but youd have to be quick
