    This showed up in my feed today. Alyn's videos were a great source of learning when I got into astrophotography a few years ago and continue to be. I think though, that the big lesson for me in this video is to treat every moment like it might be your last chance, "for a very long time". Rest in peace Alyn and thanks for your creativity, teaching, and inspiration.

    Hearing you say ‘it’ll be a long time till I get to photograph the southern hemisphere again’ and you passing away, shows how you should enjoy every moment like it’s your last.

    I've been missing these adventure vlogs so much man! What a treat this one was 😀. Such a stunning location. Really respect the speed you work at under time pressure at 5000m altitude while also making a vlog and trying to be sociable with the people around you 😅. Love the airglow tbh, makes it extra unique.

    Dear Alyn,
    I watched this video again, and this is absolutely amazing. This video must have been very hard for you.
    I have noticed a trend that most astro photographers are no longer doing timelapses.
    Even in this video, when you shot the star trails, i think it said that was 790 shots so that could easily be a 15-20 second timelapse video
    I got inspired by your work and started doing timelapses, but now i am questioning why are so many people giving up on timelapses
    are those no longer interesting for people or is it unrealistic goal to have a channel of milkyway timelapses

    • @AlynWallace
      @AlynWallace  9 місяців тому +3

      Thanks! The star trail was shot in portrait orientation and also at a super low ISO so the individual images would be dark. The reason I don't do much time-lapse anymore is because they take so long! You have to leave your camera for hours and then process for hours more. I'm already doing photography, UA-cam and all the stuff behind the scenes to run a successful business. So I leave time lapsing to the pros these days, people like Night Lights Films and Timestorm films. Also, they take up a lot of GB and I've spent enough on hard drives as it is!

      thank you for your response.
      I am new to this, so completely forgot that startrails would be at lower ISOs.
      Your work is really inspiring. Thank you for all the knowledge and guidance.
      I am only in my second Milkyway season and I am honestly asking myself is it a good idea to do timelapses.
      Wish you well for you channel/ business.
