This is why it's so important that you help other photographers who ask...and don't just push them away. If it wasn't for these photographers being so open to sharing their settings and tips, I would never have gotten the shot I got. So a BIG THANK YOU goes out to them.
Hello. Hope you are doing well. A question Sir. I always shot on Manual, like ALWAYS. But why not use the AUTO setting for the situation where you have no idea whats going to happen? I means 1 camera for your Auto and the other (main) camera for your maual exposure.
@@sharjeelrazzaqphotography It's situation dependent. In this case the flame was as bright at the sun. So ISO 100 is a no brainer. You need to freeze the action so a pretty high shutter speed is a must and with the bright light. Setting the aperture to auto would have sent the aperture to f/2.8 I would never take a chance on any part of a rocket launch to be out of focus. For a live concert with a erratic lighting I shoot manual and auto ISO.
Jared, would Luminosity Masks be of any help processing the shots where you have bright engine flames and dark rocket body well above the tower in the frame?
Taking up photography 4 years ago this month and teaching myself without courses or going to workshops I'm a huge advocate for sharing settings and tips, i learnt what i know for free and i love being able to pass it on for free. Am i a great photographer no, but everyone is a beginner at some stage or maybe wanting to try something new. I mainly do basic nightscapes using only canon dpp4 to edit and sequator for stacking(no tracker, no photoshop/lightroom) and have passed on everything i know, and a couple of those people have now moved passed my level and are using trackers and mask editing etc.
I got some nice streaks, but should’ve used my cable release instead of the the internal intervalometer. Missed the first 20 seconds or so. At least I noticed it and still got most of the shot.
@@climber950 Not as bad as not realizing your wireless remote was on the same frequency as another photographer’s and when I started mine it stopped his then he restarted his which ended mine. Now all wired or via Bluetooth (when necessary)
I love how you walked up to these guys and basically asked for help and they at the same time just guided you in the right direction. This is such a great example of how important it is for photographers to support one another. Great video to start off 2023.
Been shooting launches for a long long time. You cannot overestimate the amount of light you have to work with, and just how dynamic it is. Once the vehicle is up past the top of the pad, you have limited time before there is no light reflected onto the vehicle. Another reason why "streak" shots are so much fun. Night launches are unlike anything you've ever photographed, and are soooo much fun. Oh, and John Kraus is one of the best, if not the absolute best, launch photographers we have out here. He consistently kills it, week in and week out. Super impressive work from him.
Loved how none of those photographers hesitated on giving you input on the settings they usually use and why they use those settings. They we're really cool!.
Kudos to those photographers who were more than happy to offer setting tips to you. True professionals. I've been out on moon rising and Milky Way shoots with non-pros who never want to help with baseline settings or tips. Don't even ask. And before anyone jumps in with "the light is constantly changing" during a moon rise, yes, I understand this. A few helpful tips would have been nice on the first try. Thank goodness for You Tube tutorials. Your final photo is really beautiful. I hope you get to experience a launch again. Thank you for taking us along.
*Photographing for the Space Force taught me to run a bunch of cameras for launch.* And if I'm lucky, one will turn out good! 😅 Something never fails to break or stop working the day of a big shoot like this.
I am in the early stages of planning a trip to the Space Coast. I am also rebuilding my lens collection after switching to Nikon (Z8) from Sony (A7Riii). Would I be better with a 100-400 or a 180-600mm lens? Thanks.
Very cool Jared. I actually worked for NASA in 1976 (yes I am old) my first job out of college as an electrical engineer (graduated in 1975). Got to experience the changing of the Apollo program to the Shuttle program. Hope you get to shot the next launch.
Pretty sweet to see all the behind the scenes of the people out shooting these awesome images. Also pretty cool they all seemed like younger guys. Inspiring to see younger people out there hustling and chasing their dreams.
Loved the video. Being an aviation photographer myself, future aerospace engineer and "all things that fly" lunatic, it's really nice to see these content coming to us, specifically since it's a very niche world of photography.
Jared this is why you are my favorite photographer here on UA-cam ‼️ I absolutely love your content! It’s always entertaining & informative! Great video!
I had such a fun night out there along the Banana River with the Z9 and a 400mm 2.8 with a 2x teleconverter. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. So glad I made the trip from northern Illinois for this launch.
I am hoping to see/photograph a launch soon. I just got a Z8 and I am considering getting the Nikon 180-600 lens. Would this be long enough to get a half decent shot (assuming I get everything else right) of a launch from the Banana river viewing area?
That was a very cool video. I really like listening to the conversations with the photographers. It all gives you a real appreciation for the work that goes into the setup for something like this all for a few pictures and over in a few seconds. And of course Jared you do a very nice job of keeping it entertaining. Well done!
Thrilled you witnessed a launch and captured photos. Loved how the other photographers helped you. Helping others means so much to everyone on the shoot.
Night launches are THE best. I've had the opportunity to see both from exactly where you were (Shuttle launches), and while both are truly inspiring and overwhelming, the night launch where it turns night into day is my favorite by far. Up-close launches and watching my children being born are almost indescribable feelings.
I'm glad you got the shoot. Seeing the video I was feeling the emotion of being there. Is a lifetime experience. I always have seen launch events by TV (before) or internet videos, but definitely you had the best spot, even if is assigned or limited. Great video! Thanks for sharing this experience.
This looks like a great time! Not just the launch, but hanging out with the other photographers. I have always enjoyed the interactions as much as the shoot when I go to events like this. As a side note, you could've still used the Benro with the 70-200 as long as you had a way to attach a plate to your camera. All you have to do is adjust the bottom arm of the Gimbal to it's top position. I recently did this on a trip to Alaska with my R3 and 24-70 since I could only take one tripod and needed the Gimbal for my 600 f4.
Really enjoyable to watch and get carried along with the anticipation of the event. Great editing and shooting of the video. As always, thanks for sharing.
So cool to see the video from this adventure. A huge thanks to our esteemed colleagues that gave us the beta on exposure or I would have totally biffed it myself. Hope you are well amigo. See you at the next launch!
That's just freaking sick man! I was up watching the NASA UA-cam stream and it was just such an awesome event! Congrats on the shot man, regardless of it was or wasn't your best not many people can say they've had that experience!
Well done Jared. That is a great shot. And thanks to the guys that offered you help with the settings. We don't get a lot of that sort of help here in the UK.
Congratulations Jared! The video is dynamite and your end result photo is too cool! Persistence pays off. I am fortunate as I live about 1.5 hrs away from the west coast Space Force Base at Vandenberg. They have been launching rockets too often to count. Just got my Z9 so I am looking forward to trying out that 120 FPS option. If a person hasn't witnessed an up close launch, they are missing an audio treat for sure. It is the sound of victory baby! And BTW Fro DOES know photos! Proven.
We have over 20 launches scheduled in California 2024 March-May. This information was very much what I needed for the upcoming launches of SpaceX Falcon 9. Thank you.
It is humbling to see an expert photographer like you admitting that you still have a lot to master regarding this specific type of photography. Great photo!
I was stationed there at Patrick AFB (space force now I guess) with the Air Force from 2011-2017. I loved watching the launches. Even got to watch from the control center. Amazing stuff.
Second tag along video I've watched today. Gosh, so neat! Off the photo subject, I've seen F-16s take off from Truax and I can't imagine the sound from that launch.
I was lucky enough to be able to shoot one of the morning launches, it was really tough getting exposure during the day as well, since the rockets light up the sky as well, The launch streaks are another cool thing to follow!
I liked this video and your interaction with fellow photographers. One learns so much from others with their experiences and they in turn can learn from you. The launch and its extreme challenges was definitely a major learning opportunity and must have been as exciting as it was nerve wracking! A few years ago I wanted to try and shoot fireworks which I have never done and always thought it would be very difficult to do. I checked out a few videos and used the average settings suggestions to have some fundamental idea. I set my camera on a tripod and tried it out. I was very surprised and pleased by the results. I probably would have struggled if not for the tips. I would have used a very fast shutter speed and and the wrong focus depth and f stops. The tips and having an idea what to expect meant I had a nice shooting experience instead of a frustrating one. Thanks, Bari
Excellent video as always......... that must have been a unique experience, I would never have imagined using those settings............ that's the kind of friends I need....... lol .... Congratulations, I'm a fan of your videos, plus I have a lot of fun with your sarcasm.
The easiest solution for the auto shutter issue is a cheap wired shutter remote with a lock-on function. I do a lot of Astro stuff and I use one so I can trigger the camera without physically touching it for clearer long exposures. But in your situation you could have set the camera to burst and slide the lock on the remote and just let it run.
Jared is obviously not a space nerd, or he would have remembered the "roll program" call from the shuttle launches! Jared: Make friends with Tim Dodd, the Everyday Astronaut. He's a UA-camr who has been selected for a crew that will circumnavigate the moon. Maybe you'll get invited to photograph some of the crew training, pre-launch prep, and the launch! That would be awesome!
You can set Canon bodies to the shutter delay timer with Continuous Drive, and then use the Multiple Exposure mode to capture a continuous burst of dozens of shots. You may need to dial down the high fps of the R Series bodies so that you capture of continuous burst that lasts for a few seconds.
Really interesting and challenging. Thanks for the vid. Would a grad filter on camera, dark at the bottom give a chance to get a bit more exposure on the rocket it you are tracking?
This inspired me for my next project. I live in Florida but didnt think about the rocket launches!? I live near Tampa but will be worth the drive over to the Cape.
glad they were willing to share! ive shot a full moon with my wife's rebel and 55-250. at ISO 100 i found that f11 and 1/500 is good for exposure so i can understand where they would be exposing for
Is f11 necessary for objects at such distances? I mean wouldn't we get the same type of depth of field with the lens at f8 or f6.3 when shooting subjects from such distances?
Wondering if you took your launch shot and did post in Photoshop if you couldn't "select" the plume and darken it a bit then do an inver sellect and adjust from there? Just asking for a friend...
Funnest video of them all.... Loved the Red Team "Torking the nuts" LMAO I had the same expression when I heard Trevor's settings of 1/2000 @F9... I was like Whaaat! lol Great shot btw, was it hard to get a pass for that spot? Live 2 hours down the road from there and looking to get a nice long exposure from the beach but would love to go up and shoot from there also
Trevor seems chill. I’ve had some interactions with John Kraus on social media that left a lot to be desired. Maybe he’ll become more humble as time goes on
if it is so difficult to get usable dynamic range... what do you think of shooting it simultaneously with two exactly equal setups (lets say 2x R3+400f2.8), like when you did eye-AF testing between brands, but with an 8 to 12 stop difference of exposure value beween both cameras? Then you could work with a stack of 2 images taken at the exact same moment (wich is not difficult at 30fps) but with different brightness levels and you'd have plenty more of dynamic range to work with, kinda like what you'd do to manually achieve an HDR. You would'nt have to deal with perspective because shooting with a long lens from a long distance, it woud'nt be noticeable. Or what the hell, you could even use a 5 camera setup with those money trucks you're getting. Would it work?
This is why it's so important that you help other photographers who ask...and don't just push them away. If it wasn't for these photographers being so open to sharing their settings and tips, I would never have gotten the shot I got. So a BIG THANK YOU goes out to them.

This was excellent! Great work and thanks for the BTS!
What a great experience! A "T Shirt" with your launch photograph printed on it and signed may be a collectors item worth buying.
Really enjoyable to watch and get carried along with the anticipation of the event. Great editing and shooting of the video. As always, thanks for sharing.
I’m very impressed with what you got. I’m also impressed at the guy who turned up with a bunch of DSLRs because they’re dead, right? ;)
So cool to see the video from this adventure. A huge thanks to our esteemed colleagues that gave us the beta on exposure or I would have totally biffed it myself. Hope you are well amigo. See you at the next launch!
Good job Jared. It is nice to help other photographers out when you can.Something I have always done.

awesome seeing all the collaboration and other photographers freely sharing info to get the best shot
This is the most interesting video of yours I seen. Seeing relatively young men with experience most photographers never approach. Nicely done.
Chatting with the other photographers made this vid so rad. Great vid. And damn that’s bright.
Terrific video, Jared. Thanks for taking us along and through all of that.
You and Steven are top notch. I enjoy and appreciate you guys!
What about Dan?
Hell of a Dynamic Range between the Engines and the Sky. You did very Well
I purchased one of the signed copies last month and I can say to anyone thinking of purchasing a print "it's great and worth it". All the best.
It was so cool to see all the launch photographers I follow in this video as well. Get to some more launches!
We have over 20 launches scheduled in California 2024 March-May. This information was very much what I needed for the upcoming launches of SpaceX Falcon 9. Thank you.
It is humbling to see an expert photographer like you admitting that you still have a lot to master regarding this specific type of photography. Great photo!
Awesome. Always inspiring to see you work. You're being very humble about your talent. Those are some stellar shots. 👏
Fantastic vlog! Really cool to hear what the other photographers are using for gear and settings
This was a fun video. I'm glad to see the photographers sharing their knowledge, they could've kept it competitive. Also, nice shot Jared!
Dude this was awesome even though it was your first time! This is great! I would love to do this! Fantastic video bro!
I loved shooting Artemis it was an amazing launch and definitely the brightest launch I’ve ever seen
Yooo so glad you got to meet my buddy Dustin (15:40)! I was working at the Launch Control Center that day. Nice shots :)
Looks like a lot of fun. Might have to add a rocket launch to the list
I was stationed there at Patrick AFB (space force now I guess) with the Air Force from 2011-2017. I loved watching the launches. Even got to watch from the control center. Amazing stuff.
One of my favorite videos. Good stuff!
sometimes I forget how dope it is to live on the space coast. Don’t like much else about Florida but this is definitely pretty freaking cool.

Awesome! Being at the Sp[ace X Falcon Heavy launch was the single greatest thing I experienced
Great video fella and fantastic final image! Congratulations!
Excellent video as always......... that must have been a unique experience, I would never have imagined using those settings............ that's the kind of friends I need....... lol .... Congratulations, I'm a fan of your videos, plus I have a lot of fun with your sarcasm.
i've hung out with all these guys at many launches- all good dudes and good knowledge from them all =)
Maaaaaan, this was really cool to watch. It was great meeting you down there! Maybe see you at another NASA Social!
Great conversation with the other photogs.
Congratulations for getting that awesome photo
That has been a nice one, no clickbait title an etretaining content, thanks!
Go away with the backhanded compliments.
The easiest solution for the auto shutter issue is a cheap wired shutter remote with a lock-on function. I do a lot of Astro stuff and I use one so I can trigger the camera without physically touching it for clearer long exposures. But in your situation you could have set the camera to burst and slide the lock on the remote and just let it run.
Thanks for the insights! would have messed up my settings aswell on my future trip to a start. soo money!
bruh.. this and the MLB video.. AWESOME!!!!
thank you so much for your work!!!
Jared is obviously not a space nerd, or he would have remembered the "roll program" call from the shuttle launches!
Jared: Make friends with Tim Dodd, the Everyday Astronaut. He's a UA-camr who has been selected for a crew that will circumnavigate the moon. Maybe you'll get invited to photograph some of the crew training, pre-launch prep, and the launch! That would be awesome!
Woahhh this is next level! 🚀
I want to know more about the remote cameras and how that setup worked.
This was a really great video!
You can set Canon bodies to the shutter delay timer with Continuous Drive, and then use the Multiple Exposure mode to capture a continuous burst of dozens of shots.
You may need to dial down the high fps of the R Series bodies so that you capture of continuous burst that lasts for a few seconds.
Shout out to the guy shooting DSLRs and getting better images than the mirrorless cameras.
Cool beans! Kudos to the guys.
That was awesome!
Fascinating listening to you guys discussing what settings and set ups being used ,
Really interesting and challenging. Thanks for the vid. Would a grad filter on camera, dark at the bottom give a chance to get a bit more exposure on the rocket it you are tracking?
Congrats man. 👌🤘
Fro knows fro-toe!!
🤣
This inspired me for my next project. I live in Florida but didnt think about the rocket launches!? I live near Tampa but will be worth the drive over to the Cape.
What a bunch of nerds. I love it.
One of my favorite videos you guys have done. #FRODOESSPACE
glad they were willing to share! ive shot a full moon with my wife's rebel and 55-250. at ISO 100 i found that f11 and 1/500 is good for exposure so i can understand where they would be exposing for
Is f11 necessary for objects at such distances? I mean wouldn't we get the same type of depth of field with the lens at f8 or f6.3 when shooting subjects from such distances?
Wondering if you took your launch shot and did post in Photoshop if you couldn't "select" the plume and darken it a bit then do an inver sellect and adjust from there? Just asking for a friend...
Funnest video of them all.... Loved the Red Team "Torking the nuts" LMAO I had the same expression when I heard Trevor's settings of 1/2000 @F9... I was like Whaaat! lol Great shot btw, was it hard to get a pass for that spot? Live 2 hours down the road from there and looking to get a nice long exposure from the beach but would love to go up and shoot from there also
Fun chat with the guys
Trevor seems chill. I’ve had some interactions with John Kraus on social media that left a lot to be desired. Maybe he’ll become more humble as time goes on
if it is so difficult to get usable dynamic range... what do you think of shooting it simultaneously with two exactly equal setups (lets say 2x R3+400f2.8), like when you did eye-AF testing between brands, but with an 8 to 12 stop difference of exposure value beween both cameras? Then you could work with a stack of 2 images taken at the exact same moment (wich is not difficult at 30fps) but with different brightness levels and you'd have plenty more of dynamic range to work with, kinda like what you'd do to manually achieve an HDR. You would'nt have to deal with perspective because shooting with a long lens from a long distance, it woud'nt be noticeable. Or what the hell, you could even use a 5 camera setup with those money trucks you're getting. Would it work?
Jared, could you bracket your exposure as well for the launch or is it just too fast that it wouldn't work out?
Please how a sign number print is any diffrent or cost more then a regular print. What are the legal or collectors different
