The First Astrophoto Every Photographer Should Take, Star-trails
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- The very first astrophoto that you should take is also the easiest one there is. It takes virtually no equipment. If you are fortunate enough to have an Olympus OMD or OM camera this is incredibly easy thanks to the Live Comp feature that is built into these cameras. Live in the city? Don't worry this feature even works in very light polluted skies.
In my video I included some photos taken by other OM System camera users. My thanks to them for contributing there excellent work.

Another great video! Live comp is just such an amazing feature of the OM and OM D cameras!
It really is!
Once you take the first image, only NEW light (which includes star trails) is added. So after the first image you don't overexpose the base image and you add other new lights. Great way to shot fireworks over city scenes; shoot your city scene then add as much fireworks as you want.
Thanks for featuring Ben. Live composite is one of the reasons I chose Olympus.
Hey Ben, thanks for the awesome video. For a beginner like me this is the perfect first step towards astro. Will definitely give it a go.
Thats great!
Thank you for sharing this information
This is very cool thank you
Awesome stuff! Thank you so much, I was just thinking the other day "I'm so interested in taking Astrophotography but was also afraid, cause I never knew where to even start, much less my first image try. So again, mucho kudos to you Sir!
Glad it was helpful!

Hey, you have forgotten to mention „Star-AF“ in combination with star trail pictures.
Some people actually defocus the stars ever so slightly to make their trails larger. That is why I did not bring it up. Wanted to keep the video short. But that is a good point.
Hey Ben,
quick question w.r.t. battery life on the idea of leaving the camera alone at night and returning only to shut it off: Will the Olympuses properly shut off & write the image before the battery is empty? And what is your experience in terms of battery life when it comes to exposure duration in live comp?
Cheers
Hmm I am actually not sure. I know one battery will be fine for at least 3hrs. I usually use two though. Anyone else tried to run a camera dead?
@@TheNarrowbandChannel In my experience the camera does somehow stop and save the live comp before the battery fails, no idea how! At least the M1.2, M1.3, M5.3 and TG6 all do, haven't done that long a LC on the OM-1 yet. The TG6 is a great way for someone to get into star trails because the Live Comp is pretty automatic and nails the exposure.
Ben those photos in Florida were during the winter months.
No last month.
only need camera and lens.
proceeds to use tripod.
Ha you got me man. Though when i went to Hawaii island i did skip the tripod and just propped it up on the table.
@@TheNarrowbandChannel Probably should mention dew heater requirement for colder months.
@@uhadonejob I have actually had very fecnights that required a dew heat here in the winter. Only in the morning hours is it needed.
