Rest in peace, Alyn Wallace. You will be missed. This was your most helpful tutorial to me.
Is he dead 😿😿😿
@@nomadpralay1945 Sadly, yes. I now only go by his channel to remember him
@@hunter133official may his soul gets peace 🕊️😞🫂
What happened to him?
@@yetiimp he died of natural causes (i'm unsure what happened)
This video taught me how to do my HDR moon shots. Thank you, Alyn. May you rest in peace.
Best HDR moon tutorial on UA-cam
By far. First time on this channel, subscribed!
RIP My friend. You are still mourned through our community.
R.I.P Alyn, my thoughts to your family... Also a fellow Welsh man that only lived a few miles from me he was such a talented man and its great Alyn have past on his knowledge and have showed us all his amazing astro photos.
That last one is really beautiful.
Enjoyed that Alyn. I am the same as you and only do composites if I took the photos at the same time (i.e. focus stacks / HDR etc..). Although that last image was amazing!!!! It look 3D.
Thanks Nigel! Although I'm not really against composites that are not pretending to be a real photograph. That's what I don't get, people have unlimited freedom with composites, you could create a world that has a sunset and a sunrise going on at the same time with a giant ringed planet in the sky but nope, they just create stuff that could have been done with patience and planning.
Wow, didn't expect to see you in this comment section Nigel! Just came from one of your videos ahah. Keep up the great work, both of you :)
wow good to see you here Nigel

This comment backs up your moral standpoint with logic & facts. Subbed for life!
@@roadtrippin2781 I hope you're referring to your own life and not his, because if it's the latter I got some bad news...
Thank you for taking it a little slower. I'm one of those who is new to Photoshop. Also, thank you for sharing your thoughts and conveying your ethics on where the line is (or should be) with post processing. Very refreshing for those of us who want to hone our photography skills and have the editing bring out the detail of what we photographed, vs creating images that never existed.
Great tutorial. Can't wait for a clear evening when the moon is visible to try this out. 👍
Best description of masks and how to use them I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
Love it! I have a 150-600 on the way and this has been the main thing I've wanted a super tele for. Also, when doing a marquee, if you hold Alt (option on Mac) you can draw the marquee from a centre point instead of edges (can still use shift for a perfect circle). And also when masking out the stars you could also just ctrl/command click your existing mask from the glow layer to get the selection for the mask then invert it for a perfect mask of the moon instead of brushing. Hopefully this doesn't come across the wrong way, they're just two thing I use all the time that I wish I'd found out about earlier! Thanks again for another great tutorial
WOW, the best explanation of what a layer mask is I've ever heard!!! So clear! As the saying goes" If you cannot explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough yourself". Sir, you definitely know what you are talking about! Thanks a lot!
The end result is excellent. I think many non-diehard astronomy folks don't care if it's a composite, they just care about the feeling the image invokes. It's hard to describe what feeling I get other than amazement.
The adjustment layer clipping is something new I learned. Lots of new photoshop tricks in this!
A STUNNING composite ate the end of the video, can’t wait to try it ..
Outstanding video. Learned a lot. At 8:47 I had to look up creating the stamp visible layer on a MAC as you need to use Shift+Command+Option+E (Mac OS). Everything else was perfect and you made it straightforward and easy - Thank You.
cheers :)
Alyn, I appreciated the fact that you went slow. Thank you!
Indeed, didn't needed pause.
loved this cannot wait till the next full moon.
Excellent tutorial on the PS process in editing to make it easier to understand!!
I know the last one was a creative interpretation, but Wow!! It looks great!
I'm definitely giving your lesson, a try tonight or tomorrow. Which ever night the sky is clear for the Moon.
I can’t believe how amazing is that tutorial! Much simpler and easier than paid Photoshop courses!!!
Ok so I om going to have to watch this 50 more times and take notes! I have never understood how to do this. You have a new follower and I’m glad UA-cam does not get rid of videos for us latecomers
Thanks for explaining the basics. Now I actually understand what a layer mask is for the first time.
I have been trying this for a while. Now this video is out, it’s going to help
I just learned more on this tutorial than most other tutorials on UA-cam. Thank you!
you are amazing explaining ! Thank you so much for your time and work !
Awesome video. Just the perfect amount of detail. Thanks!
Hi Alyn, You're a wizard, well done.
Thank you man, in general I don't like watching photoshop tutorials at all, but really enjoyed watching this one. Learn a lot. It was very to the point, no endless talking about tiny little details no one cares about. But still very well explained, even for beginners. The internet needs more of that
Awesome final result
Thankyou so much for this video....iam a die hard selenophile..and was always blown away by such pictures...always wanted take this picture since iam a photographer...this video cleared all my confusions... thankyou so much once again❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i mean this fitted all the shots ive been shooting for a while especially the one 3 days ago and the result is .... im speachless thank you Alyn!
When you need to make a perfect circle selection, you can hold shift while you click and drag the selection, and then press and hold spacebar if you need to move the selection around. Just another method for selecting the moon without using the two guidelines. Not saying the guide method is "wrong" or anything like that, just offering up another way to do it that might save a little time in the future. :)
Man I learnt so much that I never ever learnt from any photoshop video before. Great work dude✌
This was amazing. Been looking at the moon the past few nights and didn’t have the motivation to get out and shoot it. I’ve now got a reason to shoot it. Thanks
No way, looks so good. Thanks!
That was a very nice tutorial. Well explained, simple and straight to the point. Not only learnt about how to HDR the moon, but also about a few tools I had no idea what they did (the ruler).
Nothing wrong with the second method so long as the technique is described and not tried to pass as something it's not! Looks stunning.
Explaining the layer masks was very good.
Two nights ago the crescent moon was about 1-2 degrees to the Pleaides. I bracketed the exposures but I did not know how I was going to process the images until I saw your tutorial. Thanks!
Been seeing a few of these images popping up the past week so this is a great tutorial at the perfect time. Great job Alyn thanks a lot.
Best tutorial ever.
Okay! Ready to follow along using images I took of the Nov 21 eclipse. Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial, very well explained
Pretty incredibe Alyn! Thank you for making the time to present your technique.
Perfect timing for this video. I have been playing with different stacking methods lately and I'm excited to try this to get stars in the same composition.
That was the best hdr moon tutorial I've seen so far!!!
Thank you for such a nice tuto. And thanks for making me realise the moral part..that is important for me too. Cheers
Super video Alyn. Very clear
Brilliant tutorial easy to follow and just the right amount of instruction.
Excellent video Alyn. A procedure that's quite complex but you explained it brilliantly.
Great work mate!
Simply... wow! Thanks Alyn.
BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Very very clever! Can’t wait to try
Great tutorial, well explained and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing!
A cool video again. I have been shooting the moon while at home
I found your channel on dec 2018 when you just posted the geminids meteor shower my fav video by far
This is brilliant, thanks for doing this
Great Tutorial Alyn. Thanks
Love seeing your pictures I’ve always loved Astronomy thank you
That looks awesome!
Thank you, Alyn. I just discovered your channel from Steven Barnes in a moveshootmove user group I joined on Facebook. At 49, Sometimes I feel too old to learn new things, but your tutorial and teaching style really helps. I truly appreciate it.
Very good tutorial
First try and came amazing
Thank you for amazing video
Just had a go at it. Definitely need a LOT of practice. And I might need to take the photos earlier when there's more light. My dark side was pretty much just noise.
Nice pace and good clear guidance - will definately try this out.
Wow, you made it so easy to understand.. good job
The YT algorithm reminded me of this tutorial, and it suggests a little project that will also serve my getting acquainted with the Benro Polaris; shoot tracked sunlit and earth shine lit exposures of the Moon tonight, then tomorrow night command the BP to point at the RA and Dec coordinates occupied by the Moon the night before to shoot a tracked set of the star field.
wow that last moon correct or not is ART
Fascinating. This one goes in my reference file so I can try it later.
Super helpful and amazing video, thank you!
awesome video. thanks for inspiring and teaching us like you do in every video!
Crystal clear... marvelous!!!
So awesome! Seems so straight forward but never even thought about trying this! Thanks for the video!
Nice one Alyn, may give this a go tonight. I always neglect the moon!
That's awesome, dude! Got some pretty impressive results for the first time here! Thanks a lot!
This was a crazy tutorial Learnt a lot
Really well explained - thanks
So helpful, thanks! Also a +1 vote here for slower Ps walkthrough, it makes a giant difference (for those of us less skilled in Ps)
Great video! Clear infos and easy to understand. Thanks! Clear skies!
If we could guarantee a month of clear skies here in sunny Yorkshire then I'd like to take a shot each night and make a composite of the whole moon with the terminator from each night. Then you'd have crazy detail in a full moon.
Have you ever tried bringing out the colour in the moon? Some of those pictures look amazing.
really really appreciate you taking the time to explain layer masks for us noobs. and this whole tutorial as well. Also appreciate your morals :)
Thank you for such an excellent tutorial. I have been struggling for months trying to create an efficient workflow for this. Yours is better by far! Thank you!
Something I tend to do to control the noise and increase detail is to take various shots of each "frame". Stack those then use the resulting images in the HDR process. Although I'm sure you already know that.
Very nice explanation on the techniques and process! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Omg!!!! Mind blown. Can't wait to try it soon 😍😍
Brilliant - great explanation.
Great video man! Broke it down nicely & made a great image!!
You are awesome Alyn! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks a lot for your tutorial. You explain it calm and clear! 👍 I created my moon shot two days ago and the result is great! 🌓 Thaaaaank youuuuu! 🙋♂️😀😎👏 Bravo!
Thank you! Loved this tutorial
thank you soo much !! ive been searching for a tutorial of this for ages !
Learnt a lot! Will be soon doing this!
Brilliant work! Thanks for sharing your process.
Excellent tutorial!
Beautifuly explained. Gonna try 👍
Thanks, Alyn awesome tutorial ....
Fantastic video Alyn! I'm trying to do more moon landscapes but with a well exposed moon, but not too well. But this method is perfect! Moons that have no glow in landscape images just look fake. Thanks so much for the video!
That,s amazing,thank you for this tutorial
Thank you for this excellent tutorial showing us two different approaches. Awesome. I'm glad I've subscribed to your channel. Lots to learn from you, thank you so much.
I so enjoyed this, thank you, Alyn!! And I learnt something new, too!
😊
