Nikon D3200 Milky Way, Is It Any Good.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2023
- I take my old Nikon D3200 out to capture the Milky Way. I got to a local land mark and wait for the clouds to clear and the stars to come out as it gets to astronomical darkness. I use photopills to make sure my composition is correct.
this vlog is filmed on my Nikon Z5 with the 24-50mm kit lens, my Nikon Z50 with the 16-50mm kit lens and my little Sony FDRX3000.
I hope you enjoy my little UA-cam vlog and find it useful.
Thank you for watching.
Incredibly nice images from that "beginner" camera. That was my forst camera that a friend bought me to get into photography and i never looked back. Shows you can get amazing images if you know what you are doing withbpretty much any camera
Ive got a real soft spot for that camera, just love to use it for old times sake. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very usefull video!I got a remote control for my D3200.Handy little thing for night still shots.
Great video and nice to see you’re local to me! I’m using the D3200 and struggling with night shoots, some nice tips to try, may even give Arundel a try too 👍
Thanks for this video you said you would make it and you delivered. You made it look easy
Thank you for watching, sorry it took a while to do, the weather has been bad for clear nights.
@focusphotonsfrugally6644 it's, have you thought about editing it on lightroom?
@@renaldoaggrey7060 yes this photograph has been edited slightly in Lightroom not by very much though. You have to be very gentle with the editing of files from the d3200 especially with Astrophotography. They can start to look very bad if you try to hard to “enhance” them too much.
Awesome vid dude. Loved the shot and cool plan! Handy dandy Photopills. Are u planning to shoot the meteor shower this weekend? It’s grey and cloud and rainy again here so probably cant 😂
Thanks Keith, I saw a few really good fireballs the night I did this vid. Obviously didn’t get any on camera though. I think we are in for the same as you here this weekend, the forecast is for cloud and rain. Standard weather for any astronomical occurrence it seems.
Well instructed video. Nice to see people going deep into the field late at night. Many are so scared these days of the adventure. @09:01 on my 4K 70 inch, you can see a prominent grid lines from the 3200 iso noise. Understanding you dont want star trails @ 30 sec exposure, is 3200 the lowest iso you use for 15 sec with 1.8 lens? I compromise and allow star trails just to use a lower iso to avoid noise. Noise to me is the worst in digital long exposures. Very difficult to accept as it messes with the composition. I dont like post processing. Everyone does it now, maybe I should as well.
What backpack is that? Also amazing video, I used to have a d5200 but I could never get these type of results out of it, you crushed it with that 3200!!!!!
Thank you, I just want to show people that you don’t need to spend a fortune to take great photographs. The backpack is a Shimoda explore 40, the original version. You can find them for about half price if you hunt around enough.
@@focusphotonsfrugally6644 hi. Thanks for the video. Can you please point to a link to the 35mm lens you said one should buy for Astro photography? Can you maybe list all the exposure settings you did before taking the photos ?
What app do you use to track the Milky Way ? Nice video.
Thank you for watching, the app is called photopills, it’s available for apple and android. Just a small one off payment, no ongoing subscription, which is good.
Thanks so much for posting this! Great lens recommendation. Would you recommend "Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED Wide-Angle Prime Lens" or the one you used? Bare in mind I would be taking the picture very first time. The 20mm is $800 odd and 24 mm 1K USD in the US. Also, may I ask what app did you use to find milky way?
The app is called Photopils. Wider is always better, but because the 24mm f1.4G ED is for a full frame camera you might not gain much in field of view. I think that the 35mm lens I used in the video is sharper at f1.8 than the 24mm is at f1.4 so you may not gain any advantage for all of that extra money. Have you looked at the sigma 18-35mm f1.8 it has a really good reputation and is considerably cheaper and would be more useful in the long term.
@@focusphotonsfrugally6644 thanks a lot for taking time to reply!!
I live my d3200, but I have always had trouble getting good low light shots. Recently I spent a lot of time on setting to get ready for the arora. I got some good shots, but again I disappointed with the quality of my pictures. Just can't seem to get away from the graininess of low light shots. Can't afford a new camera or high end lens.
Love it
What is the name of the app you use ?
Thanks for watching! The app is photopills you can get it on android and apple, good thing is it's just a one of payment, and it's really helpful for planning shots.
I am a beginner at photography and I am still learning to shoot at manual. Luckily, I have got same D3200 and a 35mm f1.8 lens for it which I thing would be great. Can you please guide me what would be the optimal settings in manual mode for such astrophotography? It would mean a lot to me.
Thanks.
Unfortunately I can’t give you a set of magic settings, you need to work that out for yourself. There are so many variables even something as simple as how far north or south you are on the planet will change the settings you need.
@@focusphotonsfrugally6644 I understand, thanks for your response!
