Brent, just discovered you on KZfaq to learn more about lightning. The use of the Lume Cube mini panel and see how you use it is awesome! You have inspired me to to start night photography in earnest and use my Lume Cube. Thanks for a great channel and will be following you to learn more!

I like the end result. I see some of these astrophotography images where they composited the heck out of them and focus stack so much that the image looks unnatural. Doing it the way you did definitely has more of an organic feel. Another technique I recently saw someone do is to apply dodging techniques directly in front of the lens. He had a tent with a light inside and he just figured out the exposure for the Milky Way and then the exposure for the tent then he figured out the difference in exposure time and he blocked the tent out with his finger in front of the lens for that amount of time to even out the exposure between the two. I hadn’t thought to use darkroom techniques with digital straight in camera like that but it looked awesome.

Hey thanks for the kind words, I appreciate that! It's definitely a cool feeling when you're out there in the dark, putting in the effort to make the image, and it comes out the way you hoped.

Great video! This is really timely. I'm planning to do some Astro stuff tonight, (assuming the smoke from your fire dissipates). One question, if you were stacking the photos would you light the foreground in every photo or just one in the stack?

@BrentHall 4 жыл бұрын

I don't think it would hurt, but if I was gonna attack, I'd probably mostly be interested in the sky part, so I could get away with just one lit image for the foreground.

Dumb question, when you say “flash” do you mean light the foreground for 1-2 seconds and then turn the light off? How do you make sure the lumecube doesn’t wash out the stars? Thanks!

Hi Brent, Enjoyed the video. I love astrophotography. I'm very much a one shot/one edit kind of guy (I would like to say it has to artistic purity, but really, it's a lack of technical skill to do stacking :) ). I'd love your opinion on the Cube verus Panel Mini vs Panel Go. I'm primarily interested in the Lume Cube lights for ambient low level landscape lighting for mostly night/astrophotography - lighting up the foreground and such exactly like you are doing here. I had a Neewer LCD panel I bought a few years ago, but it was just too bulky to carry around when hiking around Ireland or Atlantic Canada (and took so many batteries). Also, even at it's dimmest settings, it would blow out long exposure shots unless I added some other type of diffusing element to it like a thin t-shirt, etc. I'm looking at both the Lume Cube 2.0 or the newer Lume Cube Panel Mini because they are so small, and for low level ambient light, I don't need the brightest lights in the world. Being able to just have them in my bag and not worry about the weight or size would be fantastic. Any thoughts or suggestions concerning the mini panel versus go? I have read enough about the Cube 2 to know it' should be great for outdoors/bad weather/low level lighting/chucking in water, but would appreciate any feedback you might have on either of the two Panels I mentioned.

@BrentHall 3 жыл бұрын

I use the panel mini more than anything. It can go to 1%, which is nice I just like it's form factor, color temp changer, and battery life. The Go is cool too, just bigger and brighter than the mini.

The camera won't catch the light on the ground if you point it at the sky, dipp it towards the tree then up to the sky again, haven't tried myself thou but seems logical.

Yeah, I usually do it that way. Sometimes I just don't think about things though.
