Let me show you how I compose and shoot long-exposure moonscapes in this info-packed video, which takes you on location and shares some valuable post-processing secrets.
We finally break the camper out of winter storage and go on our first road trip of the year to indulge in some moonscape landscape photography.
After stopping for waffles and a milkshake, we find a spectacular sea stack on the coast that begs to be photographed.
The Bay of Fundy is known for its treacherous tides, but my lame attempt at planning does at least extend to checking the tide tables.
On my first test shot, I quickly capture a strong Moonstar image and share my post-processing tricks using the latest tech from Luminar Neo.
After that, the clouds put an end to my moonscape shoot but the sunrise promises to be absolutely glorious.
What happens when Amanda eats Ramen noodles, and why is my hair so high? Why do I have a massive bell in my backyard, and what's my face like?
There's really one way to find out.

Love the shot of arched sea stack! The colors were gorgeous. Not sure how I feel about the fake sun rays on the second one. I was impressed by the image before you mentioned the rays were fake, then I started to prefer the original shot while you were going back and forth between them. Haha strange how the brain works. 😅

Ooo that sunrise was nice! I film a lot of sunsets over the tidal coasts of Tampa for my channel, and I often get that worry about the color not quite kicking off all the way. You're lucky you have sea stacks to work with, but if you ever fancy a Florida Gulf coast sunset with water birds and mangroves, let me know! There's even a nice Canadian RV park for you here. lol

@somegeezer 28 күн бұрын

Tip with sunstars [or moonstars, as may be the case], is that they always have an even number of arms. It's to do with the number of blades in your lens aperture. An even number of blades will have that same number of arms. An odd number of blades, will have double that number of arms. Doubling an odd number is always even.

Gavin, I'm addicted to your channel and love your videos. Here's a thought about your edits. Possibly the bright spot glowing through the cloud left of the stack could have been taken out. It distracted me as it actually looked like the sun and it confused my eyes in relationship to the sunrays placement. Thank you for your incredible and tireless education. Can't wait until your next video!

Gavin, I have to say that this image, with the light striations added by Lumina, is a bit on the fake looking side since the striations appear on the camera side of the mound while, of course, the moon is on the back side of the moon some 240,000 miles away. Basic physics tells you that this just can't be real. On a positive note, Amanda really looks hot with the check slacks at the beginning of the video. Love the XPAN shot, one of my favorite crop modes!

@rolandrickphotography Ай бұрын

Ahhh ok, questions answered at 10:47. - To whom it may concern: The low blade count of the Hasselblad lenses result in low sun/moon/light star quality. The best results delivers the XCD 2.8/65. Or any of the Leica APO-Summicron-SL lenses. If someone reading this being on a budget: mirrorless cameras have generally a low sunstar quality because the sensor includes also the AF technology, that results in ugly side effects. Not so a DSLR, the AF sensor is in the bottom of the body and if the mirror is flipped away, nothing messes up with the lenses. DSLRs still deliver best sun star quality ever. Just ensure to purchase a lens having wide open no coma at the edges (e.g. the Sigma ART lenses, bulky, heavy, excellent quality). Attention, no sun stars wide open. You must stop down at least to F8 or F11.
