Nightscape Light Painting Amazing Milky Way Compositions

Рет қаралды 31,687

Күн бұрын

In this final video in our series on Nightscape Light Painting we look at an amazing milky way composition. This simple farm fence has become the subject of quite a complex collection of stacked sky images as well as a collection of fine art light painted foreground elements. All of these elements come together in our final amazing milky way shot.
I think it's important to maintain the simplicity of composition whilst incorporating all the techniques to maximise the wow factor in our nightscape images.
Thanks for watching and I very much value your comments and observations below.

Hi Richard, as usual you're willingness to share secrets (blow-by-blow) is very unique. If it was as easy as you make it look, you'd be out of business. Just brilliant. Thank you.

I've watched most of your videos... I've come to the conclusion that you are the "Bob Ross" of night scape photography. At the time of this comment, it is February 19th 2020 and the Milky-Way is just over the horizon at 3:45a.m. till astronomical dawn around 5:30a.m. Location: Northeastern Pennsylvania region. I have used Sequator for about 3 years now and have loved it. And your pronunciation of it is correct. This year I'm stepping it up and gonna do more tutorials on this technique and do portraits under the Milky-Way. Love your work!!

Apart from the tech' in all of your videos, it's the story telling you have mastered. A small suggestion for your workflow in photoshop, use a Group Folder for your Lighten Layers and one mask instead of pasting the mask multiple times. By selecting the background sky and creating a mask of it, you'll have the perfect mask for the foreground subject. When using the brush try using the (Mac) option+command to resize/soften your brush to speed up your process. As always by doing you inspire the rest of the seat warmers!

Hi, I just got the chance to know your channel, I really appreciate your effort to teach us some good stuff. I am new to photography and I admit I learned a lot from your page. Excited to go outside and try some of your methods. Good job man, really good job.

Hey Richard, thanks for all these amazing videos. I really enjoy watching them, nothing better then starting or ending the day with a cup of coffee and one or two videos from you. I´ve been fotographing 10 years ago as a secondary school student but could not continue after my camera broke. Now i found back my interest, thanks to you, and as soon as my camera arrives i´m looking forward to try all your amazing techniques. Keep up this brilliant work and greetings from Germany.
