In this show, we look at how to shoot one of the most spectacular natural phenomena - the Aurora Borealis, or northern lights. We also tag along on a commercial property shoot to get some tips on how to get photos of your home with the wow factor. We critique your photos in the Photography Online Surgery and we show you some wildlife tips from the north of Scotland to Dartmoor National Park.

Hi F22. All the shots you saw in the property feature were single exposures, but you are correct that in many situations where it is super bright outside and quite dark inside, it can be tricky to get the full dynamic range in a single exposure.

Hi Keith. Thanks for letting us know you are having trouble finding the links (you're not the only one). It depends on what device you are watching on. If it is a computer, then below the video will be a text description which will only show you the first three lines, but at the end of this there is a "show more" tab which will reveal the remaining text. You will then see the links. If you are watching on a phone or a tablet then you should see a small down arrow in the lower right corner (below the video area) which, when pressed, will also open up the video text. If you are watching on a TV, then as far as I know, there is no way to see the text. This is a KZfaq thing, not a Photography Online thing, so please don't judge us! Thanks for watching.

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

It's a good question Mark. I never fiddle with White Balance, as if you shoot in RAW then it's pretty much irrelevant anyway. I just use AWB and have never had a problem. It seems only when people start trying to manually control the shite balance that things go wrong! We don't cover this in part 2, as I don't see it as being an issue really. If you've had any problems with it in the past then let me know and I'll see if I can help. Thanks for your continued support.

For many years I was a magazine editor and got to spend time with some top shooters. Good tips on the interior shots. Noticed the exteriors also were nicely lit. Do you prefer bracketing, HDR, or ?? to get both interior and exterior correctly lighted? I assume those were some type of composition. Cheers.

Hi RR. No composites - all those shots were single exposures, but if it had been a darker interior and brighter exterior then I would have had to merge two exposures. I try to avoid it wherever I can. Thanks for watching.

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dennis. It was just a headtorch. It strobes for video, so not much use, but is fine for stills if the exposure is slower than around 1/8th. You can use any torch, but you don't really want one which is too warm or too cool. The one I used is daylight balanced, but by luck rather than design. Hope this helps.

Unless I missed it, I can't recall you mentioning the focal length of the lens you used in your indoor property shots. I think you just referred to it as a wide angle lens. Can you share that information with us?

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ken. It was a 12-24mm, but the exact focal length (which varied from shot to shot) is not that important, which is why I only referred to it as "wide angle". Anything wider than 20mm on a full frame camera should be useful in most spaces, but in bigger spaces you can probably get away with 24mm. Obviously small spaces such as bathrooms need as wide as possible. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Hi Richard. If you shoot in RAW (which you should for Astro) then white balance is irrelevant because you can set it at the post editing stage. My advice would be to keep it on AWB so it looks reasonably natural on the back of the camera. Hope this helps.

Marcus, you really should invest in a wide angle tilt-shift...

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi D. I used to have one but never used it so sold it. The tilt is irrelevent for architecture, and the shift is only needed if you want to point the camera upwards or downwards - something I can't see why anyone would ever want to do (unless you want to photograph the floor or the ceiling of course). It's far easier to just use a standard lens and ensure everything is straight.

@erikswenson2659 3 жыл бұрын

Q for Marcus on property shoots. Looks like he made a special effort to balance interior lighting with exteriors views. Typically, views out of windows are blown out. Any tips (is rhis hdr, supplemental interior lighting, choosing a particular time of day, etc.)?

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Erik. Thanks for the question. It really depends on each individual situation, as the difference in luminance levels between the interior and exterior is unique to each property and to the external conditions. The shots you saw on this show are taken on a single exposure but if it was a darker apartment and a bright sunny day then it would not be possible. In this situation you would need to take two exposures and blend them in post, but I try to avoid that if possible. The best way to control this is by shooting in the right conditions/time of day, but it can be tricky to photograph a large property in the short window of opportunity when the ambient light is perfect - say at twilight. Hope this helps

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi David. I used to use a shift lens (tilt won't be of much use for interiors) but to be honest, it's easier using a standard lens and ensureing the camera is level. I sold my tilt/shift a long time ago as it was never used. I don't do VR but it's better to do that with a dedicated camera rather than faff around with multiple shots - unless you need it to be super high res. But if it's just for website, then low res is usually fine. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your videos, they are great and very informative. But I wondered why all your experts and people featured in the videos all insist on carrying camera gear around worth thousands of pounds with no carrying strap or safety device to prevent the camera and lens getting smashed. Some of the high end DSLRs are worth over £5000, that's just for the camera body! You must have good insurance cover!!!

@PhotographyOnline 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike. Thanks for your question - which is an easy one to answer. Straps are all very good until you want to use your camera on a gimbal or on a tripod in high wind - then they become a liability. So we tend not to use them at all, unless we have a specific reason to do so (which we rarely do). On the safety aspect - keeping your camera in a camera bag is much safer than having it over your shoulder or around your neck. You're much more likely to smash it against rocks or a wall if you have it dangling from your body in some way. Hope that makes sense.
