Shooting Multi Row Milky Way Panoramas
Рет қаралды 11,291
2 жыл бұрынAs I continue my road trip around South Australia I spent a glorious night shooting multi row panoramas at the amazing Moonta Copper Mine ruin. This location was always high on my wish list to visit and it certainly didn't disappoint. I mainly shot panoramas at this site to capture the space, ambience and grandeur of the place. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Richard, I was so happy when I read the title of this video, I have wanted this for some time. The location looks terrific in daylight, I am sure at night it is even better. I did winder about what looked like civilisaton just nearby, so I am interested to see the final results. I must admit, from watching many of your videos, it strikes me that Australians really do care for their heratige. Nearly all the places you visit seem to be well accessable and also have lots of innformation availlable about them. Yes, the final panos weregreat, I didn't expect anything less! My favourite was the third one, where the two buildings were placed close to oneanother. I had to laugh when you said you were chasing good weather! From what I have seen your worst weather is better than our best weather, we would die for such conditions in the northern hemisphere!

Fantastic! What another fine video you have produced for us, you made that old engine house stand out gracefully against that wonderful night sky. Every time I watch your videos I learn something different and many times I still have so many questions I would love to be able to ask. So many that it would take me longer to ask you than it did for you to make these amazing images….even including editing time. I always pause the videos and have a look at your settings, I kinda study them for a good while and I try to figure out what you actually did to achieve the photographs you produce. I probably sound boring but I love trying to figure out how you did it and how it turned out the way it did. I think your a bit like a modern day Harry Houdini in the photography world, you pull off some amazing magic with your photography 😁Thanks Richard for taking your time to make these videos for all of us to enjoy 😁👍

It is not a fast lens f/3.5 24mm bur the images fit together seamlessly. You keep on inspiring. Well done.

The Yorke Peninsula is an amazing part of Australia, dark night skies when looking west, bubble glow of Adelaide when looking east and beautiful secluded beaches with perfect sand, cliffs and basaltic rocky outcrops (into the water). Plenty of long wooden jetties to use as elements for either day or night time photography. The whole Peninsula is great for all round compass photography. Miss it.

The Yorke Peninsula is covered, like the Eyre Peninsula in old buildings. I enjoyed travelling north to Arkaroola and the Oodnadatta Track. Marree and a few of those older towns with old buildings and old trains. You could spend a life time out there and only see a small percentage on what this wonderful country has to offer. And fortunately for us today, digital cameras and a memory cards make photography life so much easier. There are a few abandoned towns north of Port Augusta that might be great for your wonderful work. Farina is probably a good one.

Incredible images once again Richard, your ability to foresee how an image will look and how to go about lighting it is amazing. Years of practice, trial and error no doubt play a big part. Also having the gear that is capable of producing such images and post production skills go a long way. You have taken Astrophotography to a very high level and it’s inspiring to watch how you do it 👌 haven’t managed to get a Milky Way central core shot yet in the UK but have a few more optimal dates to try 🤞

Amazing as always! have watched many, if not all of your videos and it struck me that I don't know if I've ever heard you mention focus stacking. Do you ever do that?
@nightscapeimages.richard 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your great support Andrea. I do focus stacking but not as much as you may expect. For these large expansive subjects using wide angle lenses there is no need to focus stack. If the foreground is closer then often I'll stop down the lens and that has the effect of increasing the focal depth of field . .so more is in focus. For example the shot at 18:44 When I stopped down the aperture to f5.6 the foreground is now in focus. I didn't change the lens at all from infinity.

Once again excellent work, thank you very much for sharing. If you use a tracker, why do you take photos at 1600 ISO at 60sec and not at less ISO and longer exposure time? The Nikon Z6 II has ISO invariant. As you can see in the graph on the link below, the noise level in the image increases significantly from ISO 640 onwards. My suggestion would be to use a maximum ISO of 640 with the corresponding exposure time. This is my opinion, I could be wrong :)
@nightscapeimages.richard 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for your comments Rui, always appreciated. There is no doubt that the theory says certain iso's are the most efficient with these modern cameras . .The thing is that when out shooting in the field there are many factors that come into play. Not the least of which are time restraints or approaching weather. I deliberately used a shorter shutter speed and slightly higher iso's to simply save time. I'm shooting a lot of compositions in a short space of time. . not to mention making the videos at the same time. .In an ideal world I may do things differently but mostly I'm happy to go with the settings that best suit the situation. As well as that I often shoot the Z6 at very high iso's .. maybe 6400 and then stack to help with noise. . it works well and the images from this camera are superb. The other factor that I'm surprised more people don't mention is that when under-exposing in camera it's often very difficult to see what you've just shot. So if shooting panoramas for example, we need to overlap and make sure everything lines up from image to image. . much harder when everything is dark on the camera screen. Just my experience with these things.

Fantastic series of images Richard. Such a shame about the other location being under restoration at the time. Everyone seems to have a tale about a similar experience. I've scoped out scenes only to come back later and things have been blown down, knocked down and even burnt down. Luck of the draw I guess.

Hello Richard, wonderful video as usual. Thank you for taking the time to produce such wonderful content. Do you know of a product similar to the old Hahnel Inspire (which allowed to remotely trigger your camera with a live view monitor. I know Camranger Mini is available for use with iPhones but was hoping to get something with a monitor as I don't have a cell phone. I tend to do a lot of light painting in my night time images, and having to go back to the camera every time (or almost) to check my composition is a real nuisance especially when it involves climbing. Cheers Richard.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Very helpful and easy to understand. Did you move the tripod when you shoot tracked sky? I can imagine it would be very hard for me to blend it into foreground as there is foreground subject (Buildng, trees etc) along the horizon.... I am looking for multi row track pano tutorial and post process from you coming soon. Still have not found anyone on youtube explaining this thing properly and they mostly don’t show the process in detail. Hope to see you demonstrate it on the field. Thanks

Stitching
@nightscapeimages.richard 2 жыл бұрын
Well for these most of the processing was done after the stitching. The tracked sky makes it a lot more complex but generally I'll do a few basic steps on each image in Lightroom and then do the actual stitching in Photoshop. Then the sky is blended in Photoshop also.

Hi Richard, I know this was a pano, and you have showed how many images it took to make it, but can you tell me how many images wide and high the pump room was please. I have to go do a shoot tonight using the moon to light a wooden house and also cliffs behind and to the right of it, I then want to go back and get the Milky way in a couple of weeks. I am guessing at 4 x 4 and stacked. I too will be using a tracker for the sky with my 20mm 1.8. Many thanks mate.
@nightscapeimages.richard Жыл бұрын
There were a few different images Roy. But as a general rule for these wide panoramas I'd often go about 9 or 10 images wide with a very healthy overlap between images. At least 50%. Depending on how high I need to go. . perhaps 2 rows but sometimes 3 rows. I didn't stack any of my panoramas panels, and rarely do for panos.

G’day Richard regarding this content. I was wondering what the shooting and editing looks like when doing a tracked sky panorama and a light painted foreground especially since the foreground would be moving and therefore blurred. So how do you end up with a sharp foreground in the image. Thank you.
@nightscapeimages.richard Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for watching. As you said, when using a tracker the foreground is always blurred . .therefore you always have to shoot the foreground separately from the sky. This is the case even with single shots. So that's what I did here. I'll do an editing video at some stage covering this with panoramas .. but this video is basically the same process except it's not a pano. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqSoMiXldGVm6s.html

I have only used 2 brands of trackers. The one I used on this trip was the ioptron Sky Guider Pro.
