Tracked Sky Replacement - in Photoshop

Рет қаралды 16,375

Күн бұрын

This week I've been busily shooting various locations with the tracker refining some techniques with the intention of creating Tracked Sky Replacements in photoshop using the new algorithm.
My biggest challenge has always been blending busy foregrounds, usually light painted and blended already into the background night sky.
This video takes us from the capture process as we shoot using the tracker, then proceed to light paint this gorgeous old building. Then we go back to the studio and go through the full edit to produce this fabulous shot featuring the constellation Orion setting over the scene.
I'll be using lots of techniques here including focal length blending and my latest polar alignment method. At the end of the video I'll be showing some other images shot and processed these last few days as well.
I'd love to read your comments below. Thanks for watching.

Your joy and love for this subject is back with a vengeance and this video diary shows it off perfectly. I love the way you explained each Rich-masterpiece-ard creation and your methods that you used in each of the mirage of shots, that you obviously enjoyed doing.

Thank you for your video and sharing your own thoughts on the subject of focal length blending, which polarises so much opinion among astrophotographers. The sky replacement feature looks an amazing tool for blending tracked and static images.

@nightscapeimages.richard 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much Craig. I think that anyone who uses a star tracker must face the reality that if we want a foreground in our shots we need to do sky replacement. I think that's a completely different conversation to replacing the sky in daytime landscape photos. As far as mixing focal lengths . .that a creative choice and one that I reckon needs full disclosure especially for those who don't fully understand such things. Creativity should have no borders but honesty in my opinion is very black and white.

Hi Richard, this was the video I have been waiting for and I was not disappointed. In your last video some one asked about polar alighnment and I replied telling of the Polemaster. This is basically the same as your iOptron one, but yours is all built in, very nice. The pics were terrific. I was gobsmacked to see the image of Orion with the 50mm f1.8 - I will have to try this myself, I can hardly believe it can show the nebulosity. Once again, many thanks for this detailed video, it was well worth it. By the way, when I shot orion I will make sure his head is at the top !

Ooh, controversial! But, as you say, it’s art! To be honest, it isn’t too unrealistic. It reminds me of that cool compression effect you get with a very long lens, so the final image appears as if it has been shot from much further away if that makes sense. Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot for watching Phil. Yes the compression of the background does have that effect. Everyone has an opinion on these things.

Very nice to see the set up and use of the tracker in the southern hemisphere. Certainly makes it much more tempting to get one. Here's hoping they can figure a way to do the align with a smart phone since I already go everywhere with two phones (iPhone for work and my personal phone is android)... Might experiment with the sky replacement before diving into a tracker. 17mm f1.2 should give me some nice sky when added to the 7-14mm F2.8.

Amazing work flow. Learning so much from your video tutorials. Particularly how to use Photoshop LR tools fresh is a daisy when it comes to editing. Cheers !

@@nightscapeimages.richard your efforts are not going unappreciated. What are your secrets for finding these amazing locations? I'm a local truck driver here in the US. I generally travel and within a 160km radius of Philadelphia. The light pollution here is bortle 9 but I travel through Bortle 3-5.5 and have been amassing a flagged folder on Google maps with interesting locations I see in my daily travels for future use.

Fantastic results mate! And a great way to add some interest in the sky for the MW off season, when the core isn’t visible in the Southern Hemisphere . You made the polar alignment look extremely simple too, looks like it will work great, even when Polaris isn’t visible to the eye. I have no doubt I’ll be referring back to this video numerous times to help me out, and really appreciate the detail you’ve put into it. Thanks for the inspiration Richard! 10/10👌🏻

Great tutorial as usual mate, very informative. Timely also as I just received the move shoot move tracker today, can't wait to get out with it and put these tips into practice. Cheers
