Why?

Your shorts are some of the most useful on TH-cam, subscribed!

Which is butter

Or go to dxomark...lol what a waste of time.

bro this is the best thing i learnt all week and the fact that you are unknown makes me angry😭 keep it up dude youll go far!

Boring blue skies?! 😂

I would start with the tone curve, but adjust the black point and the white point. In the video, it seems as if at the left end of the diagram's X axis there are no pixels with that low X value. So sliding the black point horizontally right means you define a very dark grey as black. At the other end the same applies to white. By narrowing the raw value range you pull the entire image open and this looks like more contrast superficially. It also opens up gradation. Works only if the dynamic range in the subject is smaller than the camera's contrast envelope (dynamic range in one shot).

Floating panel needs to be docked on right hand panel empty space.

Expose to the right

Awesome 👏 What software or plugin would you recommend to denoise astro landscape photos?

Dude. For a long time I had this problem. Thank you so much for disclosing it !!🎉

Drats... good to know. Perhaps its worth doing both for prints and for social media. I have wondered this and why they compress the hell out of images. The "upload high res pictures" setting and using TIFFs seems to aid in the latter.

Thanks for a great overview. I will upgrade.

i dont think canon has it

don't just under expose. bracket

Does these cameras have auto mode like mobiles?

Cactuses were still distracting on both. I'd chop em down to get the perfect composition 😂

Just use panorama/photomerge

Waiting for AI cameras

I really dig your straight to the point videos and shorts.

I don’t bother with underexposing THAT much. Just a little so I can bring back the sky a bit. Raw already keeps a ton of highlight detail so I’d rather get cleaner shadows.

works great on faces too

Always the smaller youtubers provide the more helping content. Thanks!

Why

You can always cut down the cactus

Everytime I try to bring back the shadows in lightroom I just get noise in that area 😢

On my Nikon Z6 i set the metering to highlight priority and then -0.5ev when out and about in sunny weather. Clouds it still works but maybe +0.5ev

The opposite is true for color negative film interestingly

Get an A7R IV. Megapixels do matter

It's more like "expose for the sky"

Do you usually bracket your photos and then hdr merge or just use a single exposure?

Perfectly explained! Thanks!

Great tip! Love your videos!

Good advice,greetings from japan….

One of the downsides of digital, but hey, it’s still fun

He should say the name of the lens in the short, but at least he gave buttload of info in the description.

I have found that for the price the Viltrox 16mm 1.8 is a really good lens for doing northern light photography here in Alaska

You should only use manual focus when you are using a manual camera. And once you get used to using a manual camera, you should use it whenever you like. If you use an AF camera, by all means, use it, just make sure it is focusing on your subject and not the largest item in your frame. But now that my eyes are not as good as they once were, AF is a blessing ... if I can get a digital camera that will let me shoot manual.

great video mate. Super informative!

Why make a video about a lens and not even say what the lens is? Thumbs down no sub.

So better than the Sony 14mm f1.8 GM or the Sigma 14mm f1.4 DG DN Art? I think not. It may be good for the price but i would not say it’s the best lense for astrophotography.

The Rokinon 12mm f/2 was my first astro lens. It was a OK as an inexpensive "starter" lens. After a year I upgraded to the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4, which is only slightly more expensive, and is faster and has better IQ.

What's the lense called

You definitly need a tripod for this.

Does cs6 have auto aline?

Use f18 forget this ,ahh some photographers believe you cant go over f11 ,

Thanks Austin, I wish adobe would improve the tone curve tool in Lightroom and camera raw.

Super helpful :)

Yup - I miss the warping tool! The keystone tool can do it a bit - but not much control over it.
