I try to find a way to use mine in a fun way everyday. I just bought my first go pro about a month ago. It’s the 10 hero black w/some mods. I literally have no idea what I’m doing. Lol I live where the world around me is beautiful and nearly unreal in all ways. Thank you for helping me learn how to use my new fun toy. 🥰🥳 ~Sheeara, Alaska
You should film walking videos! The Gopro is great for that :D I bought one and that's what i'm doing, i love it :)
that happiness you cant hide when talking and have seen your shot... is the best of the video. Been doing astrophotography with dslr camera but next trip i wont be able to carry that weight. Ill give this a try, thanks for the detailed tutorial!!
Thanks mate, its pretty impressive what can be achieved with such a small sensor.
I'm a day one GoPro user and still have my Gen 1 GP!
Currently have 3 GP-8 and not only use at least one of them, often more, Every day but every night of my life!
Love these rough though capturing devices.

Great video mate, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, thanks!
You make it so easy to follow 🙂 cheers very happy
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the information. Cant wait to try this coming weekend. Was curious if you spot lit the foreground quickly to get the light on the rock face.
In this video I think I did. You should try both though. One with light one without etc. good luck!
Great video mate! Please more gopro!
FINE! Alright then! :)
Awesome video. So detailed and a great help. please do more on the Gopro 9.
Thanks, will do!
This is the type of content I have been looking for. Just purchased my 1st GOPRO 9 and I love trying to get great photos from my mobile. I have an Android though so hope I can still get tips from your iPhone.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done mate, good one 👍🏼🇦🇺
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
G'day Shayne, have subscribed to your channel, Have just purchased a Gopro 8 black waiting for it to arrive, have been on TH-cam learning all I can, I am into Drone photography and want to add another dimension to my photography, I like the way you come across on your tutorials. Well done.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that. Very kind of you.
You are amazing! Congrats!
Cheers mate
You deserve 1 million subscribers
Thanks so much mate.
Great video mate!
The "phone on hold" music gets a bit distracting after about 6.5 minutes though
HAHAHA thanks mate. These are some of my older videos. I cringe a little when I watch them these days. The content is still 100% relevant though.
For a resident of So California, your terrain looks totally home. Only I envy your dark sky... Big time.
Similar climates too I think.
Inspiring
Fantastic channel! I record the sky with several cameras and just found my old GoPro Hero 3 and am exploring astrophotography with it but after seeing this video, I may have to go buy a new one! Keep up the great content and your explanations. I like the way you break it all down and you put the time stamps in the video for us to scroll to exactly what we want. Keep it up, you just got another subscriber :)
Very useful. Thanks for putting this together. New subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
@@ShayneMostyn My pleasure. Starting my own channel I've found great value on your videos. Keep it coming.
Very well made video. I like how you used splitscreen to show your phone.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching :)
Great tutorial, i need to get to grips with my hero 8 😎
You can do it! just follow these steps mate.
"The weather.........is shit....", love it 😀
Great video
HAHA well it was
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. I wanted to ask you, can you use ISO min/max 100 for this? Is it possible to bring out the light in post process with these settings?
Hi Shayne i love your videos and the way of use technics to capture pics. Some bingers thinks they need best gadgets to capture good pictures thats maybe wrong because practice and dedication is most important. In photography we need patience as well try and try and try. I have request please make series on Go Pro time lap and time wrap settings like what interval we need iso fps.So who have Go Pro maybe they do more with there gadgets. Hope so you understand what i mean to say. Good luck.
Thats a great idea thanks for sharing! Stay tuned mate.
Great sharing
Cheers mate
Nice video! thank you so much! very helpful! by the way, is it possible to do this with another action cam such as Yi 4k or SJCam for example?
Thank you! I see no reason why not, if they have manual settings like this one
This is pretty well good actually for a small Action camera with small sensor,All you need is only a skill,Best setting and Pro in editing the picture that you capture👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate
İts very good 🥇🥇🥇🥇
How do you not have more followers? Great video and very helpful!
Thanks so much. More followers will come, it’s a pretty new channel. Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Well presented for dummy photographers like me. Hopefully now I can get some decent shots on my outback trip coming up. Cheers Shayne.
Cheers mate, get out there and enjoy it 👍👍
you all prolly dont care but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Ralph Jagger Instablaster :)
@Grant Jesus I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Grant Jesus It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
great video shayne thanks. How do you get around star trailing if the image is 30 s?
Thanks mate, you dont get about it. It has star trails. They are very small, but they are there.
Just subbed, excellent content
Thanks mate, welcome aboard 👍
(1:56) "It's a bee's dick of difference" A had to play it back a few times to know thats what I was hearing. So good. I was roaring and I can't wait to launch that one someday. Thanks for the great video. Very helpful. I use my Gopro every day.
Good stuff if you own a cell phone or I-pad, I would love to take pictures like that with my hero 8 but Australia is a long way off!
Dont need to be here to take these mate. Just need some dark skies.
Shayne is there a fav setting setup to photograph the moon? Thank you!! My question is because next March 7th there’ll be a full moon.
Loved that location. Had a feeling Ive been the while travelling between Adelaide and Alice.. Somewhere after Peterborough ?? Thanks
Its a great spot, lots of the area for hundreds of km around looks like this. Its not between Adelaide and Alice though, its between Swan Hill and Echuca. Thanks for watching!
Question if you need to put another battery in does the camera go back ton default settings?
Very good 👍
Thank you
i like,.. 👍😊👍
Thank you
This video is amazing! I have a GoPro and am planning to propose to my partner in Yosemite under the stars. I’m hoping to use it to photograph us with myself on one knee in the foreground, stars in the sky above us. Do you have any tips for framing and lighting when setting up for the shot? Don’t worry, she can’t see my TH-cam account so it’ll be a surprise!
Great video to watch and that's one great shot of milky way with your gopro! Gopro and smartphone are so good for astrophotography these days. I own the Pixel 4 smartphone and it's fantastic but I've not tested it due to the covid-19 pandemic. I was planning to travel to the Highlands of Scotland as being I wanted to try it out because the highlands have lots of areas where it's so dark like isle of Skye and magnifficent Glencoe. Even out side fort william. I recently bought Gopro hero 7 black and great little action camera. I use stellarium on phone. How good will gopro hero 7 will be compared to gopro 8? I like lightroom mobile. Does it matter if you use any micro sd card? I'm going to try this when pandemic ends to make my own shots and time lapse footage. I own Hauwei p20pro smartphone for astrophotography. I loved how you used the rock in image as it makes the image look better.
Thanks for the tips and snapseed tutorial which I found very useful!!!
Gday mate, thanks for the comment. The 7vs8. I havent used the 7 to be honest. I was impressed with the 8 although the hot pixels take some getting used to. Im not sure if the 7 suffers from that. The 9 is incredible though. Almost zero hot pixels and seems like more dynamic range.
Hola , aparecen pixeles rojos en mis fotos nocturnas , tiene solución?
Están hechas con la 8 black
You should put the results on your Insta! Because the results were spectacular!
Thanks! It’s certainly something worth doing.
Can I do this with the GoPro hero 7? The 8-9 were out my price range . I hope I can that’ll be awesome those pictures look soooo dam nice
Hmm, Im not sure mate sorry. Does the 7 have manual photo mode? If so, then I would say yes.
Translation from Australian to American: “Torch” = “Flashlight”. You also get bonus points for bringing the term “Galactic Core” into your tutorial…
HAHA I tend to say both in most videos, torches and flashlights. Mobile phones and cell phones etc. Gets confusing sometimes.
Did u stack the photos or was it just a single exposure photo? Also which gopro do you have?
Single exposure mate. This was with the hero 8.
H!
Can I do it with hero5? I'm planning to buy hero5, since I can't afford hero9 yet.
Can I do it?
Pls. Reply.. thx
Nice video btw
Thank you for the tips! Can you share settings for taking videos in the dark please?
Absolutely! This one is on my list for the new milky way season. Thanks for watching!
@@ShayneMostyn do you also remove some graininess in editing?
@@Loiswomgawesome correct
@@ShayneMostyn what program do you use?
@@Loiswomgawesome Snapseed or Lightroom will do it. Lightroom does it better.
What go pro do you use? Would this work with my go pro 360?
Mine is a 8 and a 9. I can see no reason for it not to work on the 360 with the same settings.
The quik app doesnt give you the raw (.gpr) file. If you use the app to export, you are working on the .jpg that the GoPro created. In order to access the .gpr file, you need to fetch it directly from the card.
I am not sure if snapseed supports .gpr file. Lightroom does support it.
thanks a lot , that makes sens now , was wondering about this
Thank you so much for the detailed video! Amazing results, I’ll try it out tonight with my GoPro :) Have a great day!
Thanks very much for the comment. Good luck.
How did it go
How did it go
@@satvikbahuguna6940 It worked amazing, best shots I took so far with my GoPro at night :)
@@pauline7968 you should post your time-lapse on your channel:)
try it somehow, I recently bought hero 9 :)
Excellent! You wont be disapointed.
Good evening, do you get any star trail on that photo? Here in Portugal even 15sec already the subject star has moved.
That’s interesting. The GP has an equivalent focal length of 16mm so the 500 rule should let it shoot for 30 seconds. Are you setting it up with a narrower zoom in the menu?
Shayne Mostyn - Mobile Photography thank you for the reply. I understand now. I'm using actually an old Pentax K5 with a 300mm zoom lense so I was getting the trail. Now I changed to 18mm and it's almost perfect. Thanks and 2021 is a good year for all so we can go out freely to use our cameras.
Whats with the purple blur on the left side of the image, and how do we get rid of that in our photos? I've been having issues with my hero 8 doing the same thing.
I suspect its just the way the camera handles the ISO.
Can you actually see the milky way as well as it shows in the picture with the naked eye? Or is that just the camera picking up the colors/details of the milky way? Where i live i can sometimes see the milky way if there is no moon and no clouds, but even then, the start are just slightly more clustered than the rest of the sky. I have heard that you can see more stars depending whether you live in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere, is this true? Does time of year affect the amount of stars seen? Thanks so much!
Gday mate, you can see parts of it with the naked eye. Not the orange gas "cloud" but the line of stars. Has nothing to do with northern vs southern hemisphere that I am aware of. Has everything to do with the amount of light pollution around. The time of year affects where stars will be, not so much if you can see them more. For example, the galactic core is seen here (Australia) between March and November.
@@ShayneMostyn thanks so much, you have been a ton of help. Really appreciate it.
Hi! Many thanks for this great video. I tried to replicate this with my GoPro 11. However, whenever I take a photo night lapse, the exposure of the resulting photos is much (!) lower than what I set. For example, I set a shutter of 30s with an interval of 60s, but the resulting photos only have 1/3s exposure time (I checked it in Lightroom). All other modes work fine, I can for example shoot a night photo (not timelapse) with 30s exposrue without problems. Can you maybe try/confirm this on your GoPro 11, if you have one? I would like to know if it's a general bug or specific to my camera. Many thanks in advance!
I'm gonna check this on mine. I can take a good looking photo but a night lapse just turns out dark. It's set to 30sec but I will check that it actually is 30 sec.
Informaive video but would have been nice to see the finished product, full screen, at the end 😮
Thanks mate, its one of my earlier videos this one. I now do exactly what you mentioned. I will redo this one later this year. Thanks for watching mate.
Awesome!
Did you use a small light behind the GoPro for the shot or was it in total darkness?
I used a light to “paint” the rock. It’s on for only about 2-3 seconds.
H! Sr. !
Can I do it with hero5? I'm planning to buy hero5, since I can't afford hero9 yet.
Can I do it?
Pls. Reply.. thx
Nice video btw
Im really not sure sorry, I dont have one to test. But if you can change the settings manually, then possibly yes.
Hi can this be done with a GoPro 7
Night Lapses tho?
Is there a free alternative for PhotoPills?
There is a program you can use, but doesnt have the augmented reality. I used to use it prior to PhotoPills stellarium.org/
Do you leave white balance at 5000k?
Personal choice mate. It will only effect the colour.
I have hero 5 black and there is no night mode
Nice video... but just a question : what language do you speak ?
English....
@@ShayneMostyn I can hardly understand a half of your speech: which accent ? Scottish?Australian? Southafrican? Kiwi ? I'm just curious about that.
Hero9 sensor alot less hotpixels than the older models.
the weather outside.... “is shit” 😂😂😂 I miss Australia
We get our fair share too :)
Same like me mate i have a dslr,It very hard to capture Night landscape at here in my country because its too hazy at night even my hometown less light polution.
The GoPro is nice and I use two Hero10s to get footage for my bicycle-touring videos now. But I do not see any relevance for star-shots. On a tour or outing where I take the GoPro for its compact versatility, I will never be able to capture such night star shots, as the gear needed is an encumbrance, and I rarely have the time for it. For planned star-shooting I would be taking the car and always aim to get much better quality images by taking my DSLR, suitable lenses, a sturdy tripod AND torches to light up any foreground components. The GoPro simply does not compare, and it loses a lot of detail in any low-light parts of the image; ie. lots of graininess.
At around the 7 minute mark, does anyone else see the giants face in the rocks behind him
Nice vid but you didn’t show how to light up the rock when taking the photo. I’m not good at editing its too complicated can you show a more simplified edit that still looks good on astrophotography photos. Thank you
Plz give this settings🥺
I tell you the settings in the video mate
Welp... Time to sell my wife angle lens and just buy a GoPro :p
how to shoot cool photos
step 1 live in a cool place where cool things appens
step 2 took photos
Dont discount where ever it is you live. I could ask most locals where I live about what to photograph and most would tell me there isnt anything here. You just need to find something that others would find interesting.
@@ShayneMostyn yeah bro just joking i love where i live!!
