      How to capture milky-way in a little light pollution? What's the proper setting?

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Book a plan ticket to a dark spot. It doesnt happy. That's why it's called light pollution unfortunately. Maybe try a light pollution filter. But it depends how bad your area is.

      Hi! Thank you for this video but I'm still confused.
      I'm so new to this I don't fully understand.
      Do we really need to buy an additional lens kit to get good results?
      I plan to photograph the night sky with xt3 as well as the northern lights along with us in the subject .
      Would that work?
      Also your links are down like the fuji best night lens link.

  • @1972Russianwolf
    @1972Russianwolf 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Just an FYI, The focus ring on that lens isn't mechanical. If you get your infinity focus during daytime, switch to manual focus, turn the camera off and remove the lens. you can then twist the focus ring all you want it won't effect the focus. When you get to your site, Attach lens, power on and you are ready to shoot.
    Your tape may only confuse you if you depend on it and the ring gets moved while in your bag. you would need to realign before powering the camera back on, or you will move your focus.
    The tape trick works wonderfully on lenses with mechanical focus rings (meaning they change the lens focus with or without power).

      Anything's is possible. Follow the settings I used on this video. Largest aperture F3.5, Shutter Speed of 20 seconds and ISO 6400. Then go out with a 40-60% moon and it will help you light up the foreground a little. Happy shooting!

  • @urbansoban2669
    @urbansoban2669 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great videos, Matt. This one especially, given that it is filmed in my beautiful country, Slovenia. Thanks for the lovely advice. I am now convinced the XT-3 is the camera (with the kit lens) for me. For video, what kind of darkness do you think this combo can take/at which settings without any extra lighting to avoid noise? Another thing - since the kit lens is not weather sealed, do you have any tips on how to protect it? All the best, Urban.

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad you enjoyed it! Firstly I find the fujifilm cameras workable at around 6400 ISO and plus the 18-55mm has great IS in the lens. I would have to say that most camera are weather sealed to some point. I would always use a free hair net that get from a hotel or home and just put that over the camera + lens when it rains. 100% free and all I have ever used when travelling. Just tuck it in the backpack somehow

      Joey Medici I would recommend you to get the Rokinon 12mm f2 instead. The 14mm is designed for full frame. The 12mm let‘s in twice the light and you can expose 4 seconds longer, which is crucial on a crop body. Got mine for 230€, which is an insane value too

    Nice one Matt and excited to hear you are coming to Scotland to film your series. Just hope the weather plays ball with you but you know the scenery on offer, so spectacular images await. When at Kilchurn Castle recently was out doing some astro but didnt quite get the lighting of the foreground and the castle nailed down correctly so wouldnt mind your thoughts on how best to achieve this. No worries if you want to include that in your tutorial. Will drop you an email ahead of your visit 👍

    Awesome video mate! I recently got a Nikon D3500 with the basic 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens. I've been wanting to do some astrophotography with a few mates in the foreground as subjects, and the Milky Way as the main part in the sky.
    What ISO and exposure time would you recommend? Should I go with the rule of 400 or 500? Thanks in advance :)

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks nate I am glad that youve enjoyed it and hopefully learnt something!
      I would using a second shutter speed at f3.5 at 18mm. Then, depending how much light was around from the moon an iso value of 6400.
      The longest shutter speed you can do is 18seconds before the stars move, thats why I suggest 15seconds then if its to bright reduce the ISO value :)
      Hope this helps, email me if you ever need further advice :)

    I enjoy your videos very much and find them very informative. I have a Fujifilm X-E1 mirrorless camera and a refractor telescope. We purchased an Astromania adaptor mount, and I want to start taking photos of the sun as well as other photos of the galaxy. Do you have any tips and tricks to be successful with this?

    Hey Matthew, great video! I have taken a few shots in the past with X-T3 and 16mm 1.4 with success. However I convinced myself last fall that I needed full frame, and the jury is out if that was a good decision. Currently I have a Nikon Z7 and 14-30f4 and 50 1.8 z lenses. Think I could use the f4 with success? The 50 may be too narrow field of view possibly.

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah anything is possible, espically with full frame and if you had enough light for the foreground, give it a shot. Head out shoot F/4 at 6400 ISO and see what happens :D Should be fine Nikon have amazing low light capabilities

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey mate, with the X-T3 line up they have it inbuilt as you can push the shutter speed right out which I love and just use a 2 or 10 second timer before that.

      No problem I was about to say its a super moon this weekend. Youll have to wait 7 to 10 days for less moon. I manually focus its best to do this during the day before you head out. Secondly I did use the same Shutter speed when I stood in the image :D

    Hi Matt, great video! I new to Fuji system and just got my XT-3. Plan to shot a Milky Way on Laowa 9mm. May I know how to set the camera to shot at 10s, 15,s 30s without a shutter release? I tried to set my camera at ISO6400, SS 500 & F2.8 and use the Fuji App, the remote just won't hold. Wonder what I need to do in the camera menu instead. Thanks.

      You will need to find the timer on the camera set that to a 2 second delay or 10 second delay. Thrn on the top dial set the mode to 'T' and adjust the shutter speed to around 25 seconds for the Laowa

    Bought x-t20 with the 18-55 kit lens a couple of years ago as my first ‘real’ camera and was told the lens was really good. Good to hear that confirmed. I took a some Milky Way shots out over the ocean here in Maine to avoid light as much as possible. Used PhotoPills to set up, just as you showed. Got pretty good results after post in LR. I tried to keep the ISO low to avoid noise, so I think the post compensated, but may have introduced its own noise. Otherwise I used your same settings. How much post processing do you do? How do you handle the ISO noise? You must have done on this image to finish, yes? Do you have tutorial on LR post processing? Thanks for the great video. Especially because it’s the lens I have.

    • @matthewstorerphotography
      @matthewstorerphotography  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Regarding noise I wish to do a series next year on how to help that. But I am also starting a secondary youtube channel to do more of this type of content. But I use Capture One for editing Fujifilm RAF files because they are handled so much better. I can give you a 30-day free trial to capture one. But more to come from editing the images this summer :D

      I've seen images of night photography with foreground illuminations and reflections on lakes etc but whenever I've done anything in the dark I've had to light paint it into the image so it's baffling me how people get a foreground and other subjects other than the milkyway etc!
