GREAT stuff Dave! Thinking I should have taken more time to research my Monument Valley trip (I regularly use all of the tools mentioned) Friday night/Saturday morning.
Alas, I still came away with some decent images, despite Mother Nature not cooperating. :)

[@AnetteMossbacher]

Dave Morrow will check it out when I have a bit more time at my hands :))

[@DaveMorrow]

Pete Miller thanks man! It's all good, sometimes fun to go out without researching at all. I do it often;) Also good to have the knowledge required to plan if you deem it necessary.
Cheers!

[@DaveMorrow]

Anette Mossbacher cool! Thanks for looking

[@PeteMiller]

Dave Morrow Definitely! I probably plan more than I should, but have been embracing "serendipity" more of late. 😊

Great tutorial. I was familiar with luminosity masks but unclear as out exactly how I would incorporate them into my work flow. Your tutorial helped me to find my way. Thanks again and good job.

Thank you for this video. I currently live in Germany and hadn't heard of the website blue marble before.

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome! Enjoy

[@Zhorellski]

Milky Way is only visible certain time of the night and months of the year?

[@DaveMorrow]

Visibility is location ( lat / long ) & time ( of day and of year ) dependent.

[@luciamaresca3693]
