Dude, amazing channel. I'm learning so much. One tip for you would be that you can use alt+right click to change your brush size!! Way faster than clicking on the brush tool up top.
I may be totally missing something here (I don't think I heard you explain why?). But why does purely stopping down your lens cause the foreground subject to automatically sharpen if you're focussed to infinity beyond that focal point Mike? Keep up the great vids
Adam Leonards because narrowing the aperture increases the DOF. So the foreground drops in the « in focus » area. At 20 mm f:1.8 on a FF, when focusing at infinity the closest "in focus" point is around 7.5 m. At f:5.6 it drops to 2.35 m.
Yes, you can use the clone tool in photoshop or in lightroom to remove them. Although the clone tool is much better in photoshop. If you dont have photoshop you can use Affinity.
I'm a photographer of the Celebrity Stars, now interested in the Celestial Stars. Any links to the software you mentioned at the beginning. I need Mac compatible software.

Thanks for watching and the tip!
I never get bored watching your videos Mike.
Calm, clear and concise. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Changing the aperture instead of refocusing is a really good tip! Thanks!
Awesome dude, thanks! Did not realize you could stack foregrounds like that in PS.
Nice picture. Is it your tripod shadow we see on the foreground?
Great tutorial Michael, thanks for sharing (grats on 30k subs!)
Thank you very much!
Nice job Mike!
Seems we frequent the same areas, lol. False cape state park is a cool place to camp. I'm in central NC.
Excellent video mike 👍
excellent video! are the stacked driftwood shots all the same exposure settings
? cant wait to try that process for removing noise
Kare Have yes you want to keep them all the same.

As I am learning and sometimes am a slow learner.....is there a way to remove the tripod shadows on the driftwood? Thanks.

You may want to use luminosity sélections th-cam.com/video/QZxkEXEWV2Q/w-d-xo.html
Or you can use frenquency separation th-cam.com/video/sJi6fvV1Bh8/w-d-xo.html

I found Starry Sky Stacker & StarryLandscapeStacker as a bundle on the Mac App Store. Any others out there to be aware of?
@@rjc2512 sequator is free and in my opinion better than starry
