Sony Cinematic 4K Astro Timelapse - Sony a7siii - 2022 Astrophotography PreviewColorado - May, 2022
🎉Glorious beauty from our HEAVENLY FATHER!
Stunning! Absolutely breathtaking. I cannot understand why this hasn't got a million views.
That’s incredibly kind of you to say - thank you for that!
You are the most underrated videographer on TH-cam. I’m glad I got in for the under 500 subs club. I’m not sure what your plans are but I’m in for the long run. New to the hobby, waiting on my short tube 80 to arrive.
Incredibly kind of you to say - thank you so much! I know that the "how-to's" and gear reviews get a lot of likes and comments, I just like being out under the stars and the camera can capture such amazing things.
excellent travail👍
@@ChristianSegonne Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Very pretty. This would make beautiful wall hangings.
Thank you for the kind words - definitely some of my favorite work!
Bro created masterpiece and left the chat🔥
Really appreciate that - check out my channel for more
how is this place even real....absolutely insane....
I’m really fortunate to live in Colorado and can access the Rocky Mountains without too much difficulty. There are still places with only small populations and that really helps out.
I absolutely adore these views, you can see the earth moving, I would absolutely love a huge project of a singular location, but I'm extremely grateful that you have provided anything at all! Keep it up!
Truly some of my favorite nights are these nights, I just can’t get out enough.
You can clearly see the stars move,while the earth stays still.or we would all be dead.peace.
My eyes were saying wow well thanks to giving your masterpiece here love from india
Really appreciate that - thank you!
Spectacular, Greetings from Michigan my friend...
Really appreciate that - thank you!
As a veteran(over thirty years) of photography, I recently have been using Some digital formats. I'm impressed & becoming obsessed. Recently purchased Fuji X-T5. Haven't used as much as the Nikon F6 or my daily use rolliflex, as digital seems...intimidating. But I am fascinated by timelapse photography. And most of my customers, are boxing-up their film for digital.
Time lapse has easily become one of my favorite aspects of photography. I wasn’t able to justify purchasing a film camera as a young parent so never experienced the enjoyment of producing and developing those images, just basic point and shoot snapshots. Today’s digital cameras are incredible in their abilities - i feel so fortunate to be able to explore it now.
Photography used to be my hobby as well.....sunsets, buildings, close up of flowers and sport action at karate competitions. The developer upgraded their equipment and could print poster size on canvas.....major event! Then they develop and gave a CD with the photos with it. Then digital came along and I was not impressed - for me the challange lay in the filters, playing with the zoom, doing black/white, sepia, night shots of holiday towns - it was against my "screwpills" 😂just take a picture and turn it artwork with a computer programme. Rebel that I am I told my wife we can go digital once there were cameras 10MB or more. Got to admit I was clueless. Eventually we got one and the developers did away with film development. I would ask for a 200 film and the dude behind the counter did not know what I was talking about. My hobby came to an end. Some time ago I discovered their is a proffesional photographer who stocked and develop film. Found my camera in my den, some sentimental emotions but the wind up was a bit stiff. Opened it and walla....there was a partly used Agfa film in which means like 18÷ years. Bro....I really felt silly and is still trying to get my guts together and take it for development.....which will be if I can find money to afford it. All this nonsense being said....the timelapse photography like this is very special. I always wonder if we will see the creation like this from Heaven. God bless.
Breathtaking footage.
At 1:43 the sun is not setting. Is that because of the midnight sun.
Was the footage taken in Norway ?
That’s actually a town to the southeast of where I was shooting. All the images in this clip are from Colorado.
And, thank you for the kind words!
Wow. Thank you Matt Landon
Thank you! Really appreciate that!
Really great captures and processing! Very beautiful!
I really appreciate that - editing can be so problematic, I really try to keep it to a minimum. Thank you for the feedback!
Your camera very good
Thank you!
It's amazing that your astro timelapse movies are naturally developed.
That really is the beauty of a time lapse, especially at night. The longer shutter allows for a better motion blur, and with the longer shutter more time gets to pass by - truly one of my favorites to capture.
Excellent video I love😍
Stunning
Thank you Sabina! Thank you for following!
Looks amazing Matt!
Thank you, Baris! I really love these nights out, they just have so much beauty.

Now that alot of work, time ,effort you have put on.now that's what I call a good content 👌 keep it up
Really appreciate that! Yeah there have been a bunch of restless nights to get this - I think I finally have a handle on what it takes to get quality footage now. Thank you for the kind words!
very nice! I hope you do more!
Thank you! I’ve definitely gotten a few good clips this summer and plan to shoot a few more!
Awesome. Love it.
Thank you! I have really enjoyed what I’ve been out for so far!
has been said before but hasnt been said enough - wow
Really, really appreciate that - thank you so much!
Красота! 😮
Wow...
Thank you!
Hermoso 💖 espectacular 😮
🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful shots g, such a good camera for night lapses. I only sometimes wish it was 24 mp so i could do decent sized prints of my milkyway shots. I'm curious, what kelvin do you usually shoot at?
Thank you so much! I bought the a7siii specifically for the smaller files so I could shot longer time lapse more often. The a7siii has such great files. That said, I really think the A7iii is a wonderful camera. I think would have been better off just keeping that and dedicating it to astrophotography. The a7iii actually handled the cold better and was more efficient with the battery. But I’ll keep the a7siii and take advantage of Lightroom’s ability to enhance the file in post if I need a bigger print.
I love your work man, can I have some tips for nightlapse in the middle of a city?
I really appreciate that - thank you! I definitely struggle with urban lighting, that’s why I don’t have any good examples. There’s too much flickering and such a wide variety of color temperature, I think the better clips are the shorter ones, and generally on a slider or rotator and I just don’t have the patience for setting everything up like that.
Awesome timeless capture. The cam is top quality for sure. I have the A7S ,will try your settings with the old Minolta 24mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4 lens. With the f/2.8 lens, what settings do I use?
Thank you so much! I really never shoot over ISO 6400. I’m sure you could shoot at 12800. A friend swears by 800 and then just raises exposure in post using Lightroom. I’m not that brave but I think you can confidently shoot at 6400 regardless. The 2.8 will come out darker, but you can adjust in post easily.
Hi Matt, its EyECatcherYT here, I have a small youtube channel that I try to upload everything that catches my attention. I love your color grading, you make it look natural and not overly done. I'm slightly color blind so my Milkyway Galaxy sometimes look overly colored. Great work. Hope I can learn some of your work-flow with camera settings and editing.
Incredibly kind of you - thank you so much! Just keep going out, that's really all that matters. Best of luck in 2023!
Awesome. I tried Mlky way photo recently (since then youtube is recommending videos like this) and I expected that Milky way can be photographed basically from April or May to September and then it's too low and light pollution ruins it. Maybe lower air humidity on clear winter days and/or being above temperature inversion layer helps.
Definitely! You’re correct, though the core can be visible as early as February here. And yes, low humidity is so much better, and smoke from recent fires made things very challenging.
Wow, what incredible content! Here's a question. Did you stack several photos to get this look (I imagine you did) or is this a single shot? And what are your EXIF's?
Thank you! Yep, everything is multiple images; for the time lapse they range from 240 images to 360, depending on the length of the clip, and even the single still images are a stack of 15 to 20 to reduce noise.
ISO is usually set at 6400, though some swear by the cameras ability to be ISO invariant. I understand it, but don’t subscribe to the technique personally. Shutter speed is always dependent on focal length - 24mm gets 10 seconds, 20mm gets 13 seconds, 14mm gets 15 seconds, I prefer the “near pinpoint” approach rather than the 500 rule, and aperture is always the widest, preferably F/1.4, but F/1.8 if that’s the lens maximum. I know a lot of photographers use their F/2.8 lenses, but the difference in F/1.8 and F/2.8 is pretty dramatic, especially when out in the field at night trying to make your composition b
Очень круто!!
great work congratulations👍🏻👍🏻did you use my s&q mode for timelapse? or did you make it from raw photos
Thank you - I really appreciate that! It’s a RAW workflow. Definitely time intensive but I really prefer the results this way.
@@alma175w There is something I don't understand. You took 10 second photos. but 1 second very very fast passing star transitions were like normal video shooting. I'm having trouble understanding this 🙂
@@nadirtascimusicworks3367 To create motion, you need 24 frames every second, that’s how our eye perceives movement. For a time lapse, each moving clip is made up of about 720 images. It takes 240 images to make a ten second clip. Since each clip is 30 seconds long, it takes 720 images.
beautiful work!!! what would you say to buying a7sii for milkyway photography instead of making videos. ps: got a star tracker if that info helps, also comparing with sony a7iii?
Thank you! This camera will definitely shoot beautiful still image, especially if on a tracker. I specifically bought it for the smaller files - shooting and editing 1,000 or so files is challenging enough, I don’t need larger files to make it any more difficult. That said, the majority of my stills, usually stacking 20 or so images is with the a7iii. It’s still such a great camera.
Man The world without Light Pollution Would be better. I have never Really experienced this. Like i saw the Milky way but Very dime almost Not visible Hopfully i Get my dream Come true in the future
It always amazes me - definitely worth the effort when the opportunity comes up!
I live in the Maine and Loire district of France. We have light pollution (from cities 40km and 70km away) but not so bad.
There is a disused railway line that drops into a valley where I go for Astrophotography. I count myself very lucky to live here when I hear of people not being able to see the stars. Here, on a good night, the Milky Way will cast shadows.
If you get a chance to go to a place with truly dark skies, do go. It will take your breath away.
BTW You may already know but there are 'dark sky' maps available on the internet.
@@PhilJonesIII Exactly - lots of apps can point us in the right direction. There are a couple abandoned railroads near where i frequently photograph the stars, I really need to explore them more$
Milky way always give me a weird feeling. I am used to living in earth and thinking it is the whole world. But milky way reminds me of my lifetime is just a tiny piece of time in a tiny place coresponding to the whole universe. There are still too many things for human to explore.
It’s always so humbling to sit underneath it for a night, I can never see it enough
Please share the camera settings
The setting are always posted in the description.
Hey Matt, Loved the video great work! I make soundtracks from my bedroom I would love to use this video for one of my soundtracks. Can I use it? and of course you will credited.
What framerate have you used in rendering the timelapse? 30/25?
23.976, it usually rounds to 24fps
Did you use remote timelapse or setting in camera
I use the built-in intervalometer no that Sony has it - its really helpful.
How did you manage to keep the camera good in such cold conditions
The newer Sony battery is much better than the previous generation, so that is a big help. Though sometimes I revert to an external battery, which really makes a difference. Also I’m usually with or near the cameras throughout the entire shoot, so constantly checking up on them. If it is really windy, I set them closer to a sheltered position behind a tree or in a natural embankment or sit directly behind it. Lastly I’ll cover it with a plastic bag or microfiber cloth to keep it dry. There are a couple of insulated covers that look really helpful but haven’t bought one but always think I should.
May I ask whoch Iso and whitebalance you used? Also how do you not get overlighting on the lamps and lights on lens. It always brightens the image a lot for me (i am using the a6400 kit Lens)
Yes, I typically shoot at ISO 6400 for all my astrophotography, even the time lapse. I set the white-balance to daylight so that it is consistent and locked in, then adjust in post by usually lower the temperature and adding magenta.
I’m not sure what you mean by the second question - are you taking about glare from other light sources?
couldn't find the music.
It's in the TH-cam creator tab.
why the side borders 🥲
because I'm not good at editing
