Great tips! Don’t forget the 500 rule for Astro photography. 500/focal length=max time without star trailing. 15-20 seconds with a high ISO is my sweet spot. 60 seconds will make your stars soft.
@@AidinRobbins interesting. Never heard that before. In film industry we use terms "principle photography" and "b roll". But it makes sense to call A and B - especially for beginners. Much easier to understand the concept that way. Thank for that!
Love using slow shutter speed took one of my favourite photos of Niagara Falls - looked soo creamy and beautiful! Your videos are great, their really high quality keep creating!😁👍
As always this is incredible Aidin! I'm hoping to do more night long exposures like the one you did at that tower. Its so awesome just to see the night sky envisioned on pictures, as well as timelapses!
Very nice Video! You also get an interesting result if you combine several techniques, e.g. a long exposure from a waterfall where you can still see the stars, but there are very few moments where that works. (:
sheesh, the intro was smooth asf man you should be getting more views its so unfair, you literally make better content than peter McKinnon and all the top TH-camrs
@@AidinRobbins you will always have star trails at 60 seconds. just look up the rule of 500. you would need something like a 8mm lens to not have star trails at 60 seconds. 500 divided by your focal length is the max. exposure without getting trails. I typically decrease it even (20mm lens: 500/20 = 25 sec -> 20 sec).
I noticed that Aidin mentioned that he uses the Photopills app and I do as well. It is $10 USD in the app stores I believe, but it is a one time buy forever. They also have a site with a bunch of articles which I recommend checking out if you have the time. The reason I mention that is because one of the features the app has is calculating how long your shutter can be open without getting star trails. It is something they call spot stars. They will even calculate it for you if you need to print the image and make sure the stars are tack sharp. Calculating with the 500 rule is no longer effective according to them. The calculation includes camera sensor, crop mode, focal length, and aperture. For example, my full frame Z6 at 24mm and F4 can only be open for something like 12.57 seconds if i don't want star trails. The 500 rule says it can be open for almost double the time and still be fine. But if you go into LR or PS and pixel peep, you can definitely see a difference. Will you notice on a website or IG, probably not. All depends on what your threshold is for perfection. Hope this helps!
You are right. I just read one of his replies to another comment. He wanted to focus more on what can be achieved with long exposure, not necessarily the technical details on how to make it all happen. Also, from my personal experience, be careful with 500 and 300 rule. I would recommend the NPF rule. The Photopills app that he mentioned is fantastic for calculating this. I have been using the app for over a year and it has done wonders for me.
Theoretically speaking, the widest open you can be is the best for capturing stars. This allows you to keep your ISO lower. Or if you do bring up the ISO, you will capture a lot more than you would at f4 or f5.6. With that said, Aidin is right. Totally depends on the whole scene that you are trying to capture.
With the panning and shooting motion, how close do you feel you need to be to capture it just right? Also do you feel to get the most out of the effect you need to go left/right or up/down?
If you are shooting the stars with a 60 sec exposure, wouldn't that cause star trails? I usually find 20 sec is max when avoiding trails. Are you compositing the night shots?

Long exposures are some of my favorite types of shots to take. I absolutely love the look
7:35 is the best tip I've ever received. Thank you so much!
The A Roll looks dope.
Thanks!
* B roll
@@hanoifilms503 the main shot of me = the a-roll. Everything else is b-roll
@@AidinRobbins interesting. Never heard that before. In film industry we use terms "principle photography" and "b roll". But it makes sense to call A and B - especially for beginners. Much easier to understand the concept that way. Thank for that!
@@AidinRobbins so if you are filming a roll of film as the subject of your shot you can call it a roll a roll ;)
Everything in this video is so perfect.
Dude I couldn't say it often enough, the way you cut these videos is just insane 🤯

Love NC. Crabtree falls and the fire tower you went to are killer. Was it in Franklin?
very well broo
Thanks boss this was suuper helpful 🙏🏻
Glad to hear it!
Hey Adin, that's a nice video!
60s? how about camera noise , especialy on astro.... do you use ND filters on long during the day
Ayyy
rookie here, I struggle a lot with focusing a person when doing long exposure pictures, any tips for keeping the person fully focused?
So to get the stars at night, would you recommend a lens suitable for low light, or would my sigma lens work with a high ISO.
I saw ur video and Man I can't go away without giving compliments to ur pics. That's so fckn awesome. Wow.
Haha thank you!
Really like the slow pan images, if you shoot 60 second star shots, won't you have star trails?
Not at 60 seconds in my experience- bulb mode for an hour will do the trick though
@@AidinRobbins you will always have star trails at 60 seconds. just look up the rule of 500. you would need something like a 8mm lens to not have star trails at 60 seconds. 500 divided by your focal length is the max. exposure without getting trails.

Thank u
Just learn need to try as soon as possible thnku fr the video.
These tips are awesome man, only recently been delving into photography and I love the learning, thanks for these
Glad I could help out bro!
long time no see bro :D
Nice video and very good tips. You take very good photos. By the way, did you use any sort of filter when taking the 60-second photos?
If it is in day time, then yes. At night you can easily get 60 seconds with a low ISO and wide-ish aperture such as f5.6 - f8.
Very nice photography video what kind of paper print
Liked and subscribed 🤣. Great content!
Would you mind doing a tutorial on editing star photos and long exposure photos? I find editing the star and night photos quite hard. Thanks
@Aidin Robbins
You're sure about this 60s for astro?
You didn't mentioned about 500 or 300 rule not saying about stacking.
You are right. I just read one of his replies to another comment. He wanted to focus more on what can be achieved with long exposure, not necessarily the technical details on how to make it all happen.

Just started photographing the night sky. One factor you need for a good photo is patience lol
Facts haha. Set up, wait 60 secs, adjust, repeat
Post home photography ideas video
Haha....thanks Aidin I'll start photographing #bmxinnigeria scence with this new technic I just learnt#❤🙏🙏🙏🎥
Sick!
Are you using auto single shot focus or continuous focus? I presume the night shot was focused on the tower?
Manual for that shot- not enough light for auto haha
What is a good aperure to start with? 1,4? Or like 3,5?
Depends on the shot!
Theoretically speaking, the widest open you can be is the best for capturing stars. This allows you to keep your ISO lower. Or if you do bring up the ISO, you will capture a lot more than you would at f4 or f5.6. With that said, Aidin is right. Totally depends on the whole scene that you are trying to capture.

Enjoyed the video... heads up, the links aren't working for me, though.
If you are shooting the stars with a 60 sec exposure, wouldn't that cause star trails? I usually find 20 sec is max when avoiding trails. Are you compositing the night shots?
I've never had noticeable trails- maybe because I'm shooting wide? With a longer focal length I could see it being more of an issue
