Most mornings I take advantage of my husband sleeping in so I can watch your videos on the TV. One morning hubby came out and watched your entire episode and was hooked. He knows nothing about Lightroom or Photoshop but has appreciated the impact you videos has had not only on my editing but photos. As we travel around Australia he often suggests places to light paint. Hopefully once this huge weather systems departs our area we can get clear skies and no moon to do some. Thank you for the inspiration
Thanks for your very kind comments Debbie. I appreciate you and your husbands support.
It's just awesome

Never mind mate, I checked out your gear list, and ordered a set, they got pretty decent reviews and I've been needing a new set for a while now anyway. Thx again!
No worries at all mate.
Great video as always Richard. Australia must be awesome form taking pictures like that
Thanks a lot. Yes Australia is an awesome place ...!!!
Another episode from Godfather of nightscapes!! Brilliant image Richard l just love it, you have really made a fantastic tutorial for everyone without being too complex. I can't believe the next time l'll be seeing you will be in person, like rubbing shoulders with the stars lol! 😁
Wow, you're giving me a complex Leigh ... not sure about the Godfather thing .. makes me feel a little old ...!!! Really looking forward to meeting you next weekend.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Let me re-phrase that, no on second thoughts l'll just quit while l'm ahead!! No complex intended l promise 😉 It will be a pleasure to meet you.
Thanks for another super video. I mentioned before, that in europe we have very few old objects lying around - well last week I discovered two old mining machines, each 40 x12 m and 500 tons. One of the is potentially right for a milkyway shot, but this will only be possible next July! When I get it, I'll share it.
That's fantastic David, I'll be very keen to see that one when you get to it.
thank you for showing & sharing your process... takes the mystery out of these wonderful images. Must get Photo shop... Would love to make an old church like that into a HOME... : )
Thanks for watching, yes lots of these have been converted into homes.
nice
Brilliant as always. Thanks for taking the time to educate.

Thank you Richard for another great and informative video I'am very interested in the post processes of your beautiful images and this series is helping me move forward with my own photography
That's so good to hear Steve, thanks for watching.
The image was one of my favourites and I remember you shooting it, now to see the full story of how the image was pulled together in post and created the final image is marvellous. Great tips on how to light your foreground subject I’ll take forward with me, thanks Richard 👍👍
Always appreciate your encouragement Carl, thanks so much for watching.
Exactly what i thought! 👍
Very enlightening tutorial, intriguing how the smaller more subtle alterations can really change the how the end results is seen overall. Thanks for posting.
Really appreciate your insights Three-phase as always.
Excelente video, thank so much, a learn a lot!!
Thanks for watching Marco, really appreciated.
I just recently discovered your channel. It has been a tremendous help and I like the way you explain and show the steps in LR and PS. Thanks so much!
Thanks very much for watching James, really appreciated.
Hi Richard...a BRILLIANT tutorial...why didn't you show us the selection tool ages ago 😂😂😂 That's a great tip..I think i'll be watching this one a few times to get the know how!! Great stuff.
Thanks Carmel, to be honest I don't use it very much but it's a very widely used tool for many photoshop users.
I really appreciate your detailed instructions. I’ve been able to create some great nightscape images by following you videos. Thanks so much
That's fantastic Dave, really pleased you like it.
I really appreciate the editing tutorials. Fantastic stuff. Thank you.
Really pleased you like them Christopher .. thanks.
Fantastic work. I finally processed a series of photos I took on Nov 1. For the first time around, it worked very well, using your method. Thanks.
That's really good to hear Bret, thanks again for watching
Another great video. I’m going to go back over an old church image I did and reapply some of the masking techniques you used to hopefully improve the result. Thanks again Richard.👍
Really appreciate you watching Peter
Thanks once again Richard!
Really appreciate you watching Peter
Thanks for an informative tutorial, I love the old Church. I must admit every time I drive past an old church I stop and add it to the list, If its no longer in use as a church I make an effort to get back quick before it is turned into someones home.
Thanks a lot for watching Brett. Yes there are plenty around, many of them are in a state of disrepair.
This is so amazing 😱😱
Thanks very much for watching.
Thanks for this great video! One tip, you can create the mask of the church with tonal corrections in PS. Very easy, because the church is almost black - black conceal white reveal ;)
Thanks a lot Andreas, thanks so much for your insights.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Your channel is an absolute inspiration for me! Learned so much more from you :)
Enjoying your work man dude.
Really appreciate you watching mate, thanks so much.
Great stuff Richard. I really like your simple and intuitive PP workflow. Thank you for the generous sharing of your skills.
Really appreciate you watching Jayanath, thanks so much.
another goodin mate that was heavenly gee i look forward to your stuff always plenty of good tips cheers bobby j.
Good stuff Bob, really appreciate your support.
awesome!
Thanks Michael
Very enjoyable, shall have to dust off my "ROUND TO IT" thanks for sharing.👍
All the best..............Peter.
Good on you Peter, thanks so much for the comment.
👏😍👏😍👏😍👏😍👏 WoW 🤩
I’m starving for all this incredible information you’re giving so kindly. What a wonderful tutorial this is. You really changed my photography life since I’ve discovered your channel .... I now drink tea ☕️ when I’m out, shooting under the stars ✨ and Milky Way.
You’re the BEST!
Well I'm really pleased you've acquired a taste for Tea Carole …!!! Thanks as always for following my videos.
Hi Richard, Another great tutorial. I have seen you use layer opacity to adjust punchiness from other tutorials which is what I do, but I like the aspect of using the brush to spot treat versus adjusting the whole layer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Really pleased you like it my friend, thanks heaps for watching.
Another great video and tutorial. I can't get enough of these post production videos. They're excellent. Enjoyable to watch and packed with material that you can follow easily, understand readily and presented in such a way that you're inspired to have a go yourself. Your amazing tuition has opened up a new world of creative photography for me and I'm really enjoying it, so thanks a million for that. By the way, the image in this video is stunning, with the light and dark in the lighting matching the same in the Milky Way. Brilliant, and many thanks again, Richard.
Thanks so much for you very kind words of encouragement Simon, it means a lot.
Absolutely amazing and helpful. Can’t get enough 👏
Thanks very much for your kind words, really appreciated.
Hello Richard, I am editing your Stacking and Blending Edition step by step, to put it into practice as soon as possible, for me it is not easy, I do not master Photoshop so well, but I will try to do it, the final result was excellent, hug.
It always takes time to master these things Adilson, but it will come with practice.
This is a work of art Richard, you really are a huge artist .. Congratulations 👏👏👏.
You're very kind my friend, thanks for watching.
More fantastic content thank you for your time and effort
Really appreciate you taking the time to comment, thank you.
Thanks for providing the step-by-step tutorial. It was very helpful. Light painting can be tricky, depending on your subject matter and goals. At some sites, e.g. US National Parks, light painting can be prohibited. In those cases, I've switched to long exposure and/or stacked images. In some of those instances, I've found using my cell phone glow adequate - a bit of a work through in areas that may prohibited artificial light 😇. Of course, it always helps if no one else is around, including bears. Cheers.
Thanks so much for your comments Vince. I'm really glad there are no such restrictions here in Australia. I think the much smaller population in these areas is the reason. I rarely ever see anyone out there when I'm shooting.
Great tutorial sir, and an awesome image!
Really appreciate your support Jose
Super video Richard and I love the end result. I think you've nailed your aim of making these techniques accessible to viewers of the channel and I'm really looking forward to the star trails episode. Your enthusiasm is infectious and if I wasn't on the other side of the world I'd definitely be booking a place on one of your workshops! Thanks so much for all that you do :]
Thanks again Paul, I do really appreciate your support.
Thanks for this. I don't use Photoshop or Lightroom but it's still interesting and helpful.
Really appreciate you watching, thanks
These tips are going to help me a lot as I struggled with similar backgrounds
I hope it is very helpful Spence, thanks so much again for watching.
Your work is incredible. Is there a video that shows and explains the actual light painting? Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching Yul. See this video: th-cam.com/video/oDDjEG9FbxY/w-d-xo.html or this one: th-cam.com/video/uJOkz3llEsQ/w-d-xo.html
Richard, I don't know if you've seen the Lube Cube 2.0, I got mine today and its pretty cool. Regular Mode is 10 - 10% increments (10-100), Low Light Mode is 10 - 1% increments (1-10), a test in dark garage, I used f/1.4 iso 6400 10 sec @ 5 feet and it barely picked up light @ 1%. It can be a strobe slave and you can control multiple cubes with Bluetooth App on phone.
Hey John. I have a couple of the original lume cubes but I wasn't impressed by the colour temperature. I see that they've changed that for the better. Do you find the strobe slave works well or is the sensor hard to get in the right spot ..???
@@nightscapeimages.richard I have not used the strobe function yet, but it is supposed have sensors all the way around the case. I tested the Bluetooth last night and it has a range of about 30 feet and reconnects automatically when approaching it, so if its in a difficult area to access you only need to get within 30 feet. The color temp seem to be identical to the Aputure AL-M9.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Just to clarify my last post the temp is identical in my tests, The Lume Cube 2.0 with warm filter #4 that it came with and the Aputure AL-M9 using a 1/2 cto gel and the magnetic diffuser (not the mag cto that it comes with.)
@@john-okc450 Thanks John
Another truly excellent video, Thanks for Sharing . . . If I could clarify 1 thing please ?, when it comes to your Light Painting shots I presume you trigger the camera remotely (or delayed ?) as opposed to letting it run at a Set Interval automatically, to give yourself time to both get around and Know when the camera is On ?
From your inspiration / tips I've had a go at 2 images now . . . still a long way to go, but it is certainly addictive ! Unfortunately "dark skys" are along way off - but will take every opportunity I have from now on ! Thanks again.
Thanks so much for watching, really appreciated. I use the Yongnuo rf603ii to remotely trigger the shutter. This gives me time to get into position first.
Thanks!
Thank you Mario
Richard, great video, thank you. Your RAW painted images show an example of what I run into, how did you know you had enough light?, the lighted images were so DIM that it had to look black on the back of the camera. It's easy to either have it too dark or too hot. How do you tell when your in the field?
Thanks John. There is an element of trial and error. Just practice and you'll find the right formula. It isn't an exact science.
Great video thanks, does it matter what size or power of the light source you need to use ?
Thanks so much for watching. You don't need a bright light source. I use an LED Lenser P7.2 for most of my light painting and usually turn it down to the lower setting.
