Light Painting How I do it - Tasmania Astro Road Trip Pt 5
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2023
- I simply love finding old ruins out in a clear space, and that's exactly what I discovered as I continued my tour around the wonderful Tasmanian landscape.
This subject was perfect for light painting, but as well as that I discovered another great subject to shoot.
I hope you enjoy the adventure.

Awesome as always Richard!
Really enjoy your enthusiasm when you find these hidden gems.
Again thanks for sharing your passion and skill for these photos!
Really enjoy the journey!
I very much appreciate your support Calvin, means a lot.
Loved the old farm equipment, beautiful skies, perfect exposure.
Thanks so much for watching Greg
Wonderful, I bet the owner of the property was stoked with those, another fantastic video.
Yes it was a wonderful location Rob.
Thank you Richard, beautiful trip and fantastic photos, have a good trip
I'm glad you liked it Mario
It never ceases to amaze me how you can visualise an image, set it up and light paint it to get such fabulous results. Obviously you have been doing this for years Richard and the resulting images are incredible. Love watching an artist at work 👌Playing catch up at the moment as I’m off to Iceland in a few weeks and things are kicking off there Volcanically with thousands of Earthquakes so plans are a bit fluid. No Milky Way or Northern Lights possibilities but Volcanoes are high on the agenda 🤞🌋📷
Thanks again for watching Garry. Wow that trip to Iceland will be epic. All the very best.
Another terrific video Richard, your habbit of explaining exactly what and why your doing it is a winning formula for learners and experienced alike, its so easy to forget things and your drumming it into us and making it easier for us whenever we get out there to remember what to do, things are becoming second nature now for me, so all thanks to you....looking forward to the next vid
Thanks as always for your great encouraging comments Nick. Really appreciated.
Something about the old equipment shot... very amazing work! Well done
Yes I must admit, I love that one as well.
Richard!!!!! Such a great video as always, love em alot..🔥
I very much appreciate you watching.
Another great video, and a few more classic compositions that we all love to see and watch you do. This is an excellent road trip and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for everything you do, Richard.
Thanks so much for your great support as always Simon.
You're a magician Richard......to " capture " images as you do....the way you fully explain what you're doing & why.....so then the MAGIC can be recorded.......BRILLIANT !
I very much appreciate your encouragement my friend. Thanks so much.
@@nightscapeimages.richard
Thankyou Richard....just can't get enough of your video blogs & masterful photography ! Just wondering what phone app you use to " predict " the Milky Way " rising ....?
@@paulychannel7914 While on location I use Photopills on the phone. When planning at home I prefer Stellarium for desktop.
@@nightscapeimages.richard
Thanks Richard, really appreciate that !
PS in May I went to Broome to see the "Staircase to the Moon" & was literally blown away by the natural beauty there... Have you been ... ? If not I can highly recommend it ( not just for the staircase experience ) but all of the other amazing photo opportunity locations.....Cheers!
@@paulychannel7914 No I've never been to Broome but it looks amazing.
Another great result and a lucky find on your road trip Richard. The old building came up really well under the Milky Way Galaxy. I agree with you on the licorice bullets.... I can't stop eating them once the packet is open! 👌😎😊
Thanks heaps Geoff. Yes it's a good thing they have a re-sealable top on the packet.
What a find Richard how could anyone deny your enthusiasm, your excitement shone as much as the Milky Way in this splendid film !
You're very kind Carl. Thanks heaps for watching.
Think I can now handle you not posting for weeks if your gunna bring us these awsum new adventures keep them up
Haha, yes I hope it was worth the wait.
Just amazing as always. That hot tea always look so good 😊❤
Haha, yes it is every bit as good as it looks my friend ..!!!!
Always always love your vids mate, make me want to out shooting. Great inspiration
I'm really pleased to hear that, thanks for your support.
Great job Richard, love your work and excitement.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it David.
Great video Mr Richard. Still watching the video, but have to press a like and post comment . Always been enjoying your videos and tutorials. Thank you again!!!
You're always welcome Milorad. Thanks so much for your support.
Hi Richard how awsum to get lots of new subjects too shoot 🔫 and that the milky 🌌 way was in the right spot for you
Yes I was very happy
What a gem to find, well done and yes always worth the effort. As always I love the 35 🥰 Thanks for sharing as always :)
Thanks again for your kind words Alan.
Stunning Richard 👍 the machinery was the winner for me
Yes I must admit, those old machines really get me in too Brian.
Great work once again Richard. I love your videos! Can't go wrong with a nice cup of tea & some chocolate bullets 😋
Yes I totally agree. Especially on a cold night out there.
I love how excited you get when you find a hidden gem, that’s a perfect subject for you to shoot. Love these photos. Looking forward to what’s coming in the next episode 🙂
Yes I do get a bit carried away Julie . .but these spots are hard to find.
Terrific again Richard,with i could have a 1/4 of your Enthusiasm to get me going
Thanks heaps Chris. I must admit I was pretty tired after this one.
Thank you again Richard. I'm sorting locations to try out your methods and looking forward to it. Cheers.
Thanks so much for watching Adi
G'day Richard. Another very enjoyable episode. Thanks mate.
Good on you John, thanks so much for watching.
I liked your video Richard, and above all those captures of the hidden machine are spectacular.
Thank you so much Javier
Beautiful images Richard. A pleasure to watch you work and produce those stunning images.
That's very kind of you Tony. Thanks for watching.
A couple of great finds here Richard - the old machine came out really well and I do like your image of the building @ 13:35 with the lights on! Always a bonus when you show us a bit of your light painting 👍
I always appreciate you watching and leaving a comment Paul, thanks heaps.
Stunning images Richard, your light painting is amazing. I always pick up something from your videos. Thank you 👍
I'm pleased you enjoyed it Dennis, thank you.
Loved the images in particular the old machinery, it has to be one of your best just beautiful Richard.
Thanks as always for watching Les
Love the 35mm tracked-what a gem of a spot
Yes I love using 35mm if I can. It's a wonderful location for sure.
Your Tasmania trip seems to get better and better! Can't beat an abandoned building or rusty object under the milky way 👌
Yes it's amazing what lies hidden away in Tasmania my friend.
Ohhh those looked amazing…what a great find in that location! 📸😎
Yes I was pleased to find this spot Jason
You have a way of making junk look beautiful . Liking the 35mm .
I always try to do that Bruce. Thank you.
Beautiful old building and so spectacular photos all.arround..What a blessing!! Also your video camara capture another meteor o shooting star at 8:13/ 8:15 of the video when you were back of the old building. Another amazing video from the best astrophotography channel. Thank you so much!
As always I very much appreciate your support Luis.
Hi Richard, I was really interested to see how the old building came out. In daylight, it didn't look too interesting but the final pic was terrific. It's amazing how the low light and milkyway background really show off the building. The second shot was obviously oing to be great. I am glad to see you are still having fun on Tas.
Thanks heaps. Yes often these old subjects really come alive after dark.
beautiful shots, Richard. That was a nice little gold mine you found.
Take care, be safe.
Thanks as always Jeff. Yes it's always good to find added extras on these properties.
What a gem of a find! Will be riding that high for days 😊. Amazing imagery as always Richard 👍
Thanks heaps Dominic. Yes it was a super busy night, but very enjoyable.
WOW!! GREAT location and, as always, fantasic images!
Thanks so much for tuning in Gary
Once again great video Richard, clear skies 🖖
Thanks as always Gavin
Love the message here Richard. I recently asked for permission to shoot an old farmhouse and got the same response, in fact they were super keen for a print. Now just waiting for the right conditions to get back there to shoot it 👍🙄
Yes that''s what I do also. People really appreciate it.
Great find. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for watching Robert.
It is fantastic to see that the stars still get you to the core, although you saw the milkyway in so many shootings during the years. It shows that this art and the stars itself are something so wonderful and inspiring for the whole life. Please keep on like this 😊
Yes you are so right. It's like gazing upon an old friend .. the sight never gets boring.
You do amazing work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much Nolan, really appreciated.
Beautiful images Richard and love the light painting from the master.. The Ruins of the house looks amazing. And a cuppa is a must.. I carry Chai and single Ginger Nut biscuits.. perfect to dip into the chai or Tea :)
I can certainly vouch for Virat's amazing chai 👌
Always good to have some refreshments on hand Virat mate. Thanks for watching.
Outstanding video Richard. The images are outstanding as usual. Your point on stopping down to achieve sharp focus is really helpful, now to try it.
Thanks David. I've been employing that method for years . .it works well with wide angle lenses.
What another wonderful find Richard. Kudos to showcasing more work with the 35mm as well. I am not yet able to purchase the 20mm but do own the 35mm and you have shown the amazing results achievable with that lens, inspiring me to give it a go when the weather clears here. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Thanks again for watching. Yes I love using the 35mm lens when the opportunity arises.
Excellent shots of a beautiful old home and equipment, as always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you as always Phillip.
Amazing images Richard
I appreciate you watching Tony
Another set of stunning images from your adventure around Tasmania! I thought you might have imaged the old vehicle by the abandoned house also. I knew the tree was going to be imaged! Licorice bits for the win! Maybe someday I will adventure there to see all the beauty of Tasmania and Australia. Thank you for sharing with us Richard. 🙏🏻. You should do a book of your adventure around Tasmania
Yes I love a touch of licorice .. especially when chocolate coated.
I get something from every one of your videos, Richard. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Philip
Killer images Richard 👌
Cheers from okanagan valley british columbia 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for watching my friend.
Beautiful images Richard! I’m really enjoying your Tasmania road trip series.
I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Amazing video yet again. Such an inspiration!!
I'm really pleased you liked it my friend.
Very cool shots Richard, reminiscent of the the Midnight Oil house at Burra you did a while back...building wise anyway. Great stuff.
Yes a lot of people have commented that it looks similar to that one.
Lovely video as every time :-)
Thank you so much for watching again.
I have always loved this building, but never thought to gain permission to access it. Living in Hobart, I always think I can probably do it later. Coming from the outside, you have to seize the moment - we’ll done!
Great video.
Thanks so much Pete. I think it's human nature to put off things that we think are easier to achieve. Appreciate you watching.
Fantastic work Richard. Got get one of those torches. I have had so many other cheap ones let me down.
Thanks for watching Andrew. I'll have lots of torches and lights at the workshop in September.
Another fantastic episode! I love the images & how you captured them 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for watrching.
Excellent shooting Richard
Thank you for another very informative and detailed shoot
Been watching your vids (late into the night 😀) for a while now, very much appreciated
Now, I was putting aside some cash for a video head ............... priorities have now changed 😃 (Thank you!) Skywatcher adventurer pro is now the mission
pretty much got the apps, wow! That is a huge task of understanding for this old timer,
I remember trying this many many years ago, I gave up after I couldn't control the water running down the front element of the Nikkor 14-24,
I feel like I'm back at school again 😉
Much appreciated
Regards,

Thanks a lot for watching Gary. Yes there is a fair bit to get your head around. . but small steps, one at a time . .and it begins to make sense.
Nice find, and great images 👏
Thanks so much for tuning in Martin.
Just back from France photographing the lavender fields in bloom so catching up on your Tas trip, excellent as usual Richard. I've seen so many of your videos now I sort of guess the settings you use right each time.
Thanks so much Peter. I'd say your trip through France would have been magnificent. Yes I don't change the settings very much do I ..!!!!!
espectaculares!!!
Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey, you alway like to drink coffee. Me too. But one of best coffee I drink was in Coles Bay place It is Tasmania brand but I forgotten about it , it won the best coffee then and I bought a package home back.
Yes I enjoyed the coffees there.
Wonderful when something just comes together, another great video. Really appreciate seeing the different lighting options on the house, all giving cracking images.
Thanks heaps Eric. Yes it was good to try a few different things on the same subject.
Awesome find mate!
Thanks Shayne. Yes I was wrapped to stumble across this one.
Fantastic mate ..
Thanks for checking it out Tim
Another cracker video Richard. Absolutely love your work. I'm heading to Tasmania in my motorhome next year, if I can get some night sky images as half decent to what you capture I'll be very happy. Really interested in the sky tracker and learning to use that so may have to see if you are running any workshops when I head east and do that before heading to Tassie 😁
Look forward to the next installment 😁
You'll love Tasmania Sharon. I hope you capture some great images.
Nice work on this one as always, your videos are very inspirational. Now out I go to attempt my own nightscape photography as the moon is setting soon.
Thanks again for watching Adam.
Fantastic once again! Do you ever give the property owners a picture as a form of gratitude for letting you take your pictures. I’ve done that in the past and have been welcomed back time and again, love your work!
Thanks for watching David. Yes I do that all the time .. sometimes a calendar also.
Amazing yet again Richard. Very inspiring ❤
I really appreciate your comments Stephen
Your methods of shooting nightscape are excellent sir! 🙌🏻 and also I really like the music you selected for the intro, It just perfectly matches the scene :D, and BTW I always wonder why don't you upload videos in 4K? I mean imagine watching quality videos in possibly best quality! Let me know what are your thoughts about it :)
Thanks so much for your comments my friend. I only shoot in 1080p so that's why no 4k.
😍👍👍👍👋👋
😍
Seus vídeos são fantástico Richard.
Thanks heaps for watching Rogerio
Another amazing video Richard. I love your work. Just wondering, have you ever considered strapping some small cube lights or another small light weight light to your drone and use that to light paint from above your subject?
Thanks so much for watching Adam. Yes I have considered doing that .. but I've never gotten around to it. Most of my nightscape adventures are very busy already . .so I guess I'll just wait and see.
Hi Richard, Again pictures are always epic and wonderful... Just wondering is your Nikon converted for night photography....Anyway you absolute smashed it again with great content.... Love this.... 😊❤
Thanks for watching Keith. Yes one of my cameras is h-alpha modified for shooting the sky.
That subtle light on the tree was brilliant, really made the overall 1st image look fantastic.
Would you happen to know if the GTi star adventurer is as easy to set up at your mini star adventurer?
Beautiful work once again Richard 😊
Thanks so much for your comments Alasdair. I have no experience with the GTI so can't comment. But my non polar scope polar alignment method will work with any tracker. Obviously the GTI has a different method to polar align. I'm actually playing with a Benro Polaris at present and down the track I'll be releasing some videos featuring that unit.
But the Star Adventurer Mini and Star Adventurer 2i are almost the same .. it's just that the mini is smaller and lighter. . also a bit simpler in features.
@@nightscapeimages.richard thanks Richard, the mini seems a great kit especially with the ability to connect an external usb battery to it
@@amacmedia3221 It's really simple to use and extremely portable.
@@nightscapeimages.richard that sounds like the one for me 😁
Great images with superb music selection, Richard!
I just missed images of that tractor in the background of the house.
Was it gone at night? Or didnt u bother photographing it?
Maybe next time u can give the listeners the advice, that photopills does have a focal length calculator if the dont want to believe you.
Greetings!
Thanks as always my friend. Yes it was still there but I was getting tired and running out of time as it was.
Another amazing video thanks again for sharing. Can I ask you do you always use the infinity marker on yr lenses for focusing ??? so many people focus on stars or use focus peaking etc am curious to know how you focus ??? Thanks Richard.
Thanks so much Judy. Well actually my lens has no markings on it at all. So I have to focus by using the live view rear screen method. Or sometimes by focusing on an object a fair way from the camera. On wide angle lenses the infinity focus point is actually quite close. I generally don't use focus peaking as I find it hides the stars too much and then they become hard to see. Having said that .. focus peaking works if you get a handle on your particular camera.
Great video😊
For the foreground shots, once you have selected your aperture how do you work out iso and shutter speed exposure settings when light painting?
Thanks so much. To an extent it's trial and error. A lot depends on the subject colour and texture. Also distance from subject.
Absolutely brilliant. Inspiring me to find a location suitable. Never owned a star tracker. Sorry to ask the stupid question but what does it give you?
Thanks for watching Mark. A star tracker is a device that actually follows the stars across the sky, thus enabling you to use longer shutter speeds than you can on a fixed tripod. Due to the rotation of the earth the stars, planets, sun and moon all move across the sky and the tracker keeps the target in the camera view.
This does come at the expense of more complex blending of foregrounds however.
Great photos Richard! If I may ask... the light source you placed inside the building-do you keep it dim or do you set it brighter? Thanks! Jerry
It depends on my camera settings. If I'm using high iso and wide open apertures them it's very dim. If I stop down the aperture with a lower iso I'll brighten it up. Trial and error for each situation.
Fantastic... When you are taking milkyway with tracker , then where are you positioning your ? through tracker milky come better but this foreground will blur .. So are you kepping camera in a open place where no tree are present ?
Yes I usually move the camera into a clear space to shoot with the tracker. Then it's a lot easier to blend in the foreground later.
Fantastic captures again Richard and yes the temperature here in New Zealand is not nice at the moment, polar blast coming through the two weeks ! Just purchased a used Star Adventurer 2i and the Polar alignment adapter, have been looking at the app and there are three, is the SkySafari 7 Plus the one to go for ? is it an update from the 6 Plus ? have been following your videos for some time and decided to bite the bullet ! Cheers for all help and easy to follow explanations and your stint around Tassi ! was over there back in 1991 to play the Masters Indoor Cricket, we are going to try and get back there to Tiki Tour right around as it is much like NZ. Cheers
Thanks again Royce. I did answer your question about the Sky Safari in the other video. But in a nutshell . .I'd imagine the Sky Safari 7 Plus is the way to go.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Many thanks, will down load it tomorrow. Cheers
Nice find! Did you follow up with the owner and send them a finished image?
Not at this stage. I've been a bit busy since returning back home.
Wonderful shots. Btw, for your tracked images, you took them behind the trees correct?
Thanks for watching. I always move away from trees when shooting tracked shots of the sky as it makes the blending later so much easier.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
Hi Richard. I’ve always wondering how you make the stars shine in your videos? At What ISO are you recording? Do you use a dslr for videos?
Thanks for watching. I'm shooting video on the Sony A7s3 with a Sony 24mm f1.4GM lens. I shoot at f1.4 25 fps iso64000
Richard, Just curious, Why did you not shoot at F1.8 and lower the ISO, instead of shooting at f2.8 at ISO-1600? I would think that because your shooting only 1-shot, that lower ISO would give you less noise, Yes, No?
That's a great question. I could have done that for sure. I do find f2.8 to be a cleaner image around the edges of the frame . .also my camera is amazing at iso1600. I'm not worried about the noise at all.
I do sometimes shoot wide open at f1.8 but usually that's only in very dark wide open landscape situations . .to capture more light.
Hi Richard, I have a question that may be a video idea.. I've been asked to join an expo with my (beginner) phone-nightography images..
Now I'll need to rush to edit and select photos for print(and print them..)
I'm just chasing my tail here; other than calibration issues from my display to print, will I need to do star reductions or are there other types of details to look out for when getting starry landscapes printed?
I've noticed you tend to read most comments, so I apologize for being cheeky on this one.
Thanks for your time, i'd love to hear what you think!
And of course, thanks for the awesome content and inspiration. I just recently got my hands on an old incandescent camping light :D Hope i can do some magic!
Thanks for watching. It's difficult to say as all images are a little different. But as a general rule I tend to brighten up my images before sending them off to print. Most printed images come out a bit darker than a backlit computer monitor shows them. One of the biggest problems with printing is noise in nightscape images .. it's hard to hide. Also, a lot of printers don't print black all that well .. obviously there is a lot of black tones in a night image.
It's the old story . .the output will only be as good as the input. Spend the time on editing your images to a high quality.
@@nightscapeimages.richard thanks for your time! 🙋♂️ really helpful, in that it confirms my experience with previous print. Only had a couple holiday photos printed, they did come out dark, but otherwise great!
😀 Promo sm
love that second shot (pano) of the old building! Was curious do you send the land owner a print/digital image of what you photograph that evening? Definitely nice to connect with the owner before shooting, I know I've had some run-ins with curious farmers when I'm out at night at old buildings!
Thanks again for watching Scott. Yes I often do send im ages to landowners. I'll often give them a calendar as well.
