    Thank you Alyn for all your videos and your awesome shared knowledge that help many of us embrace the night sky photography journey...

    He doesn’t mention it early on but make sure you take at least two photos of your background or target first. One with it underexposed so that the lighting looks exactly how you want it, and another a bit more exposed to see the details in the target. Then you can mask them over each other and add all the star trail frames

    Well timed tutorial Alyn, a lot of us trying timelapses from the garden!

    I've spent way too much time googling how to make a composite like you did (switch foreground), and here you show it in so few and simple steps. None of the guides I found mentioned "refine edges" for example. Thank you!

    This is great, thank you. It's very straightforward, simple to understand and covers a lot of what I've read in huge articles. Brilliant. I spent an hour out last night getting the shots, let's see what it turns out like....

  • @SimonGodfrey
    @SimonGodfrey 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    This has been so useful Alyn! Especially what you did in Photoshop, I didn't know I could easily remove satellites etc with the spot healing tool and you showed me a much easier way swap out the foreground, thank you!

  • @cult4037
    @cult4037 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I live in a heavily light polluted city and usually only get to see the brightest stars but over the course of the lockdowns the skies have cleared up due to less pollution and i can see sooo many other stars which i would never get to see. I've been shooting pics of the skies just because these skies may never return again. Awesome video keep it up 🤘🏻 and Clear Skies!

    Thank you soooooo much! I took an image like this for a school project where we had to take a picture of something in motion, and I’m really proud! It’s not as good as yours, but I’m super happy with it. It also was so much easier than I thought! Though I won’t get feedback on it before the beginning of next year.

    The tip for manual option to remove chromatic aberration was well worth watching the video! Very well put together. I believe star trails photography is easier than deep sky objects where you take a lot of stills, dark framse, light frames and flat frames etc..

    This was really helpful as I am a newbie at this and photoshop (just been using Lightroom). I did have some trouble with spot removal as I had to make the change on the original layer and not the "spot removal" layer I added. The shift+click did made it so much quicker.
