Nice tutorial, thanks! Monsoon rains here so no clear sky for another few months. Will keep these tips in mind when I try star trail photos again :)

Hey , thanks a lot for the useful videos and tips you are giving us , i am using a Nikon 3100 i recently got it as i'm still a beginner , i didnt get the bulb mode you were discussing , how can i set my camera's timer to capture those trails and is it possible to capture the star trail with my camera ?

@kaalt 11 лет назад

This is great! I'm going to Jordan soon, so I'm looking forward to taking some star trails! What should I be setting the aperture to?

@RodrigoAndrade7 11 лет назад

Hey buddy,yes you're right the max is 30 seconds,but your camera have a "bulb" mode which alow you to take the picture at any time you want. But you do want to use a remote shutter control to have the steady and not out of focus image. :)

@i08Boy 11 лет назад

For people asking for how to change exposure to 30" + you have to you bulb. If you scroll the exposure it end at bulb. It helps you choose your manual exposure until you let go of the release button. Hope it helped. (:

Great video. I've just started to get into this after watching your video.Your pictures are amazing! I'm having trouble though. Im using the T3i, If I use Auto Focus it never focuses on to the sky, but if I use Manual Focus, the shots are just out of focus.Is there a way of over coming this? how do you focus on a dark sky? I Live in the UK and theres a lot of light pollution in my city & this time of year Humidity is quite high.Could this be the problem?need to move to the country side!haha

@sarasaeed8677 12 лет назад

Hello, Thanks so much for this great effort and information but can you help me because i dont know which video to see first i bought a new camera canon D600 and am completely a beginner, i watched the way i should hold the camera with. and the aperture video and i dont know the appropriate sequence to learn precisely Thanks in advance :)

@TheAnimatedPeter 11 лет назад

Yeah, you'll need to set it to bulb and get yourself an external shutter release such as an intervalometer. Once you plug it in, turn your camera on, set to bulb, set up your composition, and press and lock the shutter button on the intervalometer. A tripod is a must and you may want to hook your intervalometer up to your tripod with rubber bands or something so any wind doesn't cause minute camera shake which will ruin the shot and waste 30 minute of your time.

@kumarranjit1972 11 лет назад

Hi - Thanks for sharing. One Question - I have a Canon 55D camera with 15-135 MM lense. How do I keep the shutter speed for 30 minutes or more? The max I have been able to set on my camera is 30 seconds. Is there something I'm missing? I may be aiming too high here cause I'm too raw in the field of photography. Just purchased the camera about 3 months back. A little guidence will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

@rezjrprod 11 лет назад

Hello, I would use manual focus and focus just shy of infinity.make sure you get your composition first .jib has a video on how to focus to infinity. As far as humidity is concerned it only really creates a problem when clouds are involved...or fog of sorts. Good luck im sure youll do fine just keep trying different things..but just make sure you get your composition first and focus to infinity.

@shavdhandlz 11 лет назад

Hey, I have a 60d. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial of how to use the back focusing?

@spittinknowledge 11 лет назад

So what kind of lense is he using? where are you focusing? will a 50mm 1.8 suffice or do you want telephoto? I have the 50mm, the kit lense and a 70-300mm

@MelvinDlaCruz 12 лет назад

Hey i want to buy a good lens for make sharp portraits, i have in mine canon 1.4 50mm, some recommendations?

@rezjrprod 12 лет назад

battery grip is a good idea but a well charged battery will work for 45 mins. Did it with my t3I but have a battery on stand by..always good to have a backup

@akielgraf2012 12 лет назад

@PhotographersOnUTube@ I do night shooting with my canon t3i, i set my settings on aperture F11, shutter speed at BULB and ISO 200 .After 30 minutes i relaese the shoot and the resault is full of noise in the resolution of my picture.What's the problem and how can i fix it???

@leedarmanin 12 лет назад

Is the camera battery capable of staying alive throughout the whole shoot? Or do you use some sort of charging equipment?

@rezjrprod 11 лет назад

possibly but it wont reducse as much noise as in camera...Ive tried both and ive found that in camera seems to work much better...it creates a black frame and finds the noise and reduces it...

@miguelisawesome1 11 лет назад

hey i am 12 and a an amateur photographer and can you plz plz plz do a video on the nikon d60 showing what settings to properly do night photography

@rezjrprod 12 лет назад

Its possible..I carry 3 batteries..just make sures its fully chanrged..and it also depends on the amount of time you shoot...because with Noise reduction in camera it takes the same amount of time to reduce the noice as it did to take the shot it can drain the battery. I recommed a battery grip but a fully charged battery could get you thru..always have a backup though in any case.

@Dinahhs3 12 лет назад

Hi can u pls tell us what printer you use for printing photoes

@SPERANZA65 11 лет назад

Hi there, ok first thing - 55D? do you mean 550D? if you change your dial to M manual, scroll in the menu left until the shutter is at 30 secs, then turn the wheel more until it says 'BULB' you can then have the shutter open as long as you want, i would reccomend you buy a canon RC-06 remote, they cost about 10 pounds in the UK, set your camera to 'remote control' in the menu, then, say you want a 30 minute exposure, point the remote at the camera and press. Press again when u want to end it.

@rezjrprod 11 лет назад

no problem..anytime

@GoRodent 12 лет назад

What kind of lens did he use?

@rezjrprod 12 лет назад

in order to get the same result with f11 you would have to increase your ISO and that could make the quality worse..low iso long exposure already introduces a bunch of noise especially at 45 mins.

@rezjrprod 12 лет назад

make sure you have high ISO noise reduction and long exposure noise reduction on...with long exposure noice reduction you will see that it will take as long as the shot you took to reduce the noise and hot pixels..where you trying to do star trails? F11 will not get good star trails..ISO 200 is high too..I stick with ISO 100 when doing star trails at all times like I said on the video.

@rezjrprod 12 лет назад

Whats easy to some might not be easy to others...I always take into consideration others that want to learn..and I never consider ANY aspect of photography easy..we all start somewhere..Its a matter of preference as far as astro photography is concerned..another thing that needs to be considered when doing star trails as Im sure you know is composition...finding the north star is not so easy on the first try..finding it and finding an interesting composition is the not so easy part for some.

@Elimnio 11 лет назад

usual a remote control for the shutter is the answer! ;-)

@armouredhen30 12 лет назад

So do you need a filter for it? A dark one..... Obviously..... ?

@quack18 11 лет назад

star trails are much harder to capture than normal star photos, u have to make sure that u got ur photo, ur settings correct before u take a shot, cse once u decide to shoot, ur going to stay 10-15 or even 1 hour or more, so if u didnt correctly plan and anticipate for somethimg, ull end up with a lot of time wasted for nothing
