Hey folks - I just created a new step-by-step video on using PhotoPills to Plan a Milky Way image that is updated for 2020: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YKRNAPIRQtU.html if you want to check it out. It just focuses on PhotoPills, whereas Part 1 of this Milky Way series goes into more detail about all aspects of Milky Way planning.

Sorry, but u wrong. The earth is not rotating!

@joefrat 6 лет назад

Yup, you were right. There are a lot of videos about Milky Way Photography. You are also correct that you actually explain this so I actually understand. To top it all off you actually explained PhotoPills better than they do in their 60 minute video. Thank you.

@outdoorphotographyschool7366 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for the high compliments, Joe! Glad you found the info to be helpful. Took me forever to figure out PhotoPills, but I'm so glad I finally did! Very robust.

At first I found PhotoPills confusing. I am a relative newbie to photography. But taking the time to read the articles, download and read the ebooks, watch the tutorials and try practical shots, paid dividends. So worth the investment in $$$ time and energy. Plus I have never had such prompt, detailed, passionate support from any app of any kind as I have from the guys at PhotoPills. Eg Same day detailed reply to help me actually plan a super moon shot due in just 48 hours! Best value app I’ve ever come across. Thanks for adding some more clarity though. Great video. For the record the guys at PhotoPills freely acknowledge their expertise is more in the technical development - less in the instruction - and are reshooting a lot of their videos in response. Can’t ask for much more than that IMO. 🙂

As a Rutlander now living in CO I'm envisioning a trip to include the Milky Way using some old barns etc in the composition. Good to get your confirmation that VT is still dark enough for such a shot. Great video.

@aegixxer1 3 года назад

2020 and this video is still helping people who are just getting started...like me lol

@outdoorphotographyschool7366 3 года назад

So glad to hear that! I'm also doing a series on how to learn the PhotoPills app, if you want to check it out: bit.ly/PhotoPillsFridaySeason1

@aegixxer1 3 года назад

@Nick Ferdinande My suggestion is pick a brand and stick with them. Ultimately you should consider lens selection and pricing. It's hard to suggest anything without knowing a budget but don't forget, people have produced incredible astro photos long before we had these fancy digitals. You don't need to spend a million dollars to get good photos. Find a local camera shop or an online place like lens rentals and rent a few bodies from different manufacturers and see which one you like best. If you're really wanting to focus on astro, don't get a crazy high mp camera. 24mp is just fine. The more dynamic range the better. I'm using a Sony A7Rii which does decent. If I were to buy a second body, I'd probably go for the 24mp A7iii.

@dennissteinerd1548 3 года назад

I've had PhotoPills on my phone for 6 months and it always gave me the heebie jeebies, closing the app in disgust. This is by far the best tutorial out there and I will watch it again and again until I get it right. Well Done Brenda!!!

@outdoorphotographyschool7366 3 года назад

Thanks so much, Dennis! I'm doing a series on how to learn PhotoPills (the basics, sun, moon, etc.) if you want to learn more: bit.ly/PhotoPillsFridaySeason1

When I first started Photoshop I remember trying to do Composites and I had these tutorials and I had just learned photography I was still learning my exposure triangle. I mean I was as green as the grass on a hot summer day. But it took me I think like 2 weeks which is comical because I used to be an electrical engineer, but it took me 2 weeks to grasp the concept of a layer and a layer mask. And finally somebody did a tutorial with two sheets of paper and explained that the top sheet of paper is like the layer and if you were to draw through it that's the mask. It was something so simple they gave me that haha moment. I know his teachers we can kind of overdo it when we explain things and sometimes it's just good to simplify things. But, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make all these videos. I used to have a RU-vid channel myself and I know that it's very time consuming not only to shoot the videos but to do the editing process and you always run into a hundred problems whether the phone rings somebody knocks at the door your computer freezes up and crashes and you lose all your work. It could be a hundred things and these things do happen. But thank you thank you thank you for taking the time out of your life and your day. Time is the most precious thing in the world and you give it up to help us out. I don't want to say thank you for that

@Janice947 4 года назад

I just discovered your RU-vid channel and it's terrific! Not only do you explain the procedures very clearly, but the video footage is often lovely and compelling. I've now watched all 3 astrophotography videos and love the inclusion of the trek through the snow, the recapturing of the bull, and the final time-lapse of the night sky. I look forward to more.

Hi Brenda, Your tutorial was perfect. I did have to pause, and back up and re-view a couple of times, but that's what's great about RU-vid. I am getting into the Milky Way game a bit late in the year, but I"ll be ready to roll in spring thanks to you. I've also started following you on Instagram. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a clear, understandable way!
