I'm going to try this in conjunction with a rocket launch, which will be an orange parabolic arc across the sky. That process lasts about ~3.5 minutes and is pretty bright. I think it could turn out pretty well. If nothing else, it will be an interesting experiment! Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
Tomasz, you always make such great videos! The music, I love it! The fact that you show what someone can mess up, like the “sea fog” scenario, or the later when you pressed the shutter before sunset leaving the whole image like in day time was nice to add. I know I made a great choice when I subscribed to your channel. Keep posting! Take care!
I love this video. This is spectacular, and next time I'm in other than a city, I will try it. Everyone has their preferences. For me, I like the short trails one. Thanks for sharing this with the community
I tried for the first time to capture stars with the default settings and got a 17 second black screen. I'll try again with the settings you suggested. Thank you so much for this.
7:30 Yeah, that's my biggest issue/complaint with the GoPro "star trails" mode: whatever light is/was present, it keeps it in the shot for the total duration. So you have to be super mindful of streetlights, car lights, passerbys with any lights, even turning on YOUR own light (head lamp to check on the gopro), etc. Bc otherwise it gets "baked in" to the video. I wish it acted more like a time-lapse, where if there is a light but it passes thru, it will temporarily get brighter, but then get dark again as it keeps recording. BUT that's incredibly nitpicky 😅 considering it's all created for you at a push of a button. That's pretty amazing.
It only happens with MAX setting , but yes u got the point if it happens that a car droves by and lights up your frame ypur whole night might be destroyed
My pleasure! :) it was a really stressful project to pull of as i only had 4 nights to record, haha if i made a mistake this would be a game over coming home.without anything to show :)
This video came at the perfect time! I’ve been looking to perfect my own setup. I’ve found a really cool angle although it is a bit risky. I put it on my GoPro magnetic clip and I attach it to my roof from my balcony. (The clip part on a shingle, not the magnet) I can’t say it’s safe for everyone but I’ve found my setup to be particularly solid. I have to figure out a way to get a battery pack cable up there somehow next. Thanks for the video, love the content!
Thanks for the tips. I just bought a GoPro11 instead of the newer 12. Is there any chance you can list your settings for each shot in your comments. I find a lot of RU-vidrs do not do this. It would be a big help to us who are learning. Thanks and some great video. Cheers
So are these settings just for a effect of a picture or video. I try to record it shows time and stops ? 😢 am i not understand the process of this ? Sorry if stupid question
Boa noite Primeiramente obrigado pelo seu vídeo onde tem muitas dicas importantes para nós marinheiro de primeira viagem no rastro das estrelas. Comprei a minha Hero11 tem 3 meses e hoje fui experimentar o modo rastro das estrelas no modo máximo dela. Mas coloquei o Power bank. Fiquei surpreso que ela não gravou e simplesmente desligou. Depois de 2 horas olhei e fiquei decepcionado por que aconteceu isso. Te pergunto! Isso é normal de acontecer? Ou pode ser defeito da câmera? Pois ela ainda se for defeito está na garantia . Aguardo sua ajuda. Um abraço do seu amigo Brasileiro 🇧🇷 Alexandre.
Any chance you have a link to the places you stayed. Sorry this is off topic but after several trips to the country we are looking for something different....and staying out of the city would be different and fun : )
Where i live its.pretty gard to see the stars so to make that video i had to go on a trip to northern parts of the country into the wild ^^ so u fortunately this is not something i cam do often
The moon is what you probanly want to.avoid anf vhoose a night with no moon as u will.see more stars this way, thats what i did for my project and went on a trip k owing that there will.be no moon which can destroy a nightlapse, As for.photos i haveny really taken that many photos to be honest but i can recommend you from what i assume Raw night photo, shutter speed 15-30 s (ideally 30) , turn off LED All, iso 400 or 800 , some.people might recommend 1600 byt its very grainy , color natural or gopro, ev 0, wb 3200 or auto, sharpness low,
@@Tomasz.Nowacki ohhh I didn’t know about the moon, but that’s a great advice, and thank you very much for the settings tips too. Saludos desde Mexico!
I’m going to be on a dive boat overnight. I’m sure the boat will be rocking back and forth throughout the night. We will be several miles from shore with few ship lights so the night sky will be intensely dark. Is it possible to capture any star trails at all from a gently moving platform?
Sorry for late reply , the star project needs camera to be perfectly still , every photo takes between 15 - 30 sec of exposure it needs to be rock solid
No overheating , this mode is not that much demanding for the camera, Well it took me.like me a whole.night to get my samples but i think the camera.managed to revord.for.like 8 or 10 hours in total I used GoPro volta to supply the energy throughout the night
It takes a whole night to get like 10- 13 seconds , on a single battery u record for 3h something it’s not really much maybe u get 3-5 seconds out of it
