Episode 4 of my South Australia road trip takes us to a very remote location to shoot this magnificent lighthouse under the milky way. This is at Lowly Point and it's a beautiful spot to spend a night under the stars. .. except for the huge gas plant not too far away from this spot.
This created quite a challenge for shooting nightscape images. A huge orange glow engulfed the whole landscape, and you can imagine just how hard that made this scene to shoot.
Join me out there on the job and we'll see how we go. I hope you like it.

So Richard, many of these old lighthouses (before electricity) burned oil (or kerosene) of some type to light the lamp. The small building you looked at was the oil hut, where the oil for the lighthouse was delivered to, and kept. The keeper then would need to haul a couple of 5 gal cans of the oil to the top each day to keep the oil lamp in the tower going. These older light houses were generally converted to electricity sometime in the last century, but the oil huts remained.

I've been waiting for this one Richard 😄 and I feel your pain with the flame at the Santos LPG plant. At least the beacon wasn't working when you were there 😂 I had no end of trouble getting a half decent image when I was there last year, with the beacon and the flame to deal with. As for the fencing, our local city council is doing restoration work on the structure as it is now owned by Whyalla City Council since 1995. I did a drone video of the Lighthouse last year and they saw how badly the place was looking up close and personal, so they got some funding to do a restoration project 😊 Another great video, and remember, if you're ever back this way, give me a shout. Would love to pick your brain, and I know of a few places near here with Bortle 1 skies 😁

@nightscapeimages.richard
@nightscapeimages.richard 2 года назад
Yes it was a pain. The light pollution didn't affect the sky too much when facing away from it. So I was able to take the tracked sky shots of the rising milky way core. But the other direction where Orion was setting was directly over the gas plant and so I didn't take those tracked shots there. I waited til the following night somewhere else.

Hi Richard. Well you really made it work despite the obstacles. I wanted to ask you if something like a reverse graduated filter would be useful in the lighthouse scenario or would that just create its own set of problems? Thanks and keep well.
@nightscapeimages.richard
@nightscapeimages.richard 2 года назад
Thanks for watching Simon. The problem with the filter is that the sky itself wasn't the issue . .it was all the foreground subjects .. especially the lighthouse. So the fact that it's an odd shape and high in the sky would mean the filter wouldn't be effective at all.

Richard, I hope this does not sound stupid, and I'm fairly new to light painting, How are you doing the light painting and keeping yourself out of the shots? Great video, I can't believe how there was know one there. If that were the states there would be 25-50 photographers there. Nice work.

Thanks for watching Leon. I do get myself in the frame quite often but I simply edit myself out in photoshop using layer masks. The lack of crowded locations is the number one thing I love about living in Australia . I saw a few people during the daytime but deserted at night.

At what time of year is it possible to photograph the Milky Way there?
@nightscapeimages.richard
@nightscapeimages.richard 11 месяцев назад
You need the milky way to be rising in the eastern sky, so anywhere from February very early in the morning through to June just after sunset. Thanks for watching.

Great video and beautiful shots - but PLEASE quit it with the light painting already! Just take longer exposures and do a composite with a tracked sky (you did that with the Orion anyway). You have a Nikon camera, with the right lens I promise you you can let enough light in even from a Bortle class 2 location. It's getting harder and harder to find proper dark sky locations, and joggers, dog walkers, people camping and cars everywhere are already bleeding white LED light onto just about any place they can get to. We as hobby astronomers and astrophotographers should be the last people to produce unnecessary light.

Thanks for watching Derp. I certainly respect your opinion but where I live there are rarely any people around when I'm shooting. I do often use long exposure techniques but the end result is completely different to light painting a subject. My little torch is hardly a major light pollutant compared to this massive gas plant. I appreciate the situation is quite dire in Europe and probably the USA but not so much here where I live due to low population.
