    In today's video I received special permission to photograph the ALMA Observatory in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The skies here are some of the darkest in the world but at 5000m altitude, it can be quite challenging to work. In my short time on the plateau I managed to capture multiple Milky Way panoramas, the Magellanic Clouds, the Gum Nebula and star trails.

    This showed up in my feed today. Alyn's videos were a great source of learning when I got into astrophotography a few years ago and continue to be. I think though, that the big lesson for me in this video is to treat every moment like it might be your last chance, "for a very long time". Rest in peace Alyn and thanks for your creativity, teaching, and inspiration.

    Hearing you say ‘it’ll be a long time till I get to photograph the southern hemisphere again’ and you passing away, shows how you should enjoy every moment like it’s your last.

    I've been missing these adventure vlogs so much man! What a treat this one was 😀. Such a stunning location. Really respect the speed you work at under time pressure at 5000m altitude while also making a vlog and trying to be sociable with the people around you 😅. Love the airglow tbh, makes it extra unique.

    I can't believe how fast you work! Two hours and you gathered SO much raw data to work on. I might get one pano while running around like a headless chicken... Your shots are beautiful! And I love seeing the vlogs again :)

    • @insanebmxthomas
      @insanebmxthomas Před 8 měsíci +1

      yeah it's like all the years he was doing the craziest work culminated right into those 2 hours. i think he absolutely smashed it.

    Well done! 👏

    My favorite part of this channel is that the intro has by far the best production value in photography youtube....and then the episode name is just the file name.

    @PaulMDillon Před 8 měsíci +13

    Been missing your astro vlogs so much. Nice to see you back at it.
    What a cool experience to get back to that observatory and shoot so many images!
    Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and inspiration ❤

  • @nightscapeimages.richard

  • @herby19661
    @herby19661 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I think all of your shots are amazing. You remind of my son and his artistry. If it's not perfect he doesn't like it, while I am looking at the same creation he made with my jaw on the floor. Your photography is out of this world. Thank you and stay well.

  • @Larpy1933
    @Larpy1933 Před 4 měsíci +1

    That’s an amazing story - and photographic work. Everyone who thinks living on Mars would be “fun” should spend a month living up there. And if they’re still smiling, 5 years up there. Thanks.

    OMG I have no idea how I got lucky enough to get recommended this video tonight, but I'm actually so grateful. I was so bored and sick of scrolling through 1 terrible video after another, and there you were! 3 of my favorite things in the world in 1 video: beautiful photos, good trivia info, and anything pointed at the stars. Thanks!
