- I had one night and one night only to shoot photography in Banff National Park on my most recent trip to Alberta, Canada. Thus, I wanted to make sure I got the absolute most out of my time. So, I decided to do a crazy night of shooting night photography and star photography in Banff National Park. The conditions for star photography weren't exactly perfect, and I didn't run into any auroras, but it was still a beautiful night.
Banff National Park is easily one of the best places in the world to shoot star photography, and it's especially beautiful in the winter time. You get nice clear skies, incredible scenes, and no people. In fact, my whole time shooting the night images, I didn't see a single other person. It was quite amazing.
Anyways, check out the video for tips for shooting star and night photography with footage from my trip out to Banff, Canada.
LOL, love this video... and the singing.
Only 266 likes!!! Great stuff!!!!!!Canon 6D historic!!
great video, jelly that you got to go to these places for night photography.
Loved the video and your article is a great way of reinforcing the information
Love your videos! However, isn't it Mt. Rundle?? I'm heading to Banff this September so I really appreciate your direction.
I love the one at 8:48!
Thanks for sharing the info and your images. Safe travels.
You forgot the link "up there" :) But cool trip and hope you will tell more about the histogram tips.
The first thing I do after buying a digital camera is set the LCD brightness to minimum. That way, I get a good estimate of what my picture is going to look like, after downloading it on to my computer.
ım so jealous about this location. ım at turkey so i cannot find anywhere like you went (turqoise sea, huge mountain which is covered snow)
These are some really fantastic shots! I seriously appreciate this video! What is your method for focusing at night like this, if you don't have a distance meter?
+Ryan Hamilton I'll usually use a flashlight and light up what I want to focus on, then I'll focus in live view. If the subject is far enough away, I'll just set my lens focus to the infinity mark.
+Brendan van Son Thanks for the reply! Sounds like without a distance meter on the lens, there is some inherent experimentation that has to take place. I've been working on it. I've managed a few pretty nice night photos. With any luck, soon I'll be able to swing a higher end lens that features a distance meter. Thanks again! I've subscribed, so I look forward to more videos!
Hey Brendan, love the enthusiasm in your photography trips! if you’re ever in Edmonton or Rockymountain area and are looking to go shooting with someone i’d gladly be interested! lmk if you want to talk some more
Sounds good! And, thanks for watching.
Man, your stuff is awesome. I live in calgs, we should colab. Just finished putting together czcams.com/video/QnRPBKSMhUE/video.html with inspiration from you.
One thing to mention about star photog is getting the focus right. Maximum focal length is always slightly less than cranking the lens full, which a lot of people don't realize. You're stuff is super sharp, so I know you have it dowwwn, but it definitely took me a bit to figure this out. I started with focusing on my car headlights from far away, but now I can always find that sweet spot.
Keep it up man
