Known for his brilliant Astrophotography, American photographer Ben Canales has created a special video tutorial, showing step by step, how easy it is to learn how to shoot night scenery. At first glance it seems that it is difficult to, but enough to see the video to understand the basics. The remaining points after this seem very simple.
Video released with English voice acting, so unfortunately some readers may have trouble understanding what is happening. But before you watch the video you should pay attention to some points.
A few tips to get started
Set the camera on a tripod and make sure that the equipment is stable. In the menu, choose the self-timer. Ben chose 2 delay seconds, but experts recommend 10 seconds, especially if you use the less stable fiscal stands, he in fact with the top price category (Manfrotto or Djotto). If you need a professional photographer and you have no predisposition to it, you can use the relevant services- photo and video shooting in Moscow cheap.
ISO then selected maximum value and is set the largest aperture, for example, f / 2.8 or f / 1.8, depending on the lens. First you need to make a few test shots, to select the appropriate frame. With exposure to experiment, but it is necessary to start with a 30-second exposure.
Before you start shooting you must set the focus on the lens with a value of infinity. Canon users should set the focus to slightly closer than infinity, as can be seen in the following figure.

rule 600
by the way, worth bearing in mind, you need to turn off the autofocus mode, because the focus must be adjusted manually.
Last, but very significant Ben Council this rule 600. It concerns the movement of the stars in the photo. To obtain a stable image, where the stars are not lubricated, be divided 600 by the focal length of the lens. So you get time, which ensures stable image. If you use a lens 20 mm, safe speed is 30 seconds. And if you're shooting with a very wide lens focal length, eg 10 mm (type “рыбий глаз”), the maximum amount of time without movement will be 60 seconds.
And here's the promised video:
