Very helpfull indeed. Another plus with this technique is the additional time one can use at night to take the images of the sky without needing to also take good images of the landscape.

This was just the video I needed to see since I am attempting my first blend and I can see now that my blue hour shot was too bright and did not look realistic. The tip on which direction to take your blue hour blend is also helpful. Thank you!

I have been doing astrophotography for several years now and just updated my system to the Nikon z6ii. I’ve actually never have thought about blending my photos together with blue hour photos. Thank you for the helpful tutorial! Going to Glacier national park in just a couple weeks and I would love to try this out! Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Loving your videos!

I appreciate this video. I was never much of a fan of noisy foregrounds, so having this technique in my back pocket will help out a bunch. Here's hoping you get more viewers on this topic.

I have always kept my camera set in the same position for the bh blend and the milky way shot/shots. Good idea to get more foreground! Thanks,

I'm an astrophotographer too, loving Milky Way and star trail images. Although the Milky Way is pretty much the same each time, the variety of foregrounds can make the Milky Way quite memorable. A have a star tracker but don't always take the time to align it. Have you compared stacking a dozen 20 second Milky Way images to a single star tracked image of 2 minutes? I am heading to the desert southwest to find dark skies with interesting foregrounds. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. ALSO, are you getting ready for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024?
@AustinJamesJackson

The tracked image will always outperform stacked photos. Once you get past 6-8 stacked images, the return on each image diminishes and it doesn’t get a ton better. I’m leading a workshop in Utah during the eclipse so I won’t actually be shooting it! I don’t care too much to shoot the eclipse.

Thank you for your video. I have few questions... don't you think that the edges of foreground is a little bit "sharp"? Is there possibility to soften it a little bit?! This would make the feeling more realistic that everything is made at one shot 😊 And the second question - how do you make the stars glow? It looks so awesome 👍👍👍
@AustinJamesJackson
9 ай бұрын
You can feather the mask slightly but this usually won’t look great. There are a couple masking tricks you could use on a case by case basis though! I didn’t do any star glow on this photo, but you can paint with a brush to create a little glow if necessary!

One can literally download a random blue hour landscape photo and a random Milky Way photo, from the internet, and do a sky replacement in Photoshop and tweak it to look realistic, that's how easy it is. Photos could be shot in entirely different parts of the world, and at different times of course.

One sure could. But what would be the fun in that, if you are a photographer who finds joy in creating his or her own images? With that logic one could even download a finished image and be done with the hobby...

Great video! One question: At the end of the video you explained how you can gain more pixels if you point the camera down a little since you don't need the sky of the blue hour image anyways. If you do that, how do you make sure the horizontal position of your camera stays consistent? I mean if you don't the blend won't be perfect, right? Or do you just stretch and adjust the images while blending?
@AustinJamesJackson

You can easily stretch and adjust the images. Oftentimes, I move the tripod for the Milky Way shot and it’s pretty easy to blend. If you want to check out my video on the post processing side of blue hour blending, you can find it here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mmetumushJZ6l20si=jyPhPIeUmWSri3SB
