I can't recall how I ran into Ben Canales' photostream on Flickr,
but I'm sure glad I did. He offers up not only stellar night
photography, but also a humble and inspirational spirit that encourages
other photographers to try it out. Here are 10 examples of his
phenomenal work -- including an image that took top prize in the
National Geographic Travel Photo competition -- and a great video where
he teaches us the techniques he uses to get these shots.



ShutterSalt readers, you've proven you're in love with the Milky Way. The post I put up of Terje Sorgjerd's jaw-dropping timelapse video of
the milky way has already racked up nearly 2 million pageviews. So when
I saw Canales' work, I knew you'd be excited to check it out -- and
even learn how to take these images yourself.

I mean really... how often do we get to see something like this in
person, let alone in a photograph? Nope, this image hasn't been
photoshoped to high heaven to get that milkyway mirroring the mountain.
Sure, there's some post-processing involved, but much of it has to do
with being in the right place at the right time, and knowing what to do
with your camera, as Ben Canales most certainly does.




Canales has only been photographing stars for a short time. Of this
shot of Wild Horses Monument in Washington last summer, he states, "I'm
proud of the progress I've made in almost one year of shooting night
skies and I look forward to capturing more of the magic above us."

He has clearly poured passion into bringing the stars to life infront of our eyes.




Sometimes it takes more than one shot -- for example, this image is a
combination of about 50 exposures, stacked together in Photoshop.
Canales states, "This is the first stacked star trail I've done, for a
reason. I personally don't like stacked star trails, so I've only used
single exposure star trails in the past. But, I wanted to give the
method a try, and, here, in the location under the stars, I wanted to
see ALL the stars in the star trail, and that was only possible via the
stacking method. I think as an abstract art form, this has merit. But,
traditional sense of beauty seems lost to me."

Canales finds that traditional beauty in most of his images, however, and it certainly makes you want to go camping!




The shot above seems like every adventurer's dream -- to be sacked out
at the top of the world. "Ironically," Canales states, "shooting this
scene took on less of an epic, mountain top adventure feeling; but
instead it had a seemed more like a treasured visit to the Wise Man on
the mountain. After many Summer months chasing the Milky Way in
completely dark, Moonless night skies- this evening was truly a needed
treat."




Getting the milky way AND a milky waterfall in the same shot is quite a
feat. Canales says that the only post work "was a slight tilt
adjustment and WB tweak!" -- that is truly impressive.









"This is the Oregon Coast with the Milky Way arcing overhead and a
fishing trawler on the horizon. It's amazing how something that seems to
be a nuisance at the time can become a useful dynamic later after
consideration. ...And being forced to work with it! I like the
"gentleness" of this image."




While Canales likes to capture images in a single exposure as much as
possible, sometimes the best work comes from stiching images together.
The one above of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon is nine images --
five for the sky and four for the landscape. He states that it was a lot
of work to edit this image, but clearly the work is worth it. It is
spectacular.




In July, Ben found out he won first place in the travel photo competition for National Geographic, which included a 2-week trek for two to the British and Irish Isle aboard the National Geographic Explorer. If that isn't a prize to covet, I'm not sure what is!

Here is a wonderful timelapse of the night Ben took the winning shot:

Merci pour le partage Dream Art's

Mais de rien

PS : si quelqu'un pouvait m'expliquer la règle des 600 à la fin de la dernière vidéo
600 / Focal Length = Max Exposure in Seconds Même si je pense pouvoir déduire que c'est :
600 diviser par la focale (mm de l'objectif) utilisé = L'exposition maximum conseillé.

600 diviser par la focale (mm de l'objectif) utilisé = L'exposition maximum conseillé

la règle du 600 est de déterminer la plus longue exposition qui est possible pour tout objectif à longueur focale donnée, donc j'ai compris comme toi ... attendons les autres avis

Merci pour le partage, ces photos sont vraiment magnifiques

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa Ben Canales, je suis résolument fan de ce gars là.

C'est clair qu'il fait des photos terribles!!! Merci pour le partage Nico

En effet, passé ce temps d'exposition, ton appareil va prendre compte de la rotation de la Terre et donc tes étoiles vont devenir floues. Mais ca peut aussi être un choix de dépasser ce temps pour faire des "traits" avec les étoiles comme il le montre avec une expo très longue.

C'est ce qu'il me semblait avoir compris Merci pour la précision !

De rien ! Ce tuto est vraiment génial ! D'autant plus que cette nuit, pas de nuages en Bretagne, mais des lampadaires

Pour ce qui est des lampadaires... Faut aller dans la campagne (à 10mn à pied de chez moi aha) ou sur les côtes bretonnes :o NicoBzhache pourrait nous faire des vraies tueries avec ce qu'il sait déjà faire.

Ce qui m'a étonné dans ce tuto c'est la montée en iso. Perso si je monte autant ça va être dégueulasse avec le GF2 :/ du coup j'hésite pour les test.

De très belles choses.
