A Beginner’s Guide to Photographing the Milky Way
Ever tried to photograph the Milky Way and have little success? I know my first attempt at photographing the Milky Way was a total loss. I was on my deck in the middle of October and said, “Oh look, stars, I wonder if I can photograph the Milky Way?” Let’s just say that shot was terrible and almost made me never want to try photographing the Milky Way ever again.
Over the last several years, I am happy to report that I have had many successful Milky Way outings and in reality, the Milky Way is relatively simple to photograph. The key is knowing when and where to look for it! Photographing the Milky Way is similar to photographing a long exposure of a sunset.
Many of the same composition rules apply, but the difference is that sunset happens every evening. The Milky Way, however, has a few very specific parameters that must be met in order for you to view it and photograph it. Luckily you don’t have to go searching all over the internet or spending thousands of dollars on Milky Way workshops, because I am about to give away all of the industries best-kept secrets for photographing the Milky Way.

Blake has a way to delve into Photoshop like no other. Over the years he has taught me many, many new techniques, not found anywhere else. My photography skills and Photoshop skills have advance to the pro level. He amazes me every time he releases a tutorial. Photoshop is a vast software, and Blake continually shows me ways to edit images that I never discovered before. He certainly has made my Milky Way photography and post processing way better.

I recently purchased Blake Rudis course on Milky Way photography. All I can say is it’s excellent! Blake’s method of teaching makes learning so easy and enjoyable. While I have done Milky Way photography in the past I learned new and better ways to improve my images and, by the actions Blake included in the course, advanced my post production processing. I highly recommend this course to beginning and more advanced astrophotographers!

I feel the content was well thought out and organized. I also appreciate you stressing the use of a “good” tripod. On several trips out Ive seen people trying to use a low quality tripod with a camera and lens that was much to heavy for it. Nothing could be worse than to be miles out in the bush and to have your camera and or lens busted due to a cost cutting mistake.

I sat in my room in Bar Harbor, Maine on a gorgeous sunny day for three hours last September listening to Blake’s course because I wanted to photograph the Milky Way at Sand Beach in Acadia National Park. It was well worth my time because that night I was able to capture my first Milky Way photograph!!!

I have taken and plan to take photo trips into the desert. I could never understand how to photograph the Milky Way. Now I’m ready and, I think, able to conquer it: technique, equipment, and processing. I originally took the course on f64 elite. I liked it so much, I bought it to have it on my computer for the next trip into the night sky.

Everything in this course has help me understand what I have read in books and Magazines when it comes to photographing the night sky. Wish I would of found Out about f.64 years earlier. Am convinced that I am better off with a subscription to f.64 elite than I am some magazine subscriptions I have purchased in the past.
