Life isn't about how long you live, but how much o

Life isn't about how long you live, but how much of your feel alive in the time you have in this 🌏🌍🌎 Keep reading you like to learn how to shoot Aurora 👇🏼 Quitting my 9-5 to fly across the world to see a glimpse of this phenomenon was the scariest and best thing I ever done in my life. I was worried that I will regret the things that I didn't do. So I quit my 6 years career as an engineer, rent the house, sold everything I have and book a one way flight to Canada 🇨🇦🏒🍁 Now I realised how much I've missed out because I was living in fear, making decision based on "comfortable lifestyle" and living in fear. 👻 So how do you shoot Aurora? 🤓 1. Set your camera on a tripid and use the manual mode
2. Manual focus on infinity
3. If there's only a glow on the horizon usually I would shoot all the way to 25 seconds with high iso like 3200
4. If you see layers I like to preserve the layers by shooting on faster shutter between 2-5 seconds with iso 3200-6400 or even higher sometimes.
5. Don't forget to enjoy the show and save this post for future reference. Camera:

Do you feel like life is a fairytale sometimes? 🧚‍♀️ Don't forget to swipe right 👉🏽 for full resolution. Here is The Wicked Hunt chasing The Milkyway, when then Aurora photobombed. The milkyway creates bridge between the two mountain. 🏔 If you see here Canmore is a small town and yet the light polution is real! You could see how much it washed out the stars. With earth population continue to grow, the dark sky is slowly disappearing. Do you have a favorite place to stargaze? Shot on

Have you taken photo of the Milkyway core? 👨🏻‍🚀 Keep reading and I’ll share what you need to do to capture one of this. This shot was taken from Indonesia when I was doing island hoping in Flores Archipelago (you can see the boat by the shore). We had to start hiking at 3 am, at that time this was one big hike. Of course if I was to compare it to the hikes here in Canadian Rockies. I remembered the feeling that I got when I first clicked the button…. And see the core behind the camera. That was it… I never stopped since then. So how can you capture the Milkyway Core, I’ve shared the settings and how to focus on the previous post (shoot me a DM if you can’t find it) but knowing the settings itself is not enough. 1. Sounds trivial, but weather! To see the sky you’ll need a clear sky. My favourite app for this is called Clear Outside.
2. You need to know when the core will be visible above the horizon…. when it’s dark. You can use apps like Photopills and find out at what time it will be visible above the horizon. Make sure that it’s not during full moon or blue hours. Now before I share the last tips. If you find this helpful, would be much appreciate to help me back by sharing, saving this post or simply let me know below how this helps you. So… Last but not least… 3. You need to find a dark enough sky! Two that I like to use is https://www.darksitefinder.com/ Or https://maps.darksky.net/ Who’s ready to shoot the Milkyway Core now? By the way I’m just putting together a course for landscape astrophotography, if you want to be notified when this is out, feel free to shoot me a DM

We are not alone! 🛸 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY WEEK 2021 🤩⁠
⁠
To celebrate this I'll share some of my shots from the very first one. Well here it is, my very first Wicked Hunt chasing the stars. It took me a while to finally find the courgae and get out. Started off easy by going to a meet up. The core wasn't there but I had lots of fun. Oh by the way there are nights before this where I failed to capture the stars. So if this sounds like you, no worries! It's actually not that difficult to shoot the stars. 🌌 Do you astrophotography? Or has it been something you wanted to try?

How can you take stunning photos even if you don't

How can you take stunning photos even if you don't have expensive cameras? Many of my students and mentee come back to me and say, BUT Stanley, my camera is not the greatest amd the latest... Would you believe it that these shota are taken by iPhone? No, not the lates and greatest iPhone 11 or 12. Believe it or not, these were take by iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s. So what's the secrets? Well this is exactly what I teach in my course and mentorship. 1. Master your vision!
You don't need expensive camera to win awards and captured beautiful photos but you definitely need to master your vision! You can do this by mastering Light, Timing and Placement. If you're not creative starting woth composition secret formulas will get you ahead of the game! 2. Master your camera
Know thy camera and its capabilities, if you know to use it you'll get more out of it even thought you think it's "NOT GOOD ENOUGH" Dont forget to save and share this post to those who meed to hear this! 3. Master post processing
Post processing is a great way to compensate and pushbthe limitation of your camera. It's when you can add your personalities and enhance the experience of your photo. You can make it as dreamy or as realistic as you'd like it to be. I haven't had a photo with sky replacement but if that's your forte you can get creative with composites as well! Let me know which one of these 3 pillars you'd like to get better at? #TheWickedHunt #TheWickedHuntPhotography #travelphotography #roamtheplanet

Many asked me what is The Wicked Hunt? My life changed since I left my engineering career to become A Wicked Hunters. The Wicked Hunt is a commitment, a mission and a way of life to hunt for moments that are trully unique in our life. Many of us got fixated on the final product that we missed the journey. The thing is beauty is all around us. All we have to do is recognise it. It doesn't matter, the weather, the location, the condition there's beauty in everything. Our responsibility as a photographer is to find it. These journeys are not always easy, sometimes I had to endure -40 deg c weather, sometime I had to hike 34 km but regardless the struggle it's always worth it because from each journey each hunt, you will find something new. New to capture, new to preserve and share, new perspectives that might change your life... Forever. Over the years my Wicked Hunts have given me the opportunity to experience once in a lifetime moments. Like this photo when I was up on top of a peak watching the sky dance... Overlooking a small skii village. @canonaustralia @canoncanada 5D mk iv with Canon 16-35 mm f2.8L iii

This was probably one of the best night of my life! 🤩 What a night! We drove out to go towards the trail head at 2 pm and got back home at at 7 am the next day! And it was probably one of the best night of my life. When we hiked up for sunset, I didn't expect any aurora. But this night I got to hang out with Comet Neowise, Aurora Borealis, Steve, Noctilucent clouds, Milkyway and a full moon 😂 Still hard to believe what I saw that night. What a Wicked Hunt! @canon 6D

Mono Monday.. What are some of the easiest way to add wow factornin a flat light? Well Sometimes world is better experienced through black and white 🤩 I shot this in the middle of the day so the light was pretty flat. So in this photo I use full stop filter so that I could create trails on the sky creating unique perspectives of this popular spot. Then turning the flat light into dramatic black and white so to turn the flat light into a wow factor. Shot on @canonaustralia @canonaustralia
