I'm really excited to finally get to this video as it's been on my wish list for quite some time. Lots of people have asked me about how I shoot my milky way portraits with flash and in this video I'll go into all the details, including the equipment I like to use, as well as the techniques and settings I've found to work best over the years.
I'd be really interested in what you think about using flash in your nightscape images. Please let me know in the comments section below.

You've truly inspired me for months, as I've studied and learned your nightscape techniques and tricks. I have gotten out twice recently and have produced some spectacular images, with your guidance, for a beginner. A new passion and motivation that I hope to take to the grave.....
