About

As you may have guessed my name is James and I am an Isle of Man based landscape photographer with a passion for the great outdoors, capturing enduring images that stand the test of time and exploring incredible wild places. For me it is so massively rewarding to face the ever-changing environment and weather conditions to capture unique moments in time and create enduring memories to last a lifetime. With my Youtube channel my ultimate goal is to help inspire people to embrace adventure, nature and the wild in the same transformative way I have. www.jamesbrew.com

Video Description

In this video I walk you through my approach and method for capturing Milky Way Panoramic photographs. These incredible astrophotography images can seem quite intimidating and difficult to capture but it doesn't have to be that way. In this comprehensive guide I hope to give you everything you need to go out and capture your own incredible Milky Way Panoramas. I don't cover the editing side of panoramas in this video as that probably deserves a video of its own! I do however put my own in the field methodology to the test as I head out at 3am to capture an image I've been dreaming about for years... Thanks very much for watching and a special thank you goes out to everyone who has picked up a copy of my ebook. I appreciate your support so very much!
