![]() However, even if all you have to do is press the shutter button, it will take time to be able to judge the sky conditions at the place and time when you actually take pictures. If you read this explanation along with the example photos, you may understand. This is one reason why beginners find it difficult to photograph the starry sky. Simply copying the shooting settings for another location, date, and time will not produce the best results. To further complicate things, the brightness of the night sky differs depending on the date, time, and location. In fact, in the absence of sunlight, we are affected not only by changes in the moonlight (its phase and position in the sky) but also by the artificial lights of nearby towns or cities. This is because human vision automatically compensates for these subtle changes throughout the night. I think few people realize the brightness of the night sky changes even during a single night, just as it does from morning to day to evening. Perhaps, for those who are not accustomed to night photography, the sky at night is just ‘dark’. Even the shutter speeds show a very wide range. But there is something I noticed in these examples: there are many variations in the brightness of the night sky. Set up your THETA on a tripod, activate Starry Sky Snap, and press the shutter button.Īll you have to do is wait and then you can take images like the ones shown so far. Of course, please feel free to use the plug-in anyway that works for you! Starry Sky Snap shows the brightness of the sky A little bit of cloud cover is okay as long as you shoot in an area with as much open sky as possible, ensuring that tree branches or buildings do not interrupt the view. In the example images, I took photos so that the strong moonlight would not enter the area used to determine the brightness of the sky as shown in the figure above, but even if the moon does appear in the area, the shooting settings are set to reduce its effect as much as possible. If you can see the Milky Way above you in summer, you can capture an image like this. Essentially, the plug-in decides the appropriate settings for any kind of starry sky. ![]() This plug-in solves such problems by allowing you to simply press the shutter button and wait for a moment. Moreover, sometimes it happens that images you think are okay at night look darker when you later review the images in daylight. The flagship model, THETA Z1, is currently the most suitable 360-degree camera in the THETA series for astrophotography thanks to its 1-inch sensor.Įven if you have a 360-degree camera ready and can go to a place where you can see many stars, how should you set exposure, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings? How do you change multiple settings with trial and error? It takes time even for a single test shot. THETA V, released in 2017, can shoot the same level of detail as S. ![]() Since the release of RICOH THETA S in 2015, the RICOH THETA series has been known as a 360-degree camera that can capture the entire landscape, sky and all. Hello, I am Yamamoto and I developed this plug-in. ![]() *Compatible with RICOH THETA Z1 and V as of August 3, 2022. Yamamoto, who planned and developed this plug-in, will introduce us to astrophotography with the plug-in. ![]() Shooting the starry sky requires specialized settings, but with this plug-in, all you have to do is press the shutter button once and THETA will automatically analyze the starry sky conditions and take pictures using the optimal shooting settings. The Starry Sky Snap plug-in* released on Augand it allows you to easily do astrophotography. ![]()
