Astro Landscape Photography with Lance Keimig

I found this class to be very helpful. I am planning a trip to New Mexico and wanted to be able to take some astro photos. Lance explained everything very clearly and I feel a lot more confident and excited about my ability to take some great shots.

I appreciate all the technical knowledge presented here, and love the follow through from capturing the images in camera, then editing in LR and PS. As someone paying for a video presentation (as opposed to a live workshop), this could use some polish in editing. Show more examples of the points you are presenting instead of just a video of you lecturing from notes on your computer. Edit the lecture to correct misspoken information, state important points more emphatically, etc. All in all, very informative and interesting. Just like our photos, it needs a few tweaks in post to make it shine!

The good: You are learning from a respected master of night photography. It is well filmed. The content is logically organized. The bad: Some of the audio tracks when he is editing have a horrible echo.

Great course! I read all the reviews, and I don't think the negative ones reflect the course. Lance was straight forward on every step, not only showing setup in the field, but also his post-processing work flow. I am new to ALP and this course was a great start, not too long and for a great price! There's also a lot of good tribal knowledge I found here that you won't find online ;)

Excellent class! I'm really surprised by the lower review ratings. The presenter is very knowledgeable and does a great job of walking you through the night photography process, from start to finish. During the intro, he does explain that this course is intended for people who have a basic understanding of your camera and terminology, so there is an expectation that you'll have a basic skillset already established. I loved having the opportunity to learn from such an experienced photographer. Thank you!

I thought this was an exceptional course, chock full of information, practically with every sentence! I highly recommend it.

I think that this class, and the others in the Night Photography bundle, are fantastic. They are detailed, and many could be turned off by the detail. However, for someone who really wants to understand the craft, attention to detail is crucial. These guys did a great job and I have already implemented their guidance in my own photography adventures.

Absolutely recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn more about astrophotography. What sets this class apart from other online classes is Lance physically walks through setting up a shot, doing test shots, light painting, and editing. As a visual learner, some concepts I have read about before finally clicked by watching someone else doing it. Can't wait for late Spring to test my knowledge!

I was able to take beautiful milky way pictures in 5 mins thanks to this class!

Lance makes some very complicated technology easy to understand. I have been taking night time photos for quite a while; yet I still learned a great deal from from this course. Learning the details and distinctions of things like long exposure noise reduction vs. high ISO noise reduction was wonderful. He is one of the few photographers on the planet who knows how to level a tripod. I took a class in surveying a very long time ago and have been railing against the morons who design photography tripods ever since. They need cross hairs instead of bulls eyes. Sadly Lance's demonstration of the technique his surveyor friend showed was complicated by the leveling head was incorrect; but I believe he should still be commended for knowledge of the problem. Five stars for this course.

What a stupendous, magical course. Obviously, this course is presented by a stellar scholar who presents in vernacular terms. I would recommend this to everyone.

I enjoyed this course and feel that I gained some good info. The post-processing portions are very photoshop/lightroom specific, so I have to figure out how to apply some of the process to the tools that I have available (or if it's possible at all). Lance was easy to follow - I haven't had a chance to put this info into practice though, so we'll see how natural that transition goes. I wish there was a way to ask questions, or have some sort of back-and-forth with the instructor. If something is unclear, you're on your own to figure it out. But, all in all, a good course.

Great information is shared in this course however the Drawback is that it is not well structured and I did loose track on each subject as a newbie to night photography. If you already know it then this course is great and with great illustration specially in the first half..

What a great hands on course! I found the step by step demonstrations extremely helpful, both in the field as in the studio. By the time I watched the last chapters, he had reviewed some of the steps for set up already several times, so it really helps to absorb so much information. I appreciated the suggestions for apps. Night photography is really different from any other photography I have done, obtaining even basic information helps, and it takes a lot of the guess work out. Keith is really easy to follow, and transmits his passion and knowledge very graciously. Off to Joshua tree to try it all out!

This is fantastic. It was superb seeing him in action

I found this course interesting, however not systematic. the correct information is given, however there are parts of the videos recorder twice which gives you 2 different explanations of the same thing, which creates confusion, and because of this confusion, you will end up doing more non intended research to find your answers, which is not the initial purpose of the online course.

I found Lance Keimig very knowledgeable and very easy to understand his process. As someone who is interested in this aspect of photography, I find it very helpful and comprehensive.

So much information and concepts explained in such a nice manner. Not making it complicated but even making them fun ! And full end to end workflows from field to processing. I have to attend few more times , its pure fun and lots of learning.

The classes are full of extremely important technical information that is delivered in a concise, clear manner. It is very difficult to grasp it all in one sitting. I have taken classes before in photography and I love the learning model with Creative Live .I can go back and review the information at my own pace and take notes as I go- I can even rewind and review if I miss something. This is a great collection of material and I would highly recommend purchasing the entire bundle - great job on the selection of fantastic teachers and putting together such a fabulous package on night photography.

A tremendous amount of information crammed into one single course - it can be only done by CreativeLive! Along with having such a profound knowledge and skills in a particular field, Lance Keimig has an amazing teaching style as well - he is very clear, concise and thorough. I strongly recommend this set of classes to anyone who is interested to acquire some general (or expand their existing!) knowledge of astrophotography and night sky shooting. Last but not the least, I want to congratulate the CreativeLive for teaming up with an excellent instructor to create and deliver this STELLAR and production-wise very demanding course!
