Kamil Tamiola is an adventure photographer, and probably most known for his stunning night sky photography.

In the video below shot on location (as you’ll probably hear) Kamil shares a primer on night sky photography.

In addition to the usual gear talk about cameras, lenses and tripods, Kamil shares some insights about planning for a spectacular shoot.

One tip that I was not aware of is that while you can always find a desolated spot with little light contamination, Kamil explains that atmospheric conditions has impact on the final quality of the image. Dry and cold is better than hot and humid as the light comes cleaner to the camera, and the higher you go means less air between you and the stars which means less chromatic aberration.

If you are unfamiliar with Kamil’s work, here is a sample of his work.
