If you're unsure of what settings to choose when trying to shoot the #NorthernLights, hopefully this starter pack of aurora settings which I used for some of my shots will give you a starting point from which to play around and experiment.

Had another play with Google's Notebook AI (https://notebooklm.google.com) and came up with this "podcast" episode based on two of my tutorials / BTS posts.

I asked it to focus on opinions of me as an educator rather than deep analysis of the content of those posts and this is the resulting "podcast".

I've been terrible at keeping my blog up-to-date, but having promised some of you I would set down how I planned and shot the #MilkyWay during a flight, I've finally managed to pen my #photography #tutorial of sorts setting out my processes.

Beware: it's rather longer than I expected it to be. But hopefully it gives you lots of helpful tips!

Join me as I walk through my three-month plus planning process, and how I went about shooting this photograph of the Milky Way from an aeroplane.
