Udi Tirosh

I’ll admit that when Canon first launched the MH20f-SH I was kind of skeptic. I mean what in the galaxy are the uses for a 4,000,000 ISO camera? Well, Ben Canales just proved that there are cinematic visions that can use this tool. Ben used the Canon ISO beast to shoot an exceptional video where the Milky Way is […]

It’s the thing that puts many budding astrophotographers off before they’ve really  even got started. This video from Sriram Murali puts things into context.
