Why Victor Lima prefers single exposures (Patreon)

“I favor the elegance and simplicity of single exposures,” says Victor. “Opting for single shots allows me ample time to meticulously craft compositions and explore new locations. The method grants me the freedom to experiment with various capture parameters and aligns with my preference for unhurried, thoughtful photography.”

Those "other capture parameters" usually include stacking and simple panoramas — all of which are just a combination of quickly made single exposures. Victor rarely shoots tracked or blended images.

This simple and more "truthful" approach to nightscape photography may be one of the reasons the editors of National Geographic’s Your Shot feature Victor's images more than any other astro-landscape photographer — exposing his work to almost 7 million followers!
