After a long time planning, in mid-March / 21 I finally managed to realize my dream of photographing Iguazu Falls at night.
I knew that the challenge would be great, after all, you need a special authorization from the National Park to shoot at night. One reason for this is that the park is home to several wild animals, including Jaguar, which are frequently seen in the region.
Having obtained the authorization, the challenge now was to be able to take long exposure photographs close to the more than 270 waterfalls in the place. The water spray generated in the place is very intense, and when you approach the main waterfalls you have the impression that you are photographing, literally, inside the shower.
This image was the first one I captured when I arrived at my main location, right on my first night at work. In it we can see the Santa Maria jump, one of the main falls of the complex, the Milky Way cloud on the left and the Magellanic clouds on the right. In the Milky Way region we can identify the Southern Cross and the Eta Carinae Nebula region.
The result of this unprecedented work in Landscape Astrophotography in the main region of the Iguaçu Falls on the Brazilian side has been gaining prominence in the media in Brazil.
