Coastal Sky
The Milky Way will always be one of my favorite subjects. Spending time in the dark, playing with light, taking a moment to contemplate your place in the universe. My problem in the mountains is finding a place dark enough to properly capture it, and get colors out of it. I had been wanting to head to the coast and try it out on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I couldn’t get to the island I wanted to get it from… but after I argued that I didn’t want to go up here, I was convinced to go to the top of 4x4 Road on the beach, after dark. I was shocked to find, that despite being surrounded by lit beach houses, it was more than dark enough to create this exposure. It was an excellent time, I had a blast creating this. As an additional note… I would like to apologies to everyone I ever made fun of because they were swarmed by midges…. I understand now, and I am so sorry.
