Why Did the Milky Way Cross the Road? (29mm)
No, it wasn't following a chicken. The Milky Way moves from southeast to southwest over the course of the summer, so as you shoot in the same location over that time period, your compositions and foreground subjects change from week to week. The dark new moon week only occurs for about a week per month, but that week shifts from year to year, so it can take a lot of visits and time to experience every combination of Milky Way position and foreground.
We schedule several workshops each year in Bodie, but each time we find new compositions and techniques, and further develop prior ones.
