Doom [Explored]

There are nights when the weather doesn't play along and astrophotography just isn't an option. That's when it is nice to be out with friends or to you meet other people you can chat with.

 

This was of those nights. Clouds rolled in and there was no chance to shoot the Milky Way... A doomed session. No wonder this strange guy turned up, just as we were ready to call it a night. He wasn't talkative at all, but he made a good foreground subject that matched the gloomy sky conditions.

 

You may ask why I was't terrified by the grim rim reaper. The answer is easy: If you do not join the dark side of landscape astrophotography (others call it compositing 😜), there is no reason to be afraid of the dark guy.

 

Happy Halloween!
