The Nightscaper

A few nights ago in Chamonix, I had the chance to join Benjamin Barakat, Sadeq Hayati, and Jeremy Singer for another stretch of their Alps tour.

 

While the group focused on the setting Milky Way core, I caught sight of Jeremy, perched on a higher ridge - perfectly outlined against the jagged peaks, Saturn gleaming in front of his lens, and Cygnus arching majestically overhead.

 

The scene was too good to pass up, so I turned my camera and framed the moment.
