Summer of George (Day 60)
Lanark, Ontario
OK, I'm pretty excited about this shot. Last night I got together with about a dozen other photographers through the Ottawa Photography Meet-up group. We converged on the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area in order to avoid light pollution from any nearby cities and to learn about photographing the Milky Way. This was my first attempt at this type of photography and I can see becoming addicted to it.
As everyone was lined up shooting in front of the only building around, I decided to move back and use it as a foreground element. I lightpainted the building with a pocket LED flashlight over the course of the 30 second exposure. In this particular frame, I was also fortunate enough to capture one of the group and his camera gazing up at the incredible spectacle spread out across the sky.
Thanks for looking and I appreciate any feedback!
