Scenes like this help ease the pain and frustration that has been 2020. I made this image a few years ago on a trip to east Texas and have been wanting to go back ever since. I don't think it's in the cards this year as I am still in recovery mode from battling cancer and the pandemic is not showing any signs of slowing down as it is beginning to cool off. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year and adventures to the great outdoors will be in the cards for us once again. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
Typically I use wide angle lens for my night sky images to avoid star trails, but this image was shot across the water and I wanted to capture both the camper with their campfire and the night sky. A wide angle lens would have lost the camper in the vastness of the image. Although to the eye the skies were very dark and you could clearly make out the Milky Way overhead, there was still quite a bit of light pollution on the horizon. Seeing this image makes me want to go camping again. I'm ready to make smores and tell tales around the light of the fire. How about you?
