few years ago, if someone told me Iโd be setting an alarm for 2am, driving into the middle of nowhere, standing in the cold and staring up at the sky for hoursโฆ
I wouldโve thought they were crazy.
Then I saw the Milky Way with my own eyes.
Not on Instagram.
Not in a magazine.
Not on a computer screen.
Standing underneath it.
Thousands of stars stretching from horizon to horizon.
Complete silence.
No traffic.
No notifications.
No distractions.
Just you and a sky that most people never take the time to experience.
The crazy thing is that most people will go through life without ever seeing it properly.
Not because itโs rare.
Not because itโs hidden.
Because they simply never know when to go, where to go, or how to find it.
Thatโs exactly why I created the Shoot Your First Milky Way Workshop.
I wanted to make it easier for photographers to experience something that changed the way I look at the night sky forever.
Over the next few days Iโll share some of the biggest mistakes beginners make, how to avoid them, and how photographers just like you are capturing their first Milky Way photos.
For now, I have one question:
Have you ever seen the Milky Way with your own eyes? Let me know in the comment below
