A night under the stars at mount blue state park

Mount Blue.

I've been working on this image for about the last two weeks. I've been working through Anthony's Nightscapes Master Class for Milky Way photography and have been picking up a lot of tips and tricks.

I already consider myself a pretty advanced astro photographer and processor but I'm always looking for ways to challenge myself and learn more.

Keeping true to my own style. I used a lot of what I learned to help craft my art just a little bit better. I can't wait to learn more once I get the right equipment to push my art to the next level.

Should be a a stunning night for some astrophotography in Acadia National Park.

I'll be available for a private lesson tonight for anybody that's in the area. Feel free to reach out if you are interested.

My typical lesson package is a 2-hour session with a 1-hour private virtual editing lesson. Should be a great night tonight.

I'm not one for photo contest but I've decided to enter the

After going through over 20 TERABYTES of photos I settled on these seven images.

Although I qualify to enter the Amateur category because I make less than 20k per year in photography, I've entered the Open category to really test my images.

I'm excited to see how I do!
