I took this photo a Bodie Island Lighthouse while i was on vacation on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.Time
I took this at night before the moon rose.Lighting
The less light pollution in the area the better you will be able to see the Milky Way and the stars.Equipment
I used a nikon D800 with a Sigma 35mm F/1.4 (Art) lens, and my Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 tripod.Inspiration
I like light houses and night photography so i figured i would combine the two.Editing
Color correction in Lightroom CC.In my camera bag

Your expose is going to be about 20sec so the use of a tripod and a cable release (or your cameras self timer to make sure there is no camera shake) is essential. Go to www.blueridgeimagery.com to check out more of my work.
