First of all, english its not my first lenguage, so sorry for my bad english. This photo was taken during a summer camp back in Lake Wood, Pennsylvannia while I was doing my community service. It was my first attempt to capture the milkyway.Time
I remember I couldnt sleep that night, it was cold so I decided to take a walk to warm myself up while I was drinking hot tea. I stood in front of the lake when I realized I was looking at the milkyway. So I ran to my bunk, grab my gear and started shooting.Lighting
Well, it was pretty dark and I was just learning long exposure shots.Equipment
It was with my first camera, a Canon T3i with a brand new Rokinon 16mm f2.0.Inspiration
I had been attracked to the sky since childhood, and was inspired primary by other bignamed photographers.Editing
It took me days of learning via videos on how to edit astrophotography.In my camera bag
Back in the days just my good old t3i and the rokinon 16mm. Now I upgraded to a Sony a7ii with a Rokinon 135mm f2.0, 16mm f2.0 and a Sony Zeiss 35mm f1.8. A tripod is always in my bag, 4 Hoya filters and cleaning wipes.Feedback
Just patience.
