Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on the cut on St. George Island Florida.

Time

It was around 4:00 in the morning I had to what for some storms to pass.

Lighting

This image was hard to work with because it was shot facing west. To the north west corner of the Photo is Appalachicola which was putting out alot of light pollution.

Equipment

I used a sony a7s modded and cooled for astro. I also used a tripod and shutter release as well as an orion light pollution filter.

Inspiration

I have always loved the night sky. My dad was and amateur astronomer like myself. I also love the beach. I try to combine shots of water and stars.

Editing

I stacked this photo in Deepsky stacker and photoshop. I also ran in through startools a astrophotography software.

In my camera bag

Sony a7s is my go to. I also have a Nikon d3100 and Astro modded canon 1100d as a stand by.

Feedback

The best way to learn is just get out. You will make mistakes, just be patent and it will happen. Mistakes help you figure out will will work the best.
