Door County is dope. Like, among my favorite places on the planet. I was up there a few weeks ago with my family, and my sister mentioned that she wanted to buy a print by a local photographer of the night sky with the stars glowing and I was like ‘I can do that…I think?’. So I grabbed my camera, tripod and brother in law and ventured to the middle of the peninsula, to where man-made lights don’t really reach, pointed the camera to the heavens and left that shutter open.
I am so jacked about the results for a number of reasons. One, that’s one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy in the photo, so that’s humbling and wonderful and inspiring to see. Next, this was the first time in a while that I just took the damn camera out for fun, and it was really invigorating to get to make some personal work. Lastly, it was nice to be able to feel confident in my technical shooting ability to know exactly where to go and how to get the shot I had in my head. I hope you like the image as much as I do!
