Chasing the Sky

Whenever I travel to chase the dark sky, always try to capture some different image on the same night. But it is tricky and not easy to travel to multiple locations on the same night as it’s often not a very long period of time to shoot the center of the milky way. Also it will be very hard to find and frame your shot under the dark sky. So some preparation will always helps!

Are you interested in chasing the night sky and take photo of the night sky like these? If so, I will be holding 2 workshops next August in Banff / Jasper National Park on Landscape / Waterscapes and Nightscapes Photography!

Around The Sign

I have started a new habit of changing lens during shooting at night. Particularly when shooting the milky way. Also started to use a large aperture f/1.4 50mm lens to shoot (one of my first lens from when I have my first 7D. There are some issues when shooting with this lens, especially with “Astigmatism” being quite horrifying in the corner… It happened when you wide open your lens. Like the 2 examples below are shot at f/1.8 and 2.0

And to switch to a 20mm lens to included the sign of Banff National Park.

Some times, you go for any kind of foreground even if it is just saw a sign while you were driving!! Well…. I saw it on an afternoon and decided to go back on a clear night as it was just a stop on the way! And you can get to shot at 2 park!! 😀

Night Vision

Night Vision

Trying to stay home during this difficult time, I tried to put all my energy to focus on finishing off a lot of photo and video that I shot over the years and not to think too much about the situation. Following the news are important, but it is almost very depressing watching days and months of this craziness happening right in front of our face. What do you do to stay positive these days? And here’s is an image from back in 2017.
