Twilight to Midnight

From the same night and location taken back in August. One of the night chasing NEOWISE Comet. It was a overcast night with lots of clouds moving quite fast. The NEOWISE Comet appeared on and off over the first half of the night and as the comet went below the mountain. A little change in direction to capture a time lapse of the night hoping the milky way will be showing at some point with all the clouds covered half the sky. So from all the frames I captured on this evening, I picked the one with the least amount of clouds in the sky showing half of the milky way. Hope you enjoy and have a great night!

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!! 😀

You can sign up for my 2021 Nightscapes Photography Workshop if you are looking into learning how to photography the beautiful sky at night like these. Check out the link here!

Good Old Place

A new visit at a good old place in West Vancouver. Just about 35-40 minutes drive from downtown Vancouver. It is likely the closest location from the city that I am able to photographed the milky way. It is a bit of a faded gradient in the sky and the milky way due to the light pollution from Vancouver on the left side) and lights from the islands on the right side… But well… what do you expect? It’s a short drive from the city!!! People are just surprised it is possible to do so from here!!

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.

Day And Night

Another time lapse video captured during a trip back in 2014 in Oregon and Washington State, but footage have never been used in any of my video before. I guess that’s count as new? 🙂

Merging Rivers

A night in the Canadian Rockies exploring a new area. Not too sure if the river is man made or being redirected. Looks like that to me. What do you think?
