 p.1 #1 · ADK Astrophotography so far this year | |
Hey folks,
I currently am recovering from a ruptured spleen which has honestly shifted my perspective on life. Sometimes you need to slow down... like a lot. I have been a little out of touch with photography over the past 2 years, but I feel as though that kind of came back with the eclipse this past year. The spark is back, and I am thankful I am able to engage in this hobby and what I have accomplished so far. It is such a wonderful art and adding the complexities of hiking and astrophotography really grounds me. I am happy to share some of the work I have captured and processed this year. Everything was taken in the Adirondacks, my "second home." I have completed the 46 as well as the 2 official NEU8 ultras within the park. All but 1 of these shots were taken atop a summit. Combing hiking with photography really lets me connect with my work even further.
All have been shot with Nikon mirrorless cameras. I will do my best to disclose the EXIF. I try to keep everything as realistic as possible despite tracking and stacking. Nothing here is faked such as pointing a camera one direction for a foreground and another for a sky or focal length blends. Nothing against that, but that wouldn't work for my style and how I feel about my work. The only exception is the eclipse shot, where I used a 14-24 to shoot the filtered shots, and a 24mm prime to shoot the corona shots on 2 separate Z7's so I would not to worry removing filters since I had 5 other cameras to manage. Both cameras were right next to each other and at 24mm.
