I took this last year when I was at Little Sable Lighthouse. This night was so incredible I know I will never forget it. Shooting the milky way in one direction and comet NEOWISE in the other. I literally couldn't take pictures fast enough for everything. Such an incredible memorable night. Sometimes I sit back and think of all pictures I've taken. All the amazing places I've seen and been too. All the amazing people I've met along the way. All the amazing experiences I've had. All the incredible opportunities. It's all so incredible and surreal. Such an joyful ride for sure. I can't wait to see where/what/who the future holds. I lit this side of the lighthouse with a Lume Panel from Lume Cube, took the picture with Foolography's Unleashed and if you look veeeeery closely you can see my other camera and tripod on the beach running a timelapse of come NEOWISE that would be behind me. ;) Canon 6D Mark II Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 ISO 6400 10 sec www.instagram.com/UH82NVME #stars #unleashed #galaxy #littlesable #lighthouse #grassyknoll #UH82NVNE #UH82NVMYPHOTOGRAPHY #milkyway #michigan #nightscape #foolography #canonusa #lumepanel #capture4cubes #panelgo #litbylume #creativelighting #sand #workforit #milkywaychasers #nightscapes #astroscape #shootforthestars #lumelegend (at Little Sable Point Light) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQumGOmBXBR/?utm_medium=tumblr

When we first got to Little Sable Lighthouse I saw this and new I had to come back in the dark. This might get lengthy but it may be worth it if you can invision it the way it happened...this literally had to be a spectacle to watch. Ok, so setup. Camera, UNLEASHED and tripod setup on the trail. I have my Panel Go ready in one hand. I have my phone ready in my other hand. I was using my phone to trigger my camera via the UNLEASHED and I'm covering my Panel Go with my hand so the camera couldn't see it. Everything's ready. I hit start on my phone (2 second timer) and shove my phone in my pocket. I hear the shutter on my camera open so I sprint down the trail to the other end by the lighthouse to light it up. When I get to my spot I dive onto the ground to ensure not to mess up the timelapse that's running on the other side ALSO making sure the camera taking this picture doesn't see the Panel Go either. I had to cover it from each side but, keep in mind I only had 13 seconds for all of this to take place... As you can imagine this most definitely did not happen the first try...nor the second...nor the third....and it keeps going. Let's just say there were a few tries here. It took some time to get the trail lit correctly. Then to get the lighthouse lit correctly. Then the grass lit correctly. Then to get everything together. This picture is 99% a single shot. I had to composite in some spots in the trail because I couldn't get rid of the weird shadowing from my sprinting down the trail with the light. So, if you're still here and laughing at what I'm sure someone watching me had to think I was a freaking mad man thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy my end result...Lol www.instagram.com/UH82NVME Canon 6D Mark II Irix 15mm Firefly 13 sec. f/2.4 ISO 8000 UNLEASHED #stars #unleashed #irix #galaxy #littlesable #lighthouse #grassyknoll #UH82NVNE #UH82NVMYPHOTOGRAPHY #milkyway #michigan #nightscape #foolography #canonusa #lumepanel #capture4cubes #panelgo #litbylume #creativelighting #sand #madman #workforit (at Little Sable Point Light) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2fCe0lj8W/?igshid=15wxgw039e4df
