It was a clear but hazy night, smoke down from the Canada fires, did not make Astro very easy. Around 25 exposures, 3 minutes each, only one was worth working on and this was it.

Shot on a Cannon mirrorless full frame, 16mm F2.8. The drone 48megapixels 24mm.

July is tough because the Milky Way has moved over top of the light pollution of Virgina Beach. The best time to film is really April-Early June. The Milky Way is mostly over the Atlantic Ocean during this time filming from the Shore.

To check out the four dark sky sites I located and filmed peak at the link below. I got VERY lucky to get those time lapse in only 4 months. By the skin of my teeth before the first film festival, only needed 6 seconds to complete the short film and got it, three days before the festival.

Timing is everything!

With Asto Photography, a lot of luck and prayer also helps.

Godspeed,

Jim Baugh
