This was a great workshop that was the first in 1 1/2 years due to last years constant overcast skies. Well, we caught a break at least of an hour and it was fairly early in the evening. 

"You could see a billion stars" 

At least for an hour or so, then the clouds moved in like predicted and it was a rainy drive back to Virginia Beach. 

Here is some info on what I used, there were a variety of cameras being used this night. My gear was

Cannon SL2, Ioptron Sky Tracker Pro, GVM RGB Light, wireless triggers, monfrotto tripod, 11mm and 17mmm lens.

Exposures on the Milky Way ranged from 1 to 4 minutes. Foreground exposures were mostly at 1 second.

I used my Shadowpainting technique for the foregrounds and also shot multiple exposures. 

This was a successful and very fun workshop. Stay tuned for more announcements in the future, based on weather of course. 

Tight lines, clear skies, and Godspeed.

Wachapreague is a historic and charming place to live and visit. Surrounded by farmland, woods and water, a visit here is the perfect antidote to the harried life.

With only 230 permanent residents, you will never feel crowded strolling the streets of our lovely victorian-era town. Long famous for its inshore and offshore sports fishing, the town today is a coastal community base for enjoying some of the last undeveloped and unspoiled wetlands and barrier islands in the mid-Atlantic States.

The bird watching here is fantastic, especially during the spring and fall migration. Biking is a breeze due to the flat terrain. And if your own fishing skills are rusty, there are several restaurants in the area to sample our seafood.

Whether you are new to town, a visitor or a long-time resident, we invite you to explore our website. If you are new to Wachapreague, we hope as you learn more about our town, you'll plan a trip to visit us soon!

Cajun Crawfish Chesapeake Bay Crab Boil with Captain Jack Normand Jim Baugh Outdoors TV

What do you get when you combine the best Louisiana Crawfish with fresh Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs? You will find the answer in this recipe, Captain Jacks Cajun Chesapeake Bay Crab Boil. Without a doubt, the best seafood boil we have ever had!

This recipe is quite different than most boil in that both the crawfish and crabs are par boiled and seasoned first before they are added to the main boil. This is a great trick and certainly adds a lot more flavor to this dish.

This recipe can be varied up a bit as well. Some jumbo scallops and fresh clams would also finish off this dish nice. The key is everything has to be fresh and Captain Jack made it as fresh as it could be.

The crawfish were flown in overnight and the crabs were caught by Captain Jack on the ocean side near Wachapreague Virginia.

Try this dish at home, you will be glad you did!! Many thanks to Captain Jack and Mrs. Doris for putting on such a great show and serving up the best boil imaginable.
