This Calendar Shows The Best Days Of The Year To Shoot The Milky Way In 2020

Milky Way photography is one of the most fascinating types of photography, but to shoot the most appealing part of our galaxy, the Milky Way center, you need to plan your shot since it’s not always visible. The galactic center is only visible during a specific season (March to September in the Northern Hemisphere and February to October in the Southern Hemisphere), and also, just for a few hours during the night....

This Guy Coordinated Five Drones To Light Paint A Giant Footballer In The Night Sky

Light painting with drones has become quite popular over the last couple of years, but it’s still an extremely challenging thing to do. Achieving great results relies on a lot of factors.

It’s an interesting look back at what people thought back then....

But it felt so good; looked so good on my camera’s LCD. What’s the deal with that? This is why processing is the key to a great image. This is why revision is the key to great writing....
