I Spent The Summer Photographing The Milky Way Galaxy In Hawaii
I am unable to associate stress with Astrophotography. Stumbling around alone, in the dark attempting to capture the night sky has turned out to be quite therapeutic and relaxing for me. I lost sleep this summer but I had some pretty memorable nocturnal adventures instead.
So glad I finally got around to spending more nights exploring the island. Equipment: Sony a7, Rokinon 24mm, 14mm, Tripod, Remote Shutter Release and a couple Flashlights. Nearly all images taken at 24mm f/1.4, 20s, ISO 3200 unless specified. Post-Processing done in Adobe Lightroom and Nik Plugins. All images taken on The Big Island of Hawaii during the summer of 2016. All images except Volcano/Coast shots taken on Mauna Kea.

A silhouette of an attractive naked man or woman would work much better. More natural. More primitive.

The man with the glow-toy is a distraction here. A torch would be better.

Gorgeous!! What are the chances of getting screen wallpaper sized versions of these? 1440 * 900 in my case. I have a folder of Space wallpaper, and your pics are nicer than almost any of the ones I have.

Awesome works; I tried to hit the upvote multiple times, sadly I can give only one upvote per picture :))
