A few years ago I didn't know about the Milky Way. A few years ago I wouldn't have dared to go alone outside in the middle of the night. Now I'm usually alone out in the nights and I really enjoy it, even if sometimes it can be scary.

I have been photographing the stars for almost 4 years and still today every time I'm out it feels like it's the first time. I find it really fascinating that I can capture the stars, the Milky Way and the Northern lights with my camera!

Here are some night images that I have captured in Finland. Finland is a big country so sometimes I have to drive many hours away from my hometown to get to the place I want. After the shooting, I usually sleep in the car. Also many times it can be really hard to shoot during the winter as in Finland the weather can be really harsh.

These pictures are stunning. And I, too, used to look up and marvel at the densely-packed Milky Way back when I lived out in the country and could see it much more clearly. To look at them and wonder at the life that might exist out there and what they might be doing.

And then there are antionalists ... (At first, I almost corrected the accidental misspelling, but then I realised what a neat way of taking the destructive bastard down to size it was. Probably my new favourite way of spelling that word!)

    We are so tiny and unimportant, like a speck of fly dirt in comparison with the grandness of the wee, tiny little Milky Way, itself just like a miniscule smudge in the universe.

    As he looks up someone also looks down.

    The tent ruins the pic. It might be ok as a personal souvenir, as if you make a selfie there, but not to the others.

    I like the sky but that odd human figure drps all the magic. I'd crop it above him.

    It looks breathtakingly beautiful. As a beginner in star photography, i can only guess how much time, work and passion was put in these pictures. Thank you for sharing your art.
