Yeah. It's February and freaking freezing here in New England, but I am looking ahead to the spring, specifically when the Milky Way arch is parading across the sky.
|
Come June, I will be heading to Acadia National Park. This is one of my favorite places to photograph the Milky Way. The skies are dark, and the foregrounds are dramatic. Tall pines and rugged shorelines are the trademark of DownEast Maine, and in Acadia National Park, they are on steroids.
|
At this time of year, it is still quiet and not quite inundated by park visitors (or, as a friend of mine calls them, "Waldos"). We’ll be photographing in and around Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island. This national park is a photographer's candy store. Beauty is everywhere you look, so come along for a photo tour through the alluring landscapes of picturesque New England.

Are we only chasing stars on this tour? Not quite. Reflections, intentional camera movement (ICM), botanical gardens, elusive owls, and more await.
|
Some of you requested flexible dates; you can now pick either a 5-day, 4-night tour or a 3-day, 2-night tour.

Here are a few captures from past tours.

Milky Way above, stillness below. Some nights just feel eternal.

Following the tour, we will have an online post-processing session and image review.

All photographers, from beginners to pros, are welcome.
