I have a huge passion for capturing the night sky, especially the Milky Way and everything beyond. There’s nothing quite like seeing our galaxy in vivid detail. Especially the colors, the structure, and the sense of scale. When you visit a dark sky park, the lack of light pollution reveals a sky that feels pure and untouched. It becomes a deep, inky black canvas dotted with countless stars. Look up long enough, and it almost feels like you’re floating. I always recommend lying on your back and just staring straight up—it’s an experience that stays with you.

When I head out to capture nightscapes, I usually bring my Sony cameras along—they’re perfect for ultra-long exposures and stacking multiple frames to bring out extra detail. A few key factors help me get these results: fast f/2.8 lenses, a high-resolution sensor, and low read noise. I’m currently shooting with the Sony a7R III and a7R V. The “R” stands for “Resolution”—the mark III offers 42 megapixels, while the mark V bumps that up to 61 megapixels. If you're looking to explore dark sky locations for your own night photography, you can find the nearest dark sky park [here].
