I’ve always loved the Universe. Since I was a little kid I wanted to be an astronaut. As many other children of course.
In 2013 I’ve been to Egypt and went on a Safari trip, and when the Sun went down, we’ve had an apportunity to watch the stars through their huge telescope. We even saw Saturn very clearly. As if it were a picture.
The past few days I spent in our cottage in the mountains, and I’ve finally learned how to take pictures of the night sky. And it wouldn’t be me to not stay outside after 1 a.m., in a dress while it was only 7C, which is around 44F.
As you can see in the pictures with me in it, my arms are quite shaky, that’s because to take a picture, the longer the shutter is open, the more detail you have in it, which is needed while taking pictures of stars. Aka I stood awkwardly in front of the camera for about 20 to 30 seconds just for one photo.
And the light which looks like a shooting star, isn’t actually a shooting star but a satellite. There were many shooting stars in the sky, but they go by so quickly and when you’re taking picture for 30 seconds straight you are not able to capture one.
So these shots below are my captures from one night in the mountains.
