Process
Conceptualization and Planning: Collaborate with Lunar Stories to define the vision and objectives for the "Cosmix" project. Outline the desired celestial phenomena to capture, such as star trails, the Milky Way, and planetary alignments. Plan the photoshoot schedule around optimal viewing conditions and celestial events.
Location Scouting: Identify and scout locations with minimal light pollution and clear, unobstructed views of the night sky. Consider national parks, remote countryside areas, and high-altitude locations to ensure the best possible conditions for night sky photography. Obtain any necessary permits for shooting in these locations.
Equipment Preparation: Gather and prepare all necessary photography equipment, including high-resolution cameras, wide-angle lenses, sturdy tripods, and remote shutter releases. Ensure all equipment is tested and ready for extended nighttime use. Bring along additional gear such as star trackers and portable power sources to enhance the shoot.
Photoshoot Execution: Travel to the selected locations and set up the equipment. Use long exposure techniques to capture the intricate details of the night sky. Experiment with different compositions, including foreground elements like mountains, trees, or water bodies, to add depth and context to the celestial scenes. Continuously monitor weather conditions and adjust settings to achieve the best results.
Post-Production Editing: Review and select the best shots from the photoshoot for further editing. Utilize professional editing software to enhance the clarity, contrast, and color balance of the images. Focus on bringing out the details of the stars, Milky Way, and other celestial objects. Ensure that the final images align with the "Cosmix" project's vision and quality standards set by Lunar Stories.
