Church Under the Stars

After months of planning, and waiting for the weather to be clear I finally got the shots I have dreamed about for months. After driving to the church, I set up for the shot and waited for it to get dark. Using a remote I took timed exposures for a set amount of time while listening to the coyotes howl nearby and watching the stars pass overhead. So after a very sleepless night, I came away with what I consider to be my best shot to date. This is only the beginning, I have plans of going back and photographing different areas of the park at night. Only time will tell how successful my venture will be, but I’m up for the adventure.
