Wonders After Dusk

My journey into astrophotography began unexpectedly in the Medicine Bow Mountains of Wyoming. Driving through the dense wilderness, I was forced to stop as wildlife filled the road ahead. Settling in for the night, I reclined to rest and was met with a sight that changed everything—the Milky Way stretched gloriously across the sky, framed by the silhouette of the tree line. I couldn’t resist capturing it, even with no tripod and uncertain settings. That first shot, raw and unplanned, sparked an obsession. Every night holds hidden wonders, and through my lens, I strive to unveil the magic that emerges after dusk.
