I continue testing my new Canon EOS Ra astrophotography camera. There is nothing quite like a starry, quiet summer night — the Milky Way moving slowly across the sky while the landscape glows softly beneath it.
This photo was taken in Bethel, Sullivan County, New York, an area that became world-famous in 1969 when nearly 500,000 people gathered on Max Yasgur’s Farm for the legendary Woodstock Festival. Today, the region is peaceful, rural, and surprisingly good for astrophotography.
In the image you can see a small local pond reflecting the surrounding trees and several bright stars. Even though it was nighttime, the landscape appears illuminated enough to reveal the details of the trees and water — the only sign that it is truly night is the Milky Way arching above. This is a simple one-shot exposure, but it carries a calm atmosphere that reminds me of childhood fairy-tale stories.
