As long as I can remember I've always been afraid of the dark. A totally irrational fear, I know. But picking up a camera for the first time in 2020 has helped me overcome finally overcome my fear. Seeing all these amazing starscapes and always loving astronomy as a kid, I knew I wanted to try astrophotography. With a little push from my girlfriend, we went to a dark local spot with my camera and started shooting. All the time I was shooting I forgot about how dark it was because I was focusing on the camera/nightscape, asking my girlfriend to try different things with her torch. I'm forever thankful for that push and I can't wait to try more starscapes. I'm still working towards not being afraid of the dark without my camera for a distraction...
