Join Ian Norman on an astrophotography adventure in the Eastern Sierra in this short film.
Earlier this year, I traveled to Alabama Hills, California to capture the Perseid Meteor Shower. Like any astrophotography trip, I struggled to decide how to pack for the trip. What is the best way to approach shooting the stars when we only have a night or two before we need to leave? I think astrophotography should be more about the experience than about the photos we take and that’s what this film is all about.
