How Small We Really Are
How Small We Really Are, the night skies have been amazing these last couple of weeks. Yesterday morning I decided to try something different. I drove out to a lake to view the Milky Way, a place where light noise almost doesn’t exist. I went out there at 3:00 am. When I turned the light off on my jeep, I was stunned at what I could not see.
I could not even see my hands in front of my face it was so dark, I had my hand on the side of my jeep and then I looked up. These photos only show a small glimpse of the millions of stars before my eyes. I did have a flash light with so I could walk to the edge of the lake and set up my camera. You could see the Milky way with your eyes, I felt so small. I can’t even wrap my brain around the thought of how big the universe might be. But I did not feel alone, His presence was bigger than what my eyes and heart could see.
I did take video also and put it on my You Tube channel so if you would like to see it, this is the link; The Milky Way and Shooting Stars. It is a little longer than most of my videos because I talk about the settings I use on my camera as well.
I only have about a 3 hour window to view the Milky Way which allows me to take about 70 photos and the videos are only a few seconds long because of the long shutter speed needed to capture the lights of the stars. I use a 10 second shutter speed for video with a DSLR camera and 30 sec shutter speed if I am using the go pro camera.
This photo below is blue hour when the sun was starting to shine its light over the lake.
