    1. Thanks Stephanie! Oh gosh, this was taken during a trans-Pacific flight (at this point I think we were over Alaska). I am pretty sure I was half delirious and mostly still dreaming as I watched the sun rise and snapped away obnoxiously with my camera hahahah.

    1. I have a whole story about the stars. My friends and I decided to drive a couple hours out onto the mountain top. There we lay down on an observation tower and waited for the clouds to clear up and the moon to set. It was a really magical kind of place. Dead silent, foggy, magnificent.

  6. i LOVE that last photo of the stars, i've tried to take photos like that before but i've never been in a place with so little artificial light that it's actually turned out good enough. and the one of the clouds out the plane window is beautiful too.

    1. Thanks Jessica! Right, you have to drive out REALLY far if you want to see that hahha. There is a good light pollution map that I use to figure out where those locations are: http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/

    1. Hey Moira, I am glad you liked the pictures! I did use a digital camera (Nikon D7000) and a 50 mm lens. The settings i used were: exposure 30 seconds, f-stop 1.8, iso 1000. Hope that helps!

    2. thank you for the help, i wrote it down in my phone for when i get the chance to catch a clear night sky (doesn't happen that often here in Ireland). i never thought you could do that with a 50mm!
      Your words and pictures are so touching, hope your heart doesn't get too heavy, hugs x

  15. I really hate it how sometimes we all witness a spectacular and majestic view, like a mountain range that goes on for miles and miles and miles, but can never capture how grand it is with a camera. Your photos though, I almost feel like I'm standing at the peak of the mountains and feeling like a dwarf. You have no idea how much I admire your photography. Hope to hear again from you soon :)

    1. No I completely agree - even though I am very happy with my current camera...there is something ELSE about a landscape that just doesn't let itself be captured. I think that is why I love mountains so much.
