I've been fascinated by astrophotography for like ever. I thought I needed an expensive camera to be able to do it, so I never tried to learn. Turns out Its quite simple, you can basically use your iPhone if you wanted to. Download the app Slow Shutter for long exposures, and Photo Pills for all your galactic data. Grab a tripod and you're set. I wont' get into any details on how to-- Because Lonely Speck is a great resource if you're interested in learning. Check em out. 

Here are some photos taken with my Panasonic Lumix G7 w/ the 12-35mm f2.8 lens. Taken during sunset, and 4am when the milky way was at it's highest point. Enjoy !

Shout out to my homie Henry Wu for capturing Bentley and I gazing into the sunset. Check him out on IG. P.S congrats on winning the Alite Photo Contest.
