Milky Wave, the sweetness of milk.

The outstanding nature of Swiss Alps at its best, together with magnificent starry skies! What can be a better combination!

This image was shortlisted in the biggest astrophotography competition - Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021! It depicts how the beautiful Milky Way (Dark Horse nebula) and Rho Ophiuchi complex rise above the telescopes of a small observatory near Bern, Switzerland. To me, this scene reminds that even though people are largely restricted to Earth, nothing stops them from exploring the beauties of the universe.

Earlier this week, I made plans to head out to Banff to shoot sunrise followed by a quick jaunt to Moraine Lake. Then my partner pointed out to me that I might as well kill two birds with one stone and get there a bit early to shoot the Milky Way. I thought that sounded like a great idea until I rolled out of bed at 1.30am, with the goal of arriving in Banff with time to shoot the Milky Way for about 30 minutes before first light. I somehow made it up Mount Norquay by 3.30am and this was the scene that greeted me. Definitely worth the early start time!

How amazing is Bow Lake at night? The Milky Way lined up perfectly over Crowfoot Mountain on this night in late June. You wouldn't have guessed it from the blue in the sky, but this photo was actually taken after 1am; even though the sun sets, it is close enough to the northern horizon that the sky stays in a constant state of faint twilight at this time of year.

Of all the places I've ever shot the Milky Way, Bow Lake has to be one of my favourites. The wide open expanse of calm, reflective lake, the perfect line-up of the Milky Way and Crowfoot Mountain -- it's just the perfect place to spend a summer night (even if that summer night does dip down to 0ºC)!

The Milky Way above Beacons Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales

An amazing twist on the northern lights, spinning overhead mountains and a lake. Perfect for camping fireside drinks.

The spectacular Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) over Glyder Fawr in the Snowdonia National Park, Wales. The flash in an Iridium Flare from a communications satellite.

The reflection of Mount Rundle may have still been covered by the ice, but the spring melt meant that this starry night was perfectly reflected in Two Jack Lake for the first time in months.

Some nights do their best to discourage photographers from going out. On this night in June, I headed out to teach a night sky workshop only to be greeted with thick clouds across the entire sky. So, instead of teaching Milky Way photography, I taught the participants about capturing ultra-long exposures of streaky clouds, and then later, about light painting. Just as we were setting up for a few last light painting shots -- and right when I got out my camera to remote trigger a shot while light painting for the participants -- the clouds parted in front of the Milky Way. They stayed that way for 15 minutes before closing back up again. No one could really believe it, but they all agreed that they were happy I'd dragged them out rega...
