The 1st photo of the milkyway in 2020 - La 1ère photo de la voie lactée en 2020

I don't know where to start to describe this photo, I'm so happy with the result and so glad to share with y'all 🤩 Last week I text my man @calasmico asking if he's up for a crazy adventure and of course he said YES, Let's go! Using @Photopills I learned that the first time the Milkyway is going to be visible near Montreal is January 22nd so I checked for the nearest day when the weather is clear and found out that it will visible for few mins. So I took an afternoon nap, then woke up at 1 am, packed my stuff, picked up @calasmico and off we go, the weather was cold af(-25 C)! But we don't care, we have clear skies and a MilkyWay to hunt 🏹 We arrived at our location and managed to set up just before the Milkyway core starting rising above the horizon, it was just perfect! A few hours later, we were back at our daytime jobs, daydreaming about the next adventure. I tell you, in 2020 it's all about adventures, so who wants to join me next time?

The Milkyway Arch 🌌 🌈

The Milkyway Arch 🌌 🌈 ————————————————————— On Thursday June 27th 2019 I asked my boss for a day off & booked a flight for Colorado. After 12 hours and 2 hours of connections, I arrive to the hostel in Gunnison. After stopping the car, I knew it, I knew that I was going to shoot tonight. I directly browsed the nearby dark locations & found Hartman Rocks, a public campground that is only 10 mins away from me. Arriving there, I was in shorts & tshirt; In my mind it's going to be hot there, but in reality it was around 5 degrees celius. I didn't even had any jacket with me, silly me. I found a towel in my bag and so I wrapped myself with it. I started finding a good frame & at some point I saw an opportunity for a panorama. I started taking the required shots. Shoot, Rotate, Repeat, Tilt, Shoot, Rotate, Repeat... After merging all these 32 shots together, I created this panorama. It's not what I was expecting but I'm still happy with this result. I can't wait to be back to Colorado, Who wants to join?

Energetic night ✨💨

Nature is so powerful! I loved that night near Riviere du Loup. We were hearing the wind turbines spinning nonstop to generate power. It's amazing how much we have energy next to us. This is a 16 photo stitched panorama that was shot back in June 2018

Les loups

Hiked for couple hours on a trail called 'Les Loups" to reach this viewpoint

Montréal love lights!

Trouvaille (noun) Something lovely found by chance.

16 July 2017, after camping in Mont Mégantic, QC, and coming back to Montreal, I headed back towards Mont Mégantic. We arrived there, but the sky quickly changed from being clear to become cloudy, we were sad, we decided to call it a night and head back to Montréal. On the way back, I stopped next to a bridge where I remember seeing some cows, I wanted to see if they're still there, however, looking up, I saw that sky was super clear and just facing me, I saw the Milkyway clear and bright! I started walking towards the bridge, then I saw this awesome reflection and I took this panorama. I wished there were no power cables in that area, I could use photoshop to remove them, but in my opinion, they should stay... That was a Trouvaille!

Chasing that milkyway

Sweet memories!

I remember driving on that road, hiking up the hill, to find this lighthouse, then searching for a good location to take a photo. I found a parking lot not so far, then drove there when it became dark. Some fishermen were there, they disappeared into the ocean searching for fish. Panorama shot, in Oahu, Hawaii showing the milky way, the Makapuu Point Lighthouse, the shore and some fishermen.

Panorama at Rawdon

Spent some time rotating and tilting to capture some photos and stitch them into this 360° photo
