Shooting the Milkey Way in Ashland NH

My buddy Eric and his daughter were going to up north to take some star photos in Ashland NH and invited me to join them.

He had scoped out a few locations up there. We started out in a cemetery. I was surprised at how many graves had lights on them. I have never seen that before.

When we got there we all split up a bit to get some shots. We could see the milky way starting to rise above the surrounding trees.

I got a few shots of it but nothing that really stood out to me. Eric got some great shots with  graves in them.

I set up for a star trail photo that came out ok but I’ve done better. After a while we packed things up and went down to the Blair Bridge. A beautiful, covered bridge that is lit up at night.

I climbed down the embankment to get a few shots looking up at the bridge that ok. We didn’t stay long after that.

This was a fun little excursion. Even though I didn’t get many shots, it is always a good time hanging out with friends.
