The Southern sky in Namibia is amazing for astrophotography. I spent 2 weeks searching for different foregrounds and the total dark sky of Bortle 1 locations. The results are gorgeous. In spite of the chilling weather after dark and the risk of wildlife encountering, I enjoy every night of shooting. With the unique tree structures at Deadlei and the epic Quiver trees in the valley near Kanaan, I was immersed totally in these breathtaking scenes which I would tend to visit over and over again.
