The beautiful colors of her images give them both a mysterious and familiar look at the same time. She created this beautiful timelapse below with the Sony Alpha 7R III and the Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master and says, “This was taken by combining a timelapse of the Milky Way with a blue hour foreground and a dash of light inside the arch. This technique allows me to capture all the detail of the landscape with minimal use of light painting.” Follow her for more beautiful astrophotography, timelapse and video.
