Happy Sunday! Sophia of Photographias is hosting this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. In her post, she showed photos that illustrated the cycle of day and night. I’m not an avid night photographer because of my astigmatism, which renders me partially blind in the night hours, but I do hope to show a similar progression of the photos I took on my road trip.

#SundayStills: Out of this Amazing #World

Published on March 6, 2023March 5, 2023 by Yinglan14 Comments

I think the night sky is absolutely out of this world when getting to experience it with a camera. I shot this photo in my backyard in 2019 after all the lights were turned off in the house. When I saw the photo on the tiny screen of the camera, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What was that star that’s shining so bright?

I couldn’t see it with my naked eyes and haven’t gotten Photopill (a star tracker app) on my phone back then. If I had, I could’ve pointed the phone to the sky and it would’ve told me what star this was.

Aren’t night skies just the most amazing sight especially if seeing it through a camera?

I got some pretty interesting comments when I first posted this picture in 2015. I didn’t even see it at first but many reader saw the glare that looked like an alien spaceship. Do you see it?
