In this composited image of an Astro reflection, I wanted to depict how we may be feeling about the current worldwide situation and our need to reflect on certain concepts. Whenever we aim our camera to the night sky we face two major obstacles: 1) the light reaching us from the stars is very dim, so we need to take long exposures, but... 2) The earth is spinning! So if we take really long exposures, beyond certain limits, the stars begin to trail and will show as little lines instead of pinpoint stars.

Heading out to Chicago but don’t know where to shoot? After exploring the city for 2 months, I have put together a 4 part series on the best photography locations in Chicago which include Classic Locations, Waterways and Boats, CDOT Trains and Parking Lots, and Alternative Chicago spots.

I’ve also included a few tips, the gear I used, and how to get to each location through Google Maps.
