Christopher Forden, The Astrophotographer (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

As an army veteran, I found it hard to find an activity that helped reduce stress and brought me happiness at the same time. It was not until I met Jason who introduced me to Astrophotography and shooting the night sky, that I knew I found the hobby and activity for me. Being out under the night sky has given me more benefits than any medication has been able to provide since I discharged. I look forward to actually getting out and spending a few nights under the stars. I took this image in Lake Tyrrell, Victoria, where Jason and I spent a few nights exploring and shooting under the stars. this image is a stack of 6 Photographs at 15 second exposure time.
