In the second trip of what has become an annual kick-off to Milky Way season, we partake in an all-night adventure to Acadia National Park. Packing the car with every camera we own, we venture several hours up the coast of Maine to Acadia National Park and set-up at the end of the park loop next to Boulder Beach overlooking the Otter Cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. Last year we had a hard time getting our bearings in the dark but this year we were more familiar with the lay of the land and upon arrival, we got straight to work photographing the stars. With the open ocean occupying the space between us and the horizon, plus the fact that the region has light pollution restrictions, this is the darkest sky we've ever photographed in Maine and the stars are absolutely stunning. Every year the Earth's axis rotates so the Milky Way disappears behind the horizon for the winter months, but come spring, the angles all begin to line up again and late March or early April is when it all begins to kick off! It's a lot of work staying up for 24 hours, driving 5-6 hours and shooting in the cold and dark for 6 hours, but it's worth every minute to be there under that sky, cameras in hand. For anyone thinking of venturing to Bar Harbor for a photography mission, do your research, plan properly and you will be greatly rewarded! If you have any questions about timing or locations, hit us up, we'd love to talk photography anytime!
