Jennifer Livingston - Artists Post 15

Ben Canales



1) In an interview Ben Canales talks about his approach to night photography. He uses a combination of Stellurium, and Darkskyfinder.com when researching places. Canales prefers to use a 24 mm lens, and will often shoot in the summertime when the milky way is at is brightest. Something else that he brings with him when he takes night shots is hand warmers, and a tripod. He has a pair of hand warmers for himself, as well as to wrap around the camera so it doesn't fog up.

2) Each of the three images done by Canales are all night shots of the night sky. He uses a wide lens to get as much of the scene as possible. I particularly like the first and last because his tent adds a pop of yellow-orange. To add light into an image he will use a head lamp or even a lantern.

3) I enjoy the images that Canales has taken, as well as his advice for starting photographers just getting into night photography. He gives plenty of tips and techniques. Such as using hand warmers around the lens of the camera so it doesn't fog up. I probably wouldn't have thought to use them for the camera.
