Do you have a dream…

Photo Caption: Do you have a dream shot? What is it?? For a few years now, I’ve wanted to shoot a photo of my two passions, guns with the Milky Way… but the size and depth difference made it seem like an unattainable goal… until last night at the @big_sandy_shoot where the send tracers and flares into the night sky from full auto machine guns… and I can’t believe it’s my 1st time going!! Long story short, my friend Cameron had this full-auto 50 cal out there and the Milky Way had this perfect alignment so I took full advantage of it!

I shot layers upon layers from one tripod location to make this… 12 for the sky, 10 for the gun, 1 for the fireworks, and one when he shot out of the Ma Deuce for the flare on the barrel.. I used my new Lume Cube 2 (use TRACYLEE10 at LumeCube.com to get 10% off and free shipping) to bounce light for the foreground.
