Jaxson Pohlman is a talented self-taught photographer and artist from Wichita, Kansas. He says his interest in astrophotography came from spending most of his life in the Great Plains of Kansas, where the Milky Way is often visible to the naked eye. Many of Pohlman’s photos are what he calls composite dreamscapes – a merging of astrophotography and landscapes. You can read a bit about how he combines the two here. The results are truly are some of the most incredible photographs I’ve ever seen. What an impressive gallery exhibit they would make!
See the bottom of this post for a tutorial by Pohlman on his Photoshop process. I love that he’s so open and willing to share his methods!

Oh. My. I was out last night with the camera and the night sky…learning how to make it all work. I have too much light in my backyard to really do this there, but I learned a lot about moving things on the camera by feel, and what settings might work. Plus I got to see one really beautiful shooting star (no photo, just me gasping!). This guys stuff is really really beautiful and makes me want to pack up the car and head out into the wild to look at the sky.

I felt exactly the same! The lights of the city are pretty, but they can’t hold a candle (see what I did there?) to a real night sky. I’m glad to hear you’re working on your astrophotography. Good luck!

My favorite is the one with the man standing in the water. Or at least it looks like he is standing in the water. The one with the water and the meteorite is also a killer. I think I will follow him on instagram. Pity he doesn’t do wordpress, I spend more time here.

I spend more time here, too, but everyone I meet tells me that Instagram is the way to go. If only there were an easy way to auto-post from WordPress onto Instagram. Makes me crazy!

I just discovered something about fb that might help. I wanted to change an item on my profile, and found that I can now add other social sites to my fb account – including my twitter and instagram! I have no idea if this means that my fb posts will go to instagram. My wp posts are set to flow to fb. Will let you know!

That’s not my link. That’s a link generated by WordPress. Your comment appears with one for me, too. No idea what it’s for. I’ve learned to read past them.
