I'm really trying to get some solid astrophotography shots to share with you, but as you might know, it's not exactly easy. The conditions have to be just right, and they simply haven’t been cooperating lately.

I’ve been chasing a solid Milky Way photo for a while—planning trips, then having to cancel them

There was a time when I was obsessed with HDR photography. It was (and in some circles still is) hugely popular, but I've mostly moved on. Modern digital cameras now have excellent dynamic range straight out of the camera, so the need for heavy HDR processing isn't as strong as it once was.
