Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!
Milky Way photography by Grey Chow
It’s unfortunate that I haven’t seen that many beautiful natural sites. I’ve been to lovely beaches and seen the amazing rock formations in Thailand. I still want to visit the pink beaches in Australia and of course see the Northern Lights twinkling overhead. But when I see something like the Milky Way photography by Grey Chow, I am reminded to get out there more and visit more of these naturally wondrous places. His photographs capture the gorgeous stars in the most beautiful colors. They also contrast wonderfully with the buildings or towns that he visits. His website lists some great spots for seeing the Milky Way in Malaysia. I wish I had known this when I previously visited Kota Kinabalu. It’s time to go back and hopefully catch the Milky Way!
Otherwise, this weekend I am…
…going to yet another birthday party for the little lady’s friend. Seriously, we have so many parties during the WEEK and weekend. But I’m also taking one day to do some volunteer work with an organization I’ve wanted to help for a while. I’ll be reviewing business plans and presentations from budding entrepreneurs. I hope I can provide some good feedback and help someone work towards their dreams.
What are you up to this weekend?
Have a lovely weekend!
Oh wow you are right, his photography is breath taking what wonderful captures!

What beautiful photos! 🙂 I’ve seen some nice beaches in Australia but there are many more – I think that’s the beauty of nature, there’s always something different to uncover!
Hope you are having a nice weekend 🙂

Another important factor to consider when planning to shoot the Milky Way is what phase the Moon is in and its position in the sky. Light from the Moon will wash out the Milky Way and the surrounding sky, giving your image less contrast. For best results, plan your shoot when the moon is in a waning or new stage.
Thank you for the tip! That definitely makes sense to shoot the Milky Way when the moon is in a waning stage. Lighting is always crucial to the best photos.
