NIGHT OF THE CAMELS
When doing astrophotography, it’s very common to struggle with light pollution. On Olli Sorvari's last trip to Morocco, they decided to make sure there would be no light pollution to bother us, so they headed to Merzouga Dunes, in the Sahara Desert.
It was kind of a long shot because it can easily get windy in the Sahara, and sand storms are common during that time of the year. As the evening went on, they roamed around the dunes trying to figure out the possible foreground for the night image.
At three o’clock, they woke up and snuck out of our tent, and the views they were facing were something from out of this world. He had never seen such a crisp and detailed starry sky, where everything looked so three-dimensional, almost as if you could reach the stars.
