Sample itinerary
For our night sky photography field sessions, will be photographing the magnificent dark night skies at Fayette Historic townsite (now well preserved a ghost town) in Garden, Michigan.
Our lodge where we will be staying is only 15 mins! away from this rather remote location of Fayette, which will allow us maximum opportunity to get great photographs there both day and night.
The standing ruins as well as the restored buildings of the townsite provide for endless subject matter and lend themselves well to creative night sky compositions. (refer to pics on this page for reference).
There are wonderful night sky opportunities in all directions here for both creative aurora photos facing north should the aurora occur, as well as Milky Way with the core setting in the SW this time of year.
We will be using low level lighting to illuminate our photographs. Hopefully we will get a favorable aurora forecast and have a chance to photograph the ever-elusive northern lights as well. Nights are getting longer, and we will be able to get started much earlier with the night sky field sessions than in summer months.
Early October is prime for the odds of seeing the aurora; I have witnessed some of the strongest events during this time.
We will be visiting lighthouses and other scenic locations for great photographs at during the day. There should be an abundance of autumn color this time of year and we may also take a scenic drive on
Hwy NF 13 through the Hiawatha National Forest and stop at a couple lakes should the foliage be popping with color.
A complete itinerary will be sent out upon registration.
