For the camera support, I used a Gigapan Epic Pro panorama mount and a Monoprice Carbon Fiber tripod. When the Milky Way had reached the right elevation, I lead them to a spot I had picked out before they arrived and asked them to stand there while I set up my camera equipment.įor this shoot, I used a Nikon D750 DSLR equipped with an Optolong L-Pro light pollution filter and Nikon 20mm f1.8G lens. We practiced holding the pose for a while until it was time to shoot. The groom would be tasked with holding the light. This would give an illusion that they are "leaning into the picture". Tilt their heads upwards and stretch their arms out at 45 degrees. Put their weight on their left leg and slightly lean forward, and point the heal of their right foot towards the sky. I got them to stand in the right pose and angled both their bodies 45 degrees to the left with their backs towards the camera. The couple arrived at the location at 8pm to do some practice and test shots. The couple decided on the Pinnacles.Īs the Milky Way season starts to peak from the month of May, the core rises earlier on in the night and reaches my desired elevation for the composition at around 9:30pm.
I ended picking either the Lancelin Sand Dunes or the Pinnacles Desert, both around 2 hrs North of Perth, both with easy access using any vehicle. We had to take into account that we had to be in a suitably dark location (typically 1.5 - 2 hrs out of the city), and that both the bride and groom would be wearing their wedding attires which could possibly hinder movement, thus ruling out uneven terrain. Having traveled along the western coast of Australia quite a bit, I picked out two suitable locations in consideration of the logistics of the shoot. I couldn't say no to the request and started thinking about some locations and compositions. He asked that I not only document the wedding, but also do an Astro-Wedding shot for their wedding photo at a later time. This image started to take shape when a mate of mine, Ashley Lam, asked me to be the photographer for his wedding. But if you break it down into a methodical workflow, capturing this image might be easier than it seems. As a whole, the image looks complicated to capture and, to and extent, that is true. It took 17 minutes to capture the entire image and a very brave couple to endure the 12 degree coastal breeze in their summer wedding dress. We operate the Geo Knight DK20S and DK25S for metal prints up to 16" x 24".This is a 40-frame panorama capturing a newly wedded couple exploring the ancient Pinnacles Desert under the pristine West-Australian night sky.
Our new dye sublimation process for metal prints requires heat process. Our laminators are both SEAL a 44" ultra hot roll laminator and 62" Base cold roll machine. Printers are Epson 9900 44", Epson 3880 17", Epson 4880 Dye Sublimation 17", and Epson 1430 13" Dye Inkset. Scanning is accomplished with the Epson V750 Pro. OnOnes PhotoSuite 8 and Nik Collection are my most-used plugins. Autopano Giga 3.0 for panoramic and Photomatix Pro for HDR work. Post processing is accomplished with Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.3.

We have recently renovated our cabinetry showroom into a combination furniture showroom and Canvas Gallery.
Since then I have upgraded my Nikon camera equipment and have honed my printing skills via workshops with Nature Photographer John Shaw, master printer Andrew Darlow, and the Epson Print Academy. While there, I was bitten with the photography bug. In 1987, I started a new business, Bergs Craftsmanship In Wood, handcrafting custom furniture and built-in cabinetry throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.Ī 2005 trip to Yellowstone National Park changed me in a profound way. In 1977, my brother Tom and I started Berg Brothers Logging, cutting saw timber and veneer logs throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. My 35 year background as a corporate pilot has afforded me the time to pursue other business interests.
