Outing Description: Let’s capture the sunset on the beach and stay for blue hour near the fort and some star photos. The sun sets at 7:54. We’ll be able to shoot the Galactic Center of Milky Way also around 9:25pm. You may want to go over earlier or stay later your own. (I probably will do both!) Note: We will NOT be entering the actual Fort. It is closed to the public after sundown.
IF THE WEATHER DOES NOT COOPERATE FOR NIGHT STARS, we will try for the next night, and the next, and the next…. Be sure to text or email me if you are interested so that I can update you with GO/NO GO news.
Difficulty Level: __X_ EASY ____MODERATE ____DIFFICULT
Where (meet up?): Meet at Langdon Beach at 7:00, Sunset is at 7:54PM. This will give us a chance to meet up and get ideas for different sunset scenes and then get to them for blue hour and sunset. If we split up, we’ll meet again by the fishing pier at 9:00 pm to see who is staying for stars/Milky Way.
Cost: National Seashore fee. Arrive before sundown when the gates close.
