I've been trying to get photos of the stars at night and I can't seem to get the settings right. Beautiful photo.
I lost my son a little over 3 years ago. I had a dream about a year after he died, where he came to me and said, "I want to show you something". In my dream, we drove to a place, at night, where you could see the stars. He showed me a beautiful galaxy. I remember the colors were blue, pink, purple--just amazingly beautiful. My son told me the name of the galaxy, but I couldn't remember the name when I woke up.
A couple of days later, I ran across a Twitter post from a Lakota Native American that I follow. The post described how Lakota believe that the stars give a spirit to a person at birth, and that spirit stays with them during their life on earth. The star assigned at birth is called a Wanagi. When a person passes, their spirit travels back to their home through the Milky Way.
I've wondered if that dream was my son trying to show me he was ok, and show me where he is now. The galaxy is my dream was indescribably beautiful, and I had never envisioned a galaxy as having different colors until my son showed me in my dream.
Anyway, I've been trying to get photos of the stars ever since, driving to areas where it's dark and you can actually see them. But I can't seem to get the settings right.
