During the onset of the Covid pandemic, I found myself in the United States of America for the first time. For a long time, I had desired to observe the night sky in Death Valley. I ventured out on March 7th at 4:00 in the morning to capture this photograph, composed of 8 shots of the sky and 8 shots of the ground later merged in post-production. What emerged was truly stunning; indeed, the signal of the Milky Way was incredibly strong and seemed to trace the shapes of the desert dunes in the Californian Death Valley.
My name is Maurizio Casula, I live in Sardinia, in a touristic town (Pula) with 7000 people. I’m born in Cagliari on 14th September 1985, and in 2002 I’d graduated in ad graphic on pc.
