"Dungeness at Night" was photographed on Cumberland Island, Coastal Georgia, in July 2018.

"Dungeness at Night" is a very rare photograph of the mansion ruins at night. For the same reason a sunset photograph here is rare, a night sky astro-photograph is even more rare. Again, you have to camp overnight on the island in order to capture this. From the campsite, it's a two mile hike to the Dungeness ruins. So, at least two miles of your four mile hiking trip is going to be at night. The tent camping overnight and the hiking at night will eliminate most photographers who are not willing to do so. Now, the number of actual photographers that can do good night photography is growing, but is also way less than the number of photographers who can do good daytime photography. Now, take this limited number of photographers willing to do all this and how many would be willing to walk about in this field at night in the pitch black darkness of night knowing there are wild horses in the field who also know you are there? So, all this adds up to a rare photograph which is why I wanted to capture it in the first place. 

However, capturing a rare photograph is not my only motivation. I like mixing something interesting and preferably old in the foreground with the Milky Way or the stars which are ancient. No matter what man made object you can put in the foreground, the age does not compare to the stars or the Milky Way and most of the time doesn't compare to it's glory either.

I think you will like this fine art photograph if you like history, Coastal Georgia, night photography, wild horses, or all of the above.
