This image was taken after I returned from the 2023 Nightscaper Conference in Kanab, Utah, and upon receipt of my astro-modified Canon R6 camera. I met up with another nightscape photography friend outside of Weed, CA at the Living Memorial Sculpture Garden to photograph some of the giant sculptures against the night sky. We were challenged with the lighting of the statues but that was just the first challenge. The post-processing of a modified camera was also a little intimidating but I think I succeeded with this image. The statue is titled, “The Coming Home” and depicts a couple embracing when the soldier returns from war.
