S e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 5 4 7 Passions AAronPriest Photographic artist Aaron Priest captures all the light the rest of us cannot see. M eet Aaron Priestthe Lee- based photographer known for his stellar high-resolution panoramas and timelapses. With 18 years of professional experience his work has been featured everywhere from Space.com to CBS News see Summerguide 2015 page 79. Here we ask him to take us behind the curtain. How do you sneak up on the stars Planning practice and patience The more work you put in before shooting the easi- er the post-processing is after. Both panora- mas and timelapses require shooting a lot of photos before rendering them on the com- puter later. How do you know when youre in the groove The night sky feels much more alive to me than the day although I love shooting both. From stars and planets to satellites and the International Space Station theres just so much activity in the sky at night that we cant see during the day. The only time I dont like is harsh mid-afternoon light. My favorite subjects are the colors of the sky when the sun is low for sunrises and sunsets and particularly the Milky Way at night. Its usually a year or two after Im done with an image that I can actually see it for the first time. Those are the ones that be- come my favorite for a little while. When things really click I think of Psalm 19 from The Complete Jewish Bible The heavens declare the glory of God the dome of the sky speaks the work of his hands. Every day it utters speech every night it reveals knowledge. What about the Maine landscape inspires you I was born and grew up in Maine. My grand- father David Priest was a trapper and a game warden. My parents took my broth- er and me camping every summer. From the potato fields of Aroostook County to the rocky coastline to Mt. Katahdin and the woods in between I love whats wild about Maine. I rarely venture southwest into more populatedareasaslightpollutionfromcities at night obscures the stars and Milky Way. interview by becca carifio Its usually a year or two after Im done with an image that I can actually see it for the first time.
