Chris Burkard Instagram – Only there for a season, this little hut in the Swiss alps gave us some of the most perfect conditions for capturing the Milky Way – with almost zero light pollution and little disturbance of any kind. Even with ideal conditions- choosing the right lens is essential for shooting the night sky. I typically aim for something wide with a shallow depth of field to allow in as much light as possible while showing landscape or structures along with the stars… my favorite being the 20mm f/1.8 @sonyalpha Prime G Lens. I love little huts like these because they allow us to spend time in nature with protection from the elements with a 5-star view…. Thanks to the ingenuity of Swiss architects. Access to this one still wasn’t easy – we hiked several miles through a lot of elevation gain to spend time there during a shoot for Onrunning in 2019… the fact that it wasn’t going to be there forever made it feel a little extra special and I’m grateful I spent a couple of nights out there.
