David Skernick resides in Woodland Hills, California, with his wife, Ria, and dog, Dudley. He spends as much time as possible traveling, photographing, and teaching workshops along the back roads of America.
nbsp;“Photographers Skernick (Back Roads of the Pacific Northwest) and Valente detail the ins and outs of photographing the night sky in this concise and informative manual. Without fancy gear (any mirrorless camera, a few lenses, and a ‘good, sturdy’ tripod will do), readers can capture bewitching shots of nighttime spectacles . . . While the technical tips serve as an excellent starting point for novices, the authors also make clear that passion and patience are key to astrophotography, and that it needn’t be a solo pursuit: they ‘recommend you find a friend to join you in your quest for night sky photographs.’ It’s an ideal resource for aspiring shutterbugs eager to take on a new challenge.” -- Publishers Weekly
