In an instagram post, Derek wrote, ""KENYA SKY”. Photography has been a hobby of mine for the past decade. But tonight I think I captured my favorite Night shots to date."
He continued:
"The stars in Kenya are so clear you can see the Milky Way with your naked eye. I found myself tearing up at the vast beauty which was engulfing and surrounding me everywhere I looked. Since we are in Kenya, and in the middle of absolutely nowhere we had to have a guard with us to watch out for wildlife that might want to have us for a snack. That just added to the excitement of getting these pictures."
Derek explained, "Hayley had the red blanket so hopefully they would’ve gone for her first ;)jk. I posted a video showing the raw images on my camera because honestly I couldn’t believe the pictures myself, they looked fake and photoshopped.
Anyways, I was like a kid tonight. Felt like I was Experiencing the sky for the very first time. We truly live on a beautiful and magical planet. Many many more images and videos to come from our time here in Africa. Stay tuned."
