As an astrophotographer, I'm always looking for new challenges, especially with wild animals, as it's rarely done and very difficult. In this case, I have never seen a sequence of a turtle under the milky way using no hard light painting or anything. In 2019, I was walking on that beach near Waikoloa beach drive on Big island Hawai'i in the afternoon and spotted many sea turtles coming to shore to rest. I waited until dark to see if the turtles would still be there to try and photograph them. To my surprise, they were! So, I walked calmly towards one and stayed at the recommended distance not to disturb it. In this case, I really wanted to keep the natural light and not use light painting to avoid disturbing the animal. The turtle stayed still for about 2 hours, which allowed me to take an extraordinary sequence with the milky way. During the days, Green sea turtles graze in the shallow and beach themselves in the afternoon and early evening to chill and digest!
