“Once the sun goes down, the world looks entirely different,” said Pat Worley, president of Twilight Blue Photography, in regard to her latest exhibit, “Dusk ‘till Dawn.” The reception for this exhibit will be held on March 27 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Ameriprise Financial, Hansen Warner Gallery located at 6 South Main Street in Medford.
The exhibit showcases Worley’s award winning photos taken during her favorite time to shoot, the night. This past year, Worley visited some of the darkest skies in the world including the Salt Flats of Uyuni in Bolivia, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Tetons, among others. These locations are known to have the cleanest and purest skies in the world, and have allowed Worley to capture breathtaking astrophotography images. “Dusk ‘till Dawn” features two photographs of the full arc of the Milky Way from opposing perspectives — one from the northern hemisphere and the other from the southern.
The exhibit is not all astrophotography. Worley has also captured the moments before and after the stars come out to play. An image of Medford Lakes during the blue hour after the sun goes down, known as twilight, depicts a scene from Canoe Carnival and captures the energy of the crowd on the lake as night falls. Another image shows the most southern tip of South America illuminated in pastel colors for just a few tranquil moments before the sun rises.
The exhibit also features two images of Philadelphia at night that will soon be part of the permanent collection in the Penn Presbyterian Pavilion for Advanced Care in Philadelphia.
There will be refreshments at the reception and the event is free. For more information contact Pat Worley at www.TwilightBluePhotography.com.
