Stefanie Harron - Space: A Photographic Journey 

Everyone is welcome to join the two artists for the free opening event beginning 7 pm on March 4 at the Kootenay Gallery of Art. The exhibitions continue on until April 16.

Castlegar residents may be familiar with Stefanie Harron’s photographs of local landscapes and animals. But Harron also turns her lens out into the night sky. The results are photos of constellations, comets and other astral phenomena. Harron’s photos have been published in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Sociey of Canada and Sky News magazine.

About her exhibition, Stefanie Harron says, “Space contains some favourite subjects and challenges for a photographer’s considerations.  There are “short” exposures of several seconds with a camera mounted on a tripod to multiple hour exposures with camera on a motorized equatorial mount.  If one decides to point one’s camera towards to night skies, the vastness of Space contains hundreds of thousands of subjects to photograph, from neighbouring galaxies, planetary nebula, emission nebula, comets and meteors.”
