The Milky Way has long captured photographer’s hearts — and been captured itself. Shooting it, or even landing the right conditions to, is no easy feat, though. So, when photographer slash iOS developer Guillermo Gutierrez saw the opportunity to do so, he grabbed it. Or should we say, his wife did (literally)! The photographer shared […]

Mountains are magical and majestic — justly, often featuring in equally fantastical sci-fi and fantasy movies and TV series. You know, like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
