It derives its name from the luminous yellow-white supergiant star, Sadr, which graces its core. This celestial marvel is situated within the expansive Cygnus Constellation and resides a staggering 1800 light-years away from our home planet.Regrettably, the pervasive light pollution in and around the Luton area obscures much of the nocturnal heavens from our view.

    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
