Get Ready for the Best Meteor Shower of the Year ☄️✨

Next week, many of us will have the chance to witness two incredible astronomical events on the same day: the Total Solar Eclipse and the Perseid Meteor Shower. It’s a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss.

If you’ve ever wanted to capture meteors or create breathtaking nightscape images, I’ve just released my Meteor Shower Course, available as a standalone course until August 12. It’s also included in the Masterclass Ultimate Bundle.

Interested?
Check the link in my bio or send me a DM.

Good luck to everyone chasing the Perseids—I hope you all get crystal-clear skies! 🌌🤞

2026 MILKY WAY PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 🏆

I’m truly honored to be featured once again in the Milky Way Photographer of the Year 2026 ✨

Being part of this list alongside so many incredible talents from all around the world means a lot.
Huge thanks to @capturetheatlas and the entire team for what you’ve built over the years. MWPOTY has inspired an entire generation of nightscape photographers.

Night photography has evolved so much. With new techniques and more powerful gear, it’s becoming more accessible than ever… and the level keeps rising every single year.

As the creator of Banger of the Day/Week/Month/Year, I’ve seen hundreds of mind-blowing images so I can only imagine how difficult it must be for Dan and the CTA team to select just a few. Massive respect for that.

Congrats to all the photographers featured this year 👏
And to those who didn’t make it this time, don’t stop. Your moment is coming.

The French Riviera has another side after dark✨

Between the red rocks and the stars, a familiar landscape becomes something otherworldly.

Long exposures and careful processing reveal colors and details our eyes can’t see at night. That’s what keeps drawing me back to nightscape photography.

Swipe for a closer look. Which composition draws you in most:
the road leading toward the stars, or the view between the rocks?

The Galaxy Next Door 🌌

Last month, I made the most of one of our few clear nights to head back into the mountains-with a composition I'd had in mind for a while.

This well-known mountain refuge felt like the perfect foreground for the Milky Way. The skies didn't stay clear all night, so I couldn't capture everything I'd planned, but finally bringing this image to life felt special.

Swipe for a closer look at the nebulae and dust lanes above the roof.

Would you stay here for a night? ✨

Until Next Summer, Milky Way ✨

The summer Milky Way is fading from our evening skies, and I’m already missing those warm nights spent chasing its bright core. Every season under the stars feels too short.

Now it’s time for colder nights, Orion, and a whole new sky to explore. I’m ready for it ❄️

Swipe through the summer with me. Which image is your favourite? ✨

Capturing the Milky Way is only the beginning. Learn how to bring out its incredible detail. 🌌

Swipe to see the starting point—and what a complete processing workflow can reveal.

I’m Anthony Lopez, a nightscape photographer based in France. After more than 10 years photographing the night sky, I’ve built my Nightscape Masterclass to teach you the workflow behind my images, step by step.

If you’ve ever struggled with washed-out colors, overwhelming stars, or bringing out faint nebulae, this course will help you understand what to do—and why.

You’ll learn how to:
✦ Stack your exposures for cleaner images
✦ Reveal delicate dust and dark nebulae
✦ Refine your stars and bring out rich colors
✦ Blend H-alpha with RGB data
✦ Bring your sky and foreground together into a finished image

Follow the lessons at your own pace and apply the techniques to your own captures.

Ready to get more from your nights under the stars?

Comment “MASTERCLASS” and I’ll send you the link with the full course details. ✨

Where Stone Meets Orion ✨

One of my favorite parts of the year !
Orion, Barnard’s Loop and the Rosette Nebula lighting up the winter sky above this otherworldly landscape.

Who else is ready for Orion season?

MASTERING H-ALPHA: BRINGING ORION TO LIFE 🔥

Today I’m sharing with you some steps I use to create an H-alpha + RGB nightscape image, with this transformation of Orion.

That deep red glow stretching around Orion is hydrogen-alpha emission—real glowing gas structures across space.

Captured, processed, and blended with care to reveal the faint nebulae while keeping the sky natural and the colours balanced.

Swipe through to see the transformation ✨

That’s why I created my Nightscape Masterclass: to share my processing workflow and help you bring out these details in your own images. The H-alpha courses go in depth, from processing the signal to blending it with your RGB image, with each step explained along the way.

If you want to learn more, comment “MASTERCLASS” and I’ll send you all the details.
You can also check my website through the link in my bio.

Thanks for your support, and I wish you clear skies ✨
