Welcome! Thank you for visiting .....

I’m TR Barnard - Tammy to my friends -  night sky photographer and sole force behind inphotonoctem PHOTOGRAPHY. 

Don’t you just love the night sky?  Me too - the darker the better. Who doesn't get a little thrill of excitement when a falling star appears … a full moon casts shadows with its reflected brilliance … or Orion rises, marching noticeably across the night sky. 

Sarah Williams’ thoughts in 1868 could well be my own:
      Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light.
      I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
                                    - from The Old Astronomer to His Pupil 

When the Comet Neowise appeared a few years ago the potential behind that thrill turned into an obsession:  Night Photography!  

Since that time I have immersed myself in the perfection of my chosen craft -  researching and studying, poring over videos, attending workshops, and spending nights by myself in bitter cold or swarming bugs to fuel this passion.  

My images have been included recently in several local and national juried shows, as well as local, regional and international publications:

Too often we see only that falling star, the full moon, or the brightest constellations. My goal is to capture the deeper beauty of galactic light over shadowed landscapes - in Kansas and beyond. 

This now is my passion....my journey....my joy.  I hope that you will come to love the night sky as I do
