ALIENS FINALLY PHOTOGRAPHEED!!
Pamela Goodyer Alien Photographer
Pamela Goodyer Alien Photographer
Attention Earthlings! We have some exciting news for you. Prepare to have your minds blown because, for the first time ever, we have photographic evidence of visitors from another world. That’s right, aliens are real and no longer hiding. Unlike the secretive government, photographer extraordinaire Pamela Goodyer is not holding back on sharing her incredible images with the world. These aren’t just grainy sightings; these photos capture the true essence of our otherworldly neighbors in all their glory.
From award-winning photographer to intergalactic documentarian, Pam has been joined by her new alien pals on her global adventures. And let me tell you, these photos are out of this world. Don’t be fooled by their seemingly simple drawings and use of a red light for communication – Pam believes these aliens are secretly trying to learn our language and communicate with us. But that’s not all; one of them even seems to have a crush on Pam. Move over Romeo and Juliet; there might be a love story between an alien and a human in our midst. So strap in and get ready to feast your eyes on some genuinely jaw-dropping images that will make you believe in extraterrestrial life. Welcome to the “Alien Photography” world, where anything is possible.
Pam is renowned globally for her out-of-this-world creativity. As the head of photography for a blockbuster movie and a groundbreaking docu-series, she tries to keep her extraterrestrial friends under wraps to avoid backlash from close-minded industry critics.
Pam was engaged to Mark in the past, but their relationship was cut short due to an epic battle between Mark and the aliens – fueled by intense jealousy. But don’t worry, Pam is not tied down to anyone now (though some skeptics believe she may be committed to something other than a romantic relationship). In a “Top Secret” document leaked today, Mark has finally confessed – he’s the mastermind behind the mysterious alien appearances in Pam’s photos. However, he swears there is no post-production manipulation (no Photoshop involved); it’s all just his crafty long-exposure photography tricks.
UPDATE!! Hold onto your tin foil hats, folks! Mark has also stepped forward, ready to take on the aliens himself! Who knows what kind of craziness will ensue? It’s all in good fun – let your imagination run wild!

The Milky Way galaxy, containing our Solar System, appears as a band of light in the night sky. It was first observed and named by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Until the 1920s, it was believed to be the entire universe. However, observations by Edwin Hubble showed it is just one of many galaxies.
You, too, can capture aliens in your photography! Attend one of Pamela Goodyer’s Photography Tours and learn how to find the aliens. You can also sign up for her one-on-one lessons or photography classes on nights and weekends. To learn how to photograph aliens for yourself.
Learn to light up subjects, including aliens, under the Milky Way by painting them with light. This is where being an artist comes into play. The basic idea is to light up what you want to appear in the image with a good flashlight. Experimentation sometimes will lead to pretty interesting photos. Remember, if something is moving in your picture and the light hits it, it will blur. If it is a stationary object, it will not blur. Light Painting 101 is coming soon! In the mean time sign up for one of Pam’s Photo Tours.
Pamela Goodyer had always been a true artist whose art was inspired by her love for the unknown. She never expected that she would make actual contact with extraterrestrial beings one day and be the creator of alien photography. Still, here she was, in the middle of the night, capturing photos of these magnificent creatures with her trusted Canon 5D Mark III and IV and now R5-C. Pamela had spent countless nights shooting the Milky Way, trying to capture its beauty in her photographs. But on that fateful night, something else caught her eye. At first, she thought it was just an airplane or a satellite passing overhead, but as she zoomed in with her camera lens, she realized it was something entirely different.
Pamela spent the next several weeks analyzing her alien photography, studying every detail of the craft and its occupants. She couldn’t shake the feeling that the aliens were trying to communicate with her through their craft and presence. She began to delve deeper into the world of ufology, reading every book and article she could find.
It’s not insanity… it’s creativity— Alien photography.
With each passing day, Pamela’s passion for photographing extraterrestrial beings grew stronger. She would often spend entire nights waiting for them to appear, her camera at the ready, eager to capture their otherworldly beauty. Her obsession didn’t go unnoticed, however. Mark, her trusted cameraman and longtime companion couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy toward the aliens. He had always been her go-to camera, capturing some of Pamela’s best work.
As he watched Pamela fawning over these new beings, Mark couldn’t help but wonder if he was starting to lose his place in her heart. But Pamela knew that she could never abandon Mark. He was a faithful friend and companion who had been with her through thick and thin. She would always cherish him and the memories they had created together.
Despite this, however, Pamela knew that there was no going back. Her encounter with the extraterrestrial beings opened doors she could never close again. She felt a deep connection to them – beyond mere photography. As she continued her journey of discovery, Pamela Goodyer knew that she had embarked on an adventure that would shape the rest of her life.

You will need a camera to manually control your ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.
A fast, wide-angle lens of 1.4 – 2.8 is ideal. If you use a 3.5 or higher (slower lens), you must increase the ISO. The higher the ISO, the more grain or digital noise or grain will appear in your photos.
A good, sturdy tripod is essential for night photography. If it gets windy, you will need a sturdy one. Remember that when you buy one, it should be sturdy enough to withstand the wind but small enough to fit in your suitcase.
Sky Guide is available through the iTunes Store for $1.99. It has a 5 out of 5-star rating on both the current (3.2) version (1200+ ratings) and all previous versions (8600+ ratings).
Our choice is Coast brand for flashlights. The ideal flashlight will have high lumens, and you can zoom in and out on the light emitting from the flashlight. Get the HP7, PX45, or the G50. Ideally, go with the HP7.
The best time to go is during a new moon; you want to be in the darkest area possible. The week before the new moon, when the moon has not risen, is a perfect time to go, so be sure to check the moonrise chart to see when the moon will be up.
When painting with light and over a 30-second exposure, you must have a shutter release to use your bulb mode. When exposing your pictures in general, you can use the remote release or use your camera’s built-in two-second timer.
Start with ISO 1600 – 3200. This is just a common starting point, and you will adjust from here.
Shutter Speed – Remember, the earth is rotating. If you leave the shutter open for too long, you will see star trails that will not make for a crisp image. We want crisp, non-star trail images. Here is the formula to avoid star trails—the 500 rule – Divide 500 by the focal length of your lens. So, if you have a 24mm lens on a full-frame camera, you will set your shutter speed to 20 sec. (500/24 = 20.83). If you are using a crop sensor camera, first do the math of the crop sensor to find the focal length. Cannon is 1.6, Nikon is 1.5. Convert to full-frame focal length, then use the formula. Nikon 18mm x 1.5= 27mm – 500/27 = 18.51 seconds.
Depth of field isn’t critical on these shots, but letting the light into the camera is; therefore, you should shoot wide open if. If the depth of field is essential to you, try not to go too high. (wide open =the lowest aperture your camera will allow). You will have to increase the ISO some, giving you digital noise.
Now that the ISO and aperture are set in manual mode, roll your shutter speed until your meter reads (0) zero. Take a test shot and adjust from there. Remember, the earth is rotating. If you leave the shutter open for too long, you will see star trails that will not make for a crisp image. You can make star trails specifically, but that’s not what we are going for here since we started with Milky Way photography. We want crisp, non-star trail images when doing this.

In live view mode, you can change your white balance settings and see what it will look like. You can shoot in shade or cloud mode as a standard setting and adjust things later when editing.
To focus in the dark, use your camera’s live view, hit the zoom button, and focus on a bright star. You can also use the infinity setting on your lens but do several test shots to determine accuracy. It can be off a little on some lenses. You can also light it up with a flashlight, focus, then gently, without touching the focus ring, put the camera in manual focus so it will not search for the focus. You must do this each time you move your camera to take your next angel.
The best images are usually of the dense part of the Milky Way. We can see this part of the milk way in the southern sky. During March, April, and May, the Milky Way rises above the horizon in the pre-dawn hours. In June, at about 10:00 p.m., you will see the Milky Way. From July until October, you can see the Milky Way as soon as it sunsets, and it becomes dark enough to see about an hour after sunset. In November, the Milky Way no longer comes above the horizon. You will have to wait until March if you want to stay away really late or get up early to see her again.
