My backyard Orion shot happened after we fixed our porch lights

I spent months getting folks on my street to point their lights down instead of up. Last Friday, I caught a bright image of Orion's Belt without any glare. Using less light at night saves power and lets the stars shine through. It's a cool win for both my photos and the local environment. How have you dealt with light pollution where you live?

Warmer bulbs are a good start. Adding full cutoff shields keeps all the light pointed down. You end up with a much darker sky for stargazing.

Love that approach. I've been swapping my own bulbs for warmer, shielded ones.
