Galactic Threesome

Three ancient pillars, like petrified fingers reaching for the stars, framing the rise of the Milky Way core over the Pinnacles desert.

It wasn’t the plan, but the night took a turn. The wind at Nambung was relentless, and after a couple of hours of fighting sand in my eyes, I realized it was time to move on and find a better connection. A last-minute pivot to the Pinnacles—just 10 minutes down the road—totally changed the mood. Even with the moon racing to wash out the sky, I managed to capture this and other shots. Sometimes, you just have to know when to switch things up to get the result you’re after.
