Utah Astrophotography
Guests Only
Somehow I completely forgot about this shot and never posted it. This was taken on my trip up to my family cabin in Idaho back in June, there's a nice ranch just outside Stanley with a cool bridge entrance. I tried to capture the bridge and gate over the Salmon River, it was a funny angle and it didn't turn out so well. Plus there were constant cars with their headlights illuminating the hill in the background which was driving me nuts, I think that's why I kind of forgot about this one.
On top of the gate is a sign that reads "Guests Only" which got me pondering (oh boy, here we go!), aren't we all just guests in this vast galaxy and universe? Our time is fleeting, we are finite, just merely visiting this small speck of dirt flying through the solar system.
This is 6 shots total, 3 wide for the sky and 3 wide for the foreground, taken with my Nikon D600 and Rokinon 24mm f1.4 lens on an iOptron Skytracker mount. All shots were 2 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.8, stitched in PTGui and edited in Photoshop and Lightroom.
