A Swipe With The Claw

Of course I still love the Milky Way, but I also love capturing images that show a sense of time. That's where we get to go beyond the 3 dimensions we're so used to seeing so we can step into the 4th. I really like images that make you think - about our place here on earth and beyond.

 

In our night photography workshops, we like to capture all the wonders of the night - not just the Milky Way. Please check out our events for great opportunities to learn in locations like this one in Canyonlands National Park. www.NightPhotographyWorkshop.com

 

How I Got The Shot

I captured two images from this location in Canyonlands National Park with the moon low in the sky before it dropped below the horizon. I shot two exposures - one 33 minutes and another one at 66 minutes of exposure time. On the first shot, I had good lighting but I liked the longer trails from the second - so I did an exposure blend where I included the long star trails from the longer exposure and the brighter light on the foreground from when the moon was higher in the sky.
