Searching The Heavens

I think it's time to get a telescope!!! This is a fellow photographer that I met in Joshua Tree National Park. He, his sister and another photographer and myself hung out here for a couple of hours exchanging tips and friendly conversation.

 

We were looking for variations on different compositions since nobody there could find a comp with the arch and the MW that looked any good. At this time of year the MW is on the back side of the arch which is somewhat less photogenic than the front side. So I strapped a 50 LED police headlamp on this guys head and handed him my back up headlamp set to red LED mode and ask him to put that on the ground at his feet. After a little fiddling and a few test shots I ended up with this composition. Hope you like it!!! :)

 

I will be heading back here in June when the MW is in a much better position. :)

 

This was shot at the White Tank Campground on the Arch rock loop.
