With the ban on artificial lighting in Arches National park set to take effect in 2020, we figured this was our last chance to see this beautiful arch light painted with our galaxy.
Thank you to the photographers who worked with me and gave feedback until we had the lighting just right.
I spent most of last week in Moab Utah where I got to do some shooting at night.
I love this park and love this old tree. I was very happy to get a chance to capture its rugged beauty under the night sky.
We made a stop at this scenic place on the way to Milford Sound which is lit by this beautiful lupin flowers.
Some places are better if experienced it alone. The picturesque Queenstown is such a place where this photo is taken.

The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol de Cabo da Roca) is a beacon/lighthouse located 165 metres (541 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean, on Portugal's (and continental Europe's) most westerly extent (Cabo da Roca). It is located in the civil parish of Colares, in the municipality of Sintra, situated on a promontory that juts out into the ocean, made up of granite boulders and interspersed limestone. It is a third-order lighthouse, which originally began operating in 1772. It was the first new purpose-built lighthouse to be constructed in the country: the older lighthouses in existence at that time, were constructed on existing platforms or from pre-existing beacons.
We sure are lucky to live in a state with such great dark skies.
Kay and I went adventuring in Southern Colorado this weekend. The first location I had in mind for a night shot didn't work out, so we just kept driving along empty backroads until we stumbled upon One Stop.
One piece of advise, if your looking for abandon buildings on a moonless night in a remote area, Forensic Files is not the best program to listen to on the radio.
As a bonus to our workshop we set up two star trackers and let everyone have a turn capturing images on them. While they were waiting we captured images of this great little tree under the heavens.
The best angle was very low. I felt a few things crawl across me while I had my head on the ground. I probably would rather not know what they were.
On the way home from Moab, we stopped off in the Badlands. We used our newly acquired Gaia GPS skills to navigate our way around. This is a very strange and beautiful area. It really comes alive when the sun gets low.
With the day dropping it’s curtain down ..the last leaking light from the horizon created this amazing hues over the mountain and moon lake (Chandratal). The transition is worth to witness !!
Duel Exposure - We got up very early on our last day in Yosemite to catch the Milky Way over Yosemite Valley.
Tech Info: I used the app "Exposure Calculator" to determine the proper long exposure for the foreground. It's a free app that is very easy to use.
Sky Exposure: - ISO 4000, 20 sec, f 2.0
Foreground - ISO 2500. 127 seconds, f2.
The long exposure really brought out the light in the center of the canyon. Not sure if it is the first bit of sunrise or ambient light from a far away city/town.

In winter you will come across many such amazing features and formations of frozen moment created by the big chill , on the surface and at banks of the Pangong Tso.
An impressive crescent shaped flaky ice formation as the wave got frozen in time, offered a striking perspective as I lay down on the frozen bed of the lake.
We hosted an American Photo Treks workshop this weekend at Rocky Mountain National Park. We couldn't have asked for better night sky conditions. The reflection on this lake was as good as any I have ever seen.
Tech Info: STACKED and BLENDED. This image is a combination if seven images stacked to remove the noise from the sky, then blended with a separate exposure for the foreground. The sky images were taken with the Sigma 14mm Art lens, ISO 6400, F2.0, 20 seconds). The foreground was ISO 2500 at 4 mins 13 seconds, which I determined using the app Exposure Calculator.
Snowy Range has some very cool trees, usually clumped together in little tree islands. We thought they might look cool under the Milky Way. The setting moon provided a great way to light them. I'm not sure what caused the bright orange glow on the horizon. A friend pointed out it is in the general direction of Ft Collins.

This Wednesday we got up really early and captured a night sky image of the Valley View in Yosemite. the snow added a nice accent to the scene.
I love this time of year. The Milky Way arches like a rainbow over the eastern horizon. There is a small window to catch it before dawn, but then you can transition to sunrise shots. Then go to bed. :)
