I went out on Sunday to Joshua Tree in search of Heart Rock and some Timelapses. :) Heart Rock is a super cool looking rock (I think) that's just out in the middle of no where. I have searched for it for about 5 years now, and never found it. What's funny, now that I have found it, I could...

I went out to hopefully find Heart Rock in Joshua Tree. I have been searching for it for about 5 years now, and I think I was finally close! :) This is a combination of video and timelapse. I am really enjoying the combination. This was done totally on the GoPro Hero 7 Black. All comments are...

Another scene from Joshua Tree yesterday as I was walking around and looking for scenes that might look good in IR. I ended up converting this one to B&W as I have been itching for a while on trying to figure out how to do that with IR. I went with a moody B&W look, it probably won't appeal to...

I went out to Joshua Tree to play with my new converted IR camera, but I did also take a few with a regular camera also. This is one of them, over by the White Tank Campground (Which is still closed sadly). I thought about perhaps doing a crop on this, to lose that background hill, but thought...

I went out a few weeks ago to capture some Deep Space photography. It was a night I have already mentioned that was very windy, and it was a bit hard at first to get shots without the wind blowing the tripod and camera around and turning every star into a squiggle. As I was checking my polar...

On my way to where I was going to set up to shoot timelapse of the sunset into the night sky, I stopped at this area that is by the Jumbo Rocks campground. So many cool looking rocks. I needed to get some running in for the day, so this was a great place to run. I grabbed my GoPro Hero 7 Black...

From last Sunday night, it was a very pleasant evening in Joshua Tree National Park. I already posted a vertical timelapse taken on my Sony A6400. This one was taken on my D810. It is made from Raw files converted to tiffs and then compiled. All of that was done in Photoshop. Now sadly there is...

This is a still capture from last Sunday night when I was doing timelapses in Joshua Tree. One of the advantages of shooting timelapse as Raw stills to compile later is you can pick an image out of it and still process it as a raw image at full resolution. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is the same timelapse I posted earlier, a vertical timelapse from Joshua Tree. This time with a still image for an intro section. I wanted to test if it could then occupy the viewer for 11 secs while the video would render into High Def, instead of the video being all pixelated like had...

This is from last night (Sunday) out at Joshua Tree. Besides wanting to get some usable timelapses, I still had a bit of experimenting I wanted to do. So first off, I outsmarted myself with this one.... :rolleyes: I went vertical with this one because I wanted to catch more stars above the...

While out shooting DSO Astro on Thursday night, I set up my D810 to shoot timelapse stills centered on the North Star (Polaris). I had meant for it just to be a test, but I think it looks pretty cool. I did find out what I wanted to, so I will be going back out tomorrow or the next day to just...

It was too cold in Colorado to go out during the full moon to do Deep Space Astro in December, but I knew I would be back in California in January. So off to Joshua Tree I ran on Thursday afternoon so I could set up my gear and do some DSO Astro which I hadn't been able to do in a couple of...

Since so many of us are playing around and learning how to do Timelapse video, I found a bunch of Milky Way shots I took from Joshua Tree back in June of this year while out shooting Deep Sky Astro with my D850. While that camera was focused on a few different Nebula's and Galaxies, I had 3...

This is from this last summer as I was making a run through Joshua Tree as I was self isolating on my way to Colorado. My intent was Deep Space Astro, but as the sun was setting on this day I walked out into the desert a bit to set up and shoot with some nice golden light in the sky. All...

This is back from a month ago south of Joshua Tree and not far from Indio California. I liked the arrangement when I saw the 3 lined up like this. I even went with a pano crop which is not normal for me. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from a few weeks back in Joshua Tree National Park, it's Arch Rock. After a night of Deep Space photography with no clouds, there was just a slight bit of clouds along the horizon, not much at all but enough to give me hope for sunrise so I ran over to where Arch Rock is and got this...

This was from a month ago out in Joshua Tree National Park. I have a favorite little spot to set up there that has almost the whole sky open to shoot. I gave up on processing this one at least twice over the last month. It's a super faint Nebula, it's one you can't see by eye or see in the...

After a night of shoot Deep Space Astro 3 weeks ago I enjoyed running around Joshua Tree looking for new spots or subjects that grab my eye. In this case I was looking to find a cool Joshua Tree and the way the clouds were radiating out from the horizon this one grabbed my attention. All...

From the Bowels of the Earth come forth! This is from Joshua Tree National Park. After a night of Deep Space Astrophotography I then went to the Arch Rock area and I liked how the rock shapes were playing with the incoming clouds at sunrise. This is pretty much how it looked as shot. Of course...

This is from a few years ago from Joshua Tree National Park in California. It’s an archive shot that I tweaked a bit, so hopefully it looks good as my edits have to be quick. All comments are welcome, Jim
