stars

Here is one from a few weeks ago back at Death Valley. It was one of those peaceful, quiet and tranquil evenings. This is Mesquite Dunes. All comments are welcome, Jim

My last star shot in Yosemite was my best I think as this meteor streaked right through the shot in the middle of the exposure. It was really exciting to see that streak happen and the 6 or 7 of us up at Tunnel View all gasped and got excited. This is a one shot image, it's my favorite time...

In a play off of Craig's Edge series of real edges in Utah Landscapes, I have one from Arches where the sun and moon were heading in unison to the edge of the horizon. All comments are welcome, Jim

From about 5 years ago out at the Temple of Sun and Moon in Capitol Reef. There were light clouds moving through all night that only slightly veiled the stars. As you can tell by the mixtures of colors in the sky though that the clouds really affected the WB up in the sky a lot in various...

Do you have any night photos of the stars? Of the Milky Way? Please post them in this thread. If this hits off well, this may turn into a monthly Feature we do in conjunction with our Waterfall Wednesdays. Here is mine to start it off. One from Joshua Tree from a few years ago. I mainly shoot...

My second time shooting at night... I know we can be our own worst critic I had a difficult time trying to edit this one in fear it was too bright, too much noise, or even how I wanted to look. Yet, I can still look at it now and still unsure I am happy with my results. CC is welcome.

With a very low chance for auroras, and a high chance for smoke, I drove up to Glacier against my better judgement earlier this week..in hopes of getting lucky. When I got to the Flathead Valley the smoke was not too bad, relatively speaking, and I could see blue skies peaking through the haze...

One from Gates of the Valley in Yosemite earlier in the year. The moon was still up lighting the valley, but the side effect was it was washing out the Milky Way some. It was a case of shooting this just as the moon was setting but still lighting up the valley and then shooting the Milky Way as...

Actually, not so sure about the Galaxy part, but the title kind of sounded cool. :) This is from last weekend roaming around Central California. I had a couple of options to choose from for shooting the stars and the MW. For me it was a prime day as the Moon was only 1/4 and it was setting...

I took this at the end of June, after using Photopills and other tools to figure out when a partial moon would be in a good spot to create a moonbow while the Milky Way filled the sky. This is a single frame.

I was up in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite a week ago to try and shooting the Perseids Meteor Shower. Because I knew the moon was rising pretty early at night (11pm) that my odds of actually capturing the meteor shower was slim, but I figured if nothing else I would be able to get some star shots...

This is a place I visit once a year. It is high in the Uncompahgre Mountains. When I visit, I never want to leave.

This is one I shot for a client of their cabin in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. They wanted a night time shot with the stars, I was able to time it so that I got the Milky Way also.

Appreciate the invite to the community. Look forward to building online and perhaps in-person relationships with some of you. This is a shot I took in May of this year. It was my 2nd attempt at shooting the Milkyway. My 10 year old daughter was out there helping me at 1AM too, so a little...
