twilight

Although I had hiked up to the Hidden Lake Overlook specifically to shoot the Milky Way, there was an awfully nice twilight as well. So here is an image taken at 14mm. The sky was actually fairly dark - the moon was hiding behind the clouds on the right which is what is providing the light on...

Garrett Bay in Door County on an evening with very special light.

Here is an image I shot from Mono Lake while waiting for the skies to get dark enough for the Milky Way. Because the Milky Way was my goal for that evening, I had never gone back and processed this twilight image. When I looked at it today it had some nice light on the Tufa (I have no idea where...

Looking down upon the Blue Valley from Skyline Overlook in Utah with Ben a few weeks ago. @ckcarr Craig had just left Ben and I to our own devices, so it was a bit of twilight shooting while waiting for the Milky Way to make her appearance. The valley area I ended up warming up so much, it's not...

This was from the first night of meeting up with some of the FocalWorld gang in the Tetons. Schwabachers Landing is known more as a sunrise location, but the conditions were good for a sunset here. This was after the sun had set and the moon was rising up and really lit up the ground layer. The...

Here's a view looking south from Tomaree headlands in Shoal Bay, Australia. Shoal Bay is about a 3 hour drive North of Sydney and was a really nice area to just hang around the beach. I hiked up the trail to this peak well before sunrise, hoping to capture some stars. The skies were cloudier...

Sometimes sticking around after sunset is a nice thing... As the skies got darker the crowds thinned out and the colors got richer. So I kept shooting. This is McWay Cove in Big Sur about half an hour after the sun set. Any thoughts are welcome.

SW Colorado is a beautiful place. This shot started with me up at Molas Pass shooting, but as the sunset colors faded and shifted to some other clouds off to the side, I quickly packed up and raced over to Andrews Lake and got some cool shots with some late sunset colors as twilight started to...

This was taken after sunset near the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain. I used my 100-400 to compress the scene, with layers from the water, mountains and clouds. Any thoughts are welcome.

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

A couple of weeks ago when I was up at Yosemite at Tunnel View at sunset, as Twilight hit it dawned on me that the clouds were moving pretty fast in the background. And so I took a couple of 30 second exposures, this was the second one, and just as I was thinking on putting on a 10 stop so I...

The Great Fountain geyser is my favorite geyser in Yellowstone. I have literally spent days trying to catch it's elusive eruptions. Here is a shot at Twilight. All comments are welcome, Jim
