night

From out at Dowdy Lake in July. I have posted some photos from there. While the grandkids and my daughter were snuggled up in our tents, I grabbed my gear to head down the short distance to the lake shore and this cool pile of rocks. The moon was just about full if I remember, but I wasn't going...

On my way back from Colorado to California, I went by way of New Mexico, Arizona and then California. I managed to stop by in Sedona just as Jeffrey was meeting with Doug, so I had an hour or two to hang out with them by Red Rock Crossing before I left to go up to the Grand Canyon for my first...

I went out camping with the 6 grandkids and my daughter to Dowdy Lake in Northern Colorado. It's a lake by an area called Red Feather Lakes. I had never been there before so it was all new to me. We were able to get a campsite right next to the lake and I found that it had this very cool rock...

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the south rim is where 95% of all visitors go from my guess. I have been there dozens of times now, and have posted photos from their previously. It's a super cool place! You guys know I love night skies whether it's just the stars or the Milky Way too. While...

This is from a week or two ago in the San Juans at Dallas Divide in SW Colorado. My goal and focus was doing Deep Space Astro with my long lens and tracker, but of course I still set up cameras for timelapses. I haven't gotten any timelapses done since I am back at my daughters and the 6...

Though it was 96 degrees during the day out at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, it cooled down to a very blissful 70 degrees at night. I totally enjoyed as I had 4 cameras setup and clicking away as I sat back in my beach chair just enjoying the blissful moment. This image is almost a free...

I was out at Joshua Tree National Park last week with the goal of shooting Deep Space Astro, but had also planned on setting up a couple of cameras so I could do timelapses of the night sky. Having car headlights on the rocks at night has been something that keeps happening and I have been...

So from a few weeks ago as I was capturing timelapses at night I also stopped and took a few experimental Infrared images with my Nikon D7100 that I had converted at LifePixel to 590nm. This was shot at 20 secs, ISO 3200 at F5. This has been channel swapped which is pretty normal for Infrared...

Last Thursday after I got my Deep Space Astro setup with the D850 and the timelapse set up at the lake with the D810, I could take a breath and I liked the look of the light and stars to the west. So I grabbed my D610 and set it up on a tripod to shoot to the west with the trees framed along the...

This is from 2 weeks ago. After visiting with Ben, I detoured up to Grand Teton National Park to explore it in the winter and ended up spending a couple of nights enjoying the night skies. This is the 2nd night. I was going to include scenes from a 3rd camera, my D610 that was doing some...

After the sunset on New Years Day in Huntington Beach California, I took my cameras from the beach and set them up on the pier for some Timelapse goodness. The lighting on the pier at night was pretty wonky, and while I color corrected it to look decent, I decided B&W might just be the way to...

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...

Taken this morning, first snow of the season, just in time (although it will melt before Christmas). Topaz Van Gogh filter

On my way back to Colorado and beyond for fall color I knew I had a night or two where I could do some Deep Space Astro photography. It wasn't a huge window since the moon was at 2/3rds to 3/4 full. So the sky at night didn't get dark enough until about 1am on this night and by 5am it was...

I've already posted a version of this scene in the landscape forum, but hadn't processed this one. Like Jim said in the first one it would have been nice to include the whole mountain in the reflection, this one does. Two images stacked, sky 25 sec., earth 79 sec., ISO 3200, Sony A7rII + Batis...

I hiked up to this little lake/tarn on the side of White Chuck mountain hoping to find a relatively easy place to take my wife for a nice night. I've looked down on this spot from the summit a couple of times and thought it would be cool to get over there sometime. With the crowds on the well...

It is usually so quiet and peaceful at night, one can almost hear the night whispering. This is one of my takes on the Milky Way at the Temple of the Sun and Moon with the Moon being the Temple closest. Ben and Alisa were out shooting it with me. It was genuinely a fine time to spend with 2...

Let's first get this out of the way: not everyone likes light painted images. That is definitely fair since they don't have a natural look. I enjoy them and find them a fun way to be creative at night. The light painted images of photographers like Michael Frye played a large role in developing...

The Sea Ranch Chapel at night

I captured this in the summer of 2018 with Jim Fox. It was my second attempt to line up a lunar rainbow on upper Yosemite Falls with the Milky Way stretching over the scene. There are a limited number of nights during the year where there is water in the falls, enough light to form a moonbow...
