This is a timelapse from a few weeks ago in Trona Pinnacles in California. My goal was to do Deep Space Astro that night, and so I had set up my D850 to shoot in camera timelapse video in the meantime. There is one small hiccup in it, that I have spent several hours trying to mask, and in the...

From last week in Trona Pinnacles, I pulled out my broken D810 with the duct taped on Holga Lens and took a few shots. :) All comments are welcome, Jim

I was in Death Valley photographing for a few days with the main goal being Deep Space Astro along with Wide Angle Star/Milky Way timelapses. The weather for the third evening was forecasted to be totally cloudy, so I looked around and found that at the Trona Pinnacles the forecast was just for...

Trona Pinnacles in California is such a cool place. It's west of Death Valley and it's basically Mono Lake without the lake. :) This is one of the frames I used for the timelapse and afterwards edited it by itself. This was late, close to when the sun was going to start brightening up the sky...

The stars shine bright at Trona Pinnacles in California. This is from a week or so ago during a new moon. The stars were so bright it's amazing how much they could light up the ground. I think I am making progress in these. I was shooting Deep Space Astro also with my D850, so I was running back...

This is from early morning in Trona Pinnacles west of Death Valley. It is shot in 590nm IR, it had the custom WB, but no Channel Swap as I liked the way it looked best this way. Nikon D7100 590nm All comments are welcome, Jim

From earlier this year during my weekend trip to Trona.

Working the sunrise at Trona Pinnacles, after my original post which was pre sunrise color, it faded a bit so we jumped in the jeep and raced over to another set of pinnacles as the color was looking like it was moving to another set of clouds which wouldn't have worked with my original...

Sunrise from this last weekend at Trona Pinnacles. The Super moon was not so super because of the clouds, but that meant we had a really sweet sunrise out there. The cloud in the background is part of those famous Sierra Wave cloud formations. The cloud literally hung around in the sky for 6 to...

From Trona Pinnacles last weekend. The moon was rising close to sunset so it made for pretty good shooting conditions. Towards the end though it was getting pretty dark and there was over a 5 stop difference between the ground and the moon. Underexposing by 5 stops didn't get me any more moon...

Heading out to Trona Pinnacles in California on Saturday Dec 2nd to shoot the sunset and hopefully the moonrise. And then will be aiming for the opposite on Sunday Dec 3rd for the sunrise and hopefully the moonset. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know! :)
