From a few weeks back on my 3 nighter Milky Way journey to Joshua Tree National Park. I love the Milky Way, I love the Night sky even without the Milky Way. And then throw in that I am trying to grow my YouTube channel, and most of my subscribers like Milky Ways, I have been making a concerted...

At the Juniper Tree and Monolith combo in Jumbo Rocks at Joshua Tree National Park, as often is the case there the best sunset colors often tend to be in the opposite direction. So even though I had timelapses going shooting in the classic view, I ran behind it with my D610 to capture the sunset...

This is from the back side of the Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park, a super cool area between Arch Rock and the campsites. I sometimes spend more time here then at Arch Rock because these Jumbled Rocks (Not to be confused with Jumbo Rocks Campground) are just so interesting and there is...

This is from Jumbo Rocks in Joshua Tree last week. As the sky got brighter I kept my eye on this little bitty cloud, hoping it would stick around to get some color on it. And it did. I am not sure if this really qualifies as a Lenticular Cloud or not, but Lenticular is what popped into my mind...

I was out in Joshua Tree National Park earlier in the week to do Deep Space Astro, but I also set up a couple of cameras to do some timelapses during the night, this is one of them. The moon was about 50% which is cool because it was fun to watch the shadows at night as the moon moved. All...

I was spending some time with my friend Josh tonight. Some of you may know him by his full name of Joshua Tree. :) I came out to Joshua Tree NP to capture Deep Space and to do a Timelapse of the stars, but before I could do that there was a thin layer of clouds to the West. All comments are...

This is from my trip last week out to Joshua Tree to shoot deep space astro. The next morning I chose to only use my IR camera, this is one of the images I took. Now this is custom White Balanced, but that's about it. Something about not doing the Channel Swap appeals to me a lot of the times...

Relax with Nature is a series of video's set to classical, soft music I have been working on. This one is from Joshua Tree National Park. The video is 1 hour and 20 minutes long, with basically 20 minutes of video in 4 different parts of Joshua Tree. Hemingway, Hidden Valley, Barker Dam and...

I went out last Tuesday to Joshua Tree to test my new Astro Mount, and even though the moon was at 73% so much brighter then I normally like I set up 2 cameras to shoot timelapses while I played around with my new mount with a different camera. That sounded confusing reading it back, to clarify...

A recent video from out at Joshua Tree on the morning after an all night Perseids Meteor photography. Before leaving I wanted to walk around the wonderland of rocks as there are so many shapes and sizes out there. GoPro Hero 9 Assembled in Movavi All comments are welcome, Jim

This is a timelapse from the Perseid Meteor Shower. I captured this out at Joshua Tree National Park. I made a concerted effort to find a straight spot in the road that goes through Joshua Tree to hopefully eliminate lights from cars. I was not successful it seems.... one of these days. I did...

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...

Somehow it feels a bit funny that everything has to have a name now. I look back and when I was young it we just called it a full moon. :) This was out in Joshua Tree National Park during the Eclipse last week. The moon popped out briefly between the clouds along the horizon, I spent maybe 15...

A GoPro Hero 9 timelapse I captured last week out in Joshua Tree. This is an area by Skull Rock that has tons of wild looking crazy rocks. GoPro Hero 9 Processed totally in Movavi All comments are welcome, Jim

As you all know I had driven out to Joshua Tree for the Super moon and the Eclipse. As the moon was rising to the East, I had a crazy color show to the West. I was alternating shooting the rising super moon before it disappeared behind clouds, and then this crazy light show to the West. I don't...

Some interesting Joshua Trees I found last week in Joshua Tree National Park. Nikon D7100 - 590nm Not Channel Swapped All comments are welcome, Jim

I captured this last week out in the Cholla Gardens in Joshua Tree National Park. As I am sure most of you have figured out by now, I like trying new things, different things, good or bad I enjoy being creative. The Creativity doesn't always come to fruition with something viable, but I have fun...

This is another one from last week in Joshua Tree National Park last week. My focus was Deep Space Astro, but once my Star Tracker was set up and shooting Deep Space, I ran around with my other cameras. I had the D810 and Sony A6400 set up in different locations to shoot timelapses, and then I...

This was from last week in Joshua Tree. It was a new moon, so my goal was Deep Space Astro with my tracker and long lens, but as mentioned in my Timelapse, I also set up 2 cameras to shoot timelapses all night long while I was working the Deep Space. This shot is taken from just one of the...

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...
