I would say it was a good trip to Capital Reef, UT! CC Welcome!

On our way back fro UT a pit stop to SW CO. Milky Way on Dallas Divide. CC Welcome.

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...

This is from last week, there was a moon up that set during the night and a few clouds rolled in. It all made for an exciting night with the goblins. This was captured on the Nikon D810 Sigma 14mm f1.8. Once the moon set I started capturing Deep Space Images with my D850. It was a busy but very...

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...

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...

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...

I finally was able to get this processed and compiled. As most of you know I am pretty buried with grandkids here in Colorado, so my free time is not very free, and there is always several kids where every I go. So while I enjoy them greatly, it makes long projects like this hard to do. This is...

Hi all, I apologise for not being active for a while, I have been super busy with life duties! This is a composite containing my pics I shot of last week's Lunar Eclipse. I had to battle the clouds constantly and it took me all of yesterday to get it to where it is now; I am very proud with...

Well, actually I guess it was the sky and not the stars, and actually it went more psychedelic and not psycho... But once I titled the timelapse and had uploaded it to YouTube, I wasn't going to modify it since it takes too long. :) So this was from just leaving Furnace Creek to the North in...

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 in the Grand Teton National Park. I wanted to visit the park in the winter. I already posted a longer version that includes timelapse from several cameras shooting at the same time. But @Jim Dockery asked for a shorter version that was all from one camera, in this case...

Lake that is in Colorado. :) Jackson Lake is a state park about an hour from my daughters that I thought might work for Deep Space Astro as it's pretty out away from the city, and hopefully wouldn't be as cold as going to the north into Wyoming. As it was it was down into the 20's during 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...

You can only be in Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada at night if they have a special event or if you are in a campground. On this particular night, there was both a special event and I was in the campground. So after the special event at the Fire Wave closed down at 8pm (Which I still have to...

This is from a week ago in Valley of Fire. After shooting the stars over the Fire Wave I came over by my campsite and went down the road just a bit to set up for timelapses. This is one from the timelapses I shot and it was one of the last shots captured by my beloved Nikon D810 before huge...

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...
