Continuing to chase the stars and Milky Way. Bridge out Williamson Valley looking north to create star trails. A beautiful night no wind or clouds just stars that went on for ever. This pic was taken with my Olympus OMD live composite mode which creates the star trail in camera and has a starry sky AF-night focus star function. Getting older harder to see at night so that function really helps.
Milky Way rising over bridge on the Prescott -Simmons Highway (Williamson Valley Rd) FINALLY a clear night
Pano shot at Delicate Arch near Moab, Utah, in May 2023 while in Mike Shaw's Utah Parks workshop. We all had a great time and learned so much! Clouds kept obscuring the Milky Way Galactic Core (lower right of the arch), the very center of our universe. The green and pink striations are airglow. When the upper part of the ionosphere gets hit with sunlight, the atoms and molecules get excited. To return to their chill state, they emit bursts of light and these show up as red, green, purple or other color bands in the sky. We can't really see them, usually, but a camera sensor can. The yellow glow on the horizon is light pollution from Grand Junction CO, 120 miles away. Turn off your porch lights, folks!
The International Space Station zips across the Utah sky at 5 miles per second, 250 miles above us. I always feel privileged when I can catch a glimpse of the ISS, much less photograph it. Much respect to the women and men who are onboard and working hard to further the world's scientific knowledge.
The Milky Way at Balanced Rock, Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, in May 2023. Even with a cloud layer obscuring a large portion of the Galactic Core, its brightness combined with the darkness of the night sky was incredible. Shot during a workshop run by Mike Shaw Photography
In this week’s blog post we recap the amazing gathering of night photographers who came to our in-person Nightscaper Conference in Kanab, Utah. It was truly a gathering of night-minded people including: 22 Speakers who provided so much inspiration and education on a variety of topics. 20 Sponsors that provided over 35 prizes and incredible hands-on opportunities to try out the latest products to help us reach for the stars. 200 passionate people who shared their “Tales of the Night”, broke bread together, star-partied with each other, and seized every moment - day and night! Huge thank you to all and we look forward to many more Nightscaper Conferences in the future! We also had some ironic fortune happen during the Nightscaper Conference as it coincided with a mandated “power outage” in Kanab for the grid to be worked on. This unique scenario provided a night photographer’s dream come true scenario - shoot Main Street USA with the lights out and the Milky Way rising above the town. We bumped into many people that night - endless smiles and ideas lit up the streets. For this image by National Parks at Night Instructor, Gabriel Biderman, he composed the intersection of Main St and US-89 under star light and quick flick of a flashlight to highlight the powered down traffic lights.
