The photogenic core section of the Milky Way has started its late Winter ascent into the night sky. Here you can see the Great Dark Horse, one of the most recognizable features of our galaxy, making its way above the horizon at Marshall Point Lighthouse. This image was captured just after moonset and shortly before sunrise on February 1 during the blue hour. Milky Way season has officially started.
Spots in our Spring Night Photography Workshops are filling up. We are offering two workshops at Marshall Point during Spring 2015 and we will be adding a couple more over the Summer months. Check out our website for more info.

Through the Galactic Arch by Shainblum

I traveled deep into the Anza Borrego, in search of the perfect road direction for the Milky Way arch. The galaxy at this certain area of the park is stunning. The light pollution near the core of the galaxy is minimal, and the light pollution towards the center of the photograph from Calexico and El Centro actually added a nice glow above the road.
From a technical perspective, basically the shot was achieved using 14 vertical images in two rows, with a 20MM lens to get the extremely wide perspective. The images were then stitched together using Adobe Photoshop CS6. This does not make the image a composite, it is actually a panorama. The integrity of the Milky Ways’ position and composition has been left natural. Some other processing I used included noise reduction, contrast, color correction, and bringing up the shadows of the foreground. This photograph was so fun to make, I hope you all enjoy viewing it as much as I did to create it.

Mono lake is one of my favorite places to shoot the night sky. This image is a single exposure with some light painting to bring out the details in the Tufa formations.

Here is an experimental image I tried a few night ago at Fonts Point. The idea was to create a very wide vertical image where the Milky Way appears extremely thin and long in the frame. I used my 14 mm lens and took 12 horizontal frames up and down. The moon has already set at Fonts Point and the Milky Way was shining its true colors. Overlooking the Badlands from this spot was just incredible. It did however, feel pretty uncomfortable standing on the edge of a sheer cliff. The glow on the horizon is caused by light pollution in Calexico, El Centro and Mexicali.

Lost In Space And Time by ha_500px

(Disclaimer: This image is one exposure with minor Lightroom touch ups. This is not CGI and this is not digital painting, this is a real photograph.)
When we walk out into the heart of an unfrequented desert landscape, you expect to see some cactus, sand, maybe a few rocks, but what is that last thing you would ever expect? A giant metal dinosaur perhaps? These are in fact art installations by a man named Ricardo Breceda. Ricardo crafted over 120 metallic sculptures around the small town of Borrego Springs, out in the middle of the Anza Borrego Desert in California.
This area also happens to be an international Dark Sky community. The galaxy is an incredible backdrop over these beautiful pieces of art. The trick to this image was finding the location, for that I have to thank my good friends Jeff Morris and Slworking Kevin for their assistance in this process.
It was really an incredible experience to start by driving on a bumpy dirt road in complete and utter darkness, followed by looking up at two giant shadowed Dinosaurs staring you down. It was also creepy to a certain extent, because of how big the sculptures really were. Dinosaurs actually used to roam in this area many years ago. If you really think about it, these creatures were walking the earth long before light pollution, and they were able to live amongst these beautiful stars.
The photo was achieved by using a 30-second exposure for the sky while, light painting around the dinosaurs with my iPhone Flashlight. This was all done in one exposure. I cannot wait to get back out there and shoot some more of these intriguing sculptures.
Thank you so much for viewing the image and reading my description!

This image was taken in Patriarch Grove, deep in the White Mountains. The panorama was created using 13 images overlapping side by side. There was no HDR or compositing involved in this photograph. Only the stitching of the panorama.
