p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Tunnel View and Stars


I spent Saturday night in Yosemite, hoping my calculations were correct and I'd see a horizontal Milky Way rising over the valley between 2am and 3am. I shot the foreground as the moon was setting and then shot star trails (second photo) while waiting for the MW. Any thoughts are welcome.

Hey Kyle,

The star trails one doesn't work for me really. I usually shoot star trails too, but for me at least, they rarely end up appealing to me.

But with that said, I do like #1 with the Milky Way. The ground layer has been kept pretty dark as keeping with a night shot, the hint of light from the moon worked well.

Good work on the calcs.

Jim

Very cool. I was there the same time except k Trekker up to Yosemite Falls in hopes of getting a different composition.

Thanks Jim - I don't love star trails either, but it was the best idea I could come up with to pass the time between exposures :-)

Way above my paygrade.
I love the first, with a great capture of the sky and a nice arc of light illuminating broad crescents below. The trails image is busy and strongly competes with the beauty below.
