Hey all,

Your photos are amazing! Do you use a remote shutter release, or one of those cords? I've never done much work with tripods and such long shutter times...this has inspired me to go and try it! How long would you say your average shot takes to get such star movement?
Perhaps we can meet at the beach with our gear one night!

Your work is really incredible. The photographs are so striking, like something from another world.

I use a cable release and a tripod. Exposure times depend on the amount of light. If the Moon is out or how much light pollution coming in off the streets etc.. If the moon is not out I let it go for about 40minutes or so but I also use a flash light to highlight areas. I can let it go longer but I get impatient and with a digital camera I get a lot of noise so I try to stick around 40minutes. Some exposures are only 40 seconds and some are 40 minutes. Its really all about playing with the light. I like going out at night, its more peaceful and I can pretty much go where I want.

Where are you in NJ, we can meet up sometime.

Is that what you did for the Delicate Arch pic? I was wondering how you got the arch to be highlighted like that.

Great work!

Yielder,

Canon Digital cameras and Canon EF Lenses. I have a host of tripods that I use so not sure what ones for what shots.

I think for most of the shots I used either a Canon 10D or 20D and a 15mm fisheye lens or a 16-35mm lens. It all depends on the situation. I have a lot of gear in my bag so I try to carry what I think I will need for what I am going to shoot that day(night).

Great work!

I took them in June of 2007.

I am not sure what Arch shot you are talking about. Is it the one in color of just the arch and stars behind it? If so, I used a Mag light for 40 seconds. I learned that after about 40 second thats when the stars start to streak in the sky(depending on the lens you use). I wanted to be able to hightlight the Arch but I wanted the stars static in the sky. I actually got that shot on my first attempt(sometimes it takes a few to get it right).

I was a little nervous up there, after the moon went down you couldn't see more than 5 feet infront of you and if you have ever been there its not the easiest place to walk around in. You are basically stand on about a 30-60 degree angle.

The first shot I took up there was of the Arch and Bowl lit by the moon. On the left side of the photo you can see the angles I am talking about. I tried to actually walk on the side of the bowl over to the Arch with a flashlight in my hand and about 50 pounds of photo gear on my back. Needless to say I was unable to make over there and I almost fell into the bowl when I slipped and fell a few feet. So after that I sat down and took that shot. That shot took me two tries to get:)


Thanks for looking!!

Yeah, that's the one. I've been there during the day and tried to take pictures, but the bright midday sun makes for unimpressive pictures, not to mention I had to wait for people walking around at the base of the arch to get out of the shot.

Thanks for posting the link!

Just wanted to let anyone who wants to check out my site know I just updated a few shots. They are in the first gallery labeled "Recent". I haven't captioned them yet but they are all from West Palm Beach from the past week. If anyone was at the PJ WPB you heard Eddie talking about the lightning strikes, well these are some of the ones I was able to catch. Let me know what you all think.
