This was one shot out of the stack intended for star trails.
Sunday night was the last for shooting at Big Bend. Shot off the balcony at Chisos Mountain Lodge right in the basin. This place is unreal.

Single 20 second exposure, f 1.4, ISO 3200. Sony A7RV + Sigma 14mm f 1.4.
Grabbed the foreground during blue hour before the clouds moved in. Eventually the skies opened up for about an hour and the wind was absolutely ripping across the mountain the entire time. Definitely one of those hikes that feels worth it the second the stars start appearing overhead. Beautiful place to just lay back on the rocks and take it all in for a while.
This is a composite using a blue hour foreground and separately tracked sky data.

Found this dilapidated mosque in the desert to the south of Abu Dhabi. It’s a converted prefab cabin that’s seems to have been abandoned some years ago based on the condition. The foundation has collapsed on the far side as the desert sands underneath have shifted.

One shot at an alpine lake in Colorado capturing the Milky Way and airglow behind the Rocky Mountains. Processed in Photoshop. I used StarXTerminator to remove the stars to process the scene and process stars separately to keep them from blowing out. ISO 1600, f/2.8, 30s.
Shot this one back in March but only found time to edit it recently. Captured with Sony a6700 + Viltrox 27mm f1.2 Pro. Tracked 5x8 panorama for the skies, each shot at 30s, f1.2 and iso 400. Tracked with MSM Nomad star tracker. For the foreground I shot 4x8 panorama with 30s, f2.8 and iso 1600 for each shot. Stitched in PTGui and PS. Edited in Siril and LR.
Taken with Nikon Z8 and NIKKOR 14-24mm, 14mm, ISO 500, f/5, 30s. Processed in Photoshop. One shot with no composites.
Title says it all.

From the other in far Northern Minnesota I got this 24 image panorama of the Milky Way and Northern Lights. Absolutely love this image, and extremely happy that I could capture it at this location!

Something I've been wanting to shoot a long while, a tree frog with the milky way behind it, but the conditions have always been poor during the short breeding season so I haven't had any luck the last two year. The other night the was a short window between the clouds and I finally got it.
EXIF: Canon R6 mk III - Laowa 15mm F2 - Godox v350
Frog exposure: 1/160 - F11 - ISO4000 - with flash
Star exposures (x11): 15sec - F2 - ISO4000
The orange in the foreground is someone's camp fire.
KOFA - is short for King of Arizona mine, from 150 years ago, who would stamp their gold bars as K of A. KOFA is a 600,000 acre National Wildlife Refuge in Western Arizona, which is a bortle 2 dark area. Signal Peak at 4,200 feet there in the center of the image. Center left is the Phoenix light dome 130 miles away, with a smaller light dome on the right side from Gila Bend, 80 miles away, which is a small farming town south west of Phoenix.
This is a stitch of 2 images (60% overlap) captured using a Pentax K1, and Pentax DFA 15-30/f2.8 at 15mm, ISO 800, f2.8, 70 second exposure using Pentax's internal GPS/Astrotracing capability (star tracking). The overall field of view is about 150 degrees wide. Post-processing used LightRoom, just slightly lifting the exposure, contrast and shadows keeping a very natural looking image. The only source of light was the star light at midnight. In both images, no additional color was added or highlighted.
This was captured on the Palm Canyon entrance road, about 2.5 miles from the base of the mountain, about 5 miles off of US95 - facing east. Palm Canyon is where a unique species of palm trees grows from the canyon walls - the only place on earth where this occurs.
