I love it when you have a job to do, but that job is fun. I was writing an article about night photography around Joshua Tree National Park for a new start-up magazine, "Yucca Brevifolia-The Soul of Desert Living." I thought I would augment the article with some photos from Sky's the Limit Observatory in Twentynine Palms. I perched my camera on a tripod, opened the shutter for a long time, then walked around lighting the subject with a handheld light. This photo shows the apparent movement of the stars over 7 minutes of time.

Bend, don't break. Joshua Tree National Park, my spiritual home for night photography. To create this photo, I perched my camera on a tripod, opened the shutter for 30 seconds, then walked around lighting this subject with a handheld light. The moon, low in the horizon, helped light the rest. Hidden Valley.

Look up to the sky...
The Triangulum Galaxy, also called M33, is one of our Milky Way's closest neighbors, located about 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. It's smaller and less massive than both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. M33 has beautiful spiral arms and lots of young, hot stars.

A detailed view of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), a spiral galaxy located about 2.7 million light-years from Earth. The image shows a glowing core with swirling arms filled with stars, dust, and nebulae, scattered across the dark backdrop of space. Photo was taken at Bubulcus & Bolotas using the Seestar50.
