Star Trails over Crater Lake
Exposure Time: 2 Hours
Without a tracking setup, long exposures of stars will reveal their apparent rotation around the north star due to the earth's continual rotation. I was surprised that from 1-3am, there was always at least one other photographer at the same location. Night photography must be getting popular.

Exposure Time: 30 seconds Light pollution in Joshua Tree is minimal compared to most places in California, but is still easily seen on the horizon from the big cities hundreds of miles away. |
 Milky Way Core over Mineral King Peak
Exposure Time: 8 seconds This short exposure of 8 seconds found a happy balance with just enough moonlight to illuminate the foreground while preserving contrast in the Milky Way. |
