This an early attempt at Milky Way photography while in a remote region of Death Valley National Park. My son and I had some time off during summer several years ago and we had a lot of fun exploring the Eastern Sierras for photo locations. Since then it has become one of my favorite locations to visit.
My son and I had a wonderful experience in the Bristlecone Pine forests of the White Mountains a few years ago. During that trip, I had experimented with star trails but had completely forgotten about the images until recently, I decided to clean up my hard drive. I was about to delete the files but then decided to give them a try and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. So, this is my first attempt at star trails.
During our explorations near Moab, we came upon these amazing Petroglyphs that were carved out in 6000 B.C. to 100 B.C. period. It was amazing to spend the night here photographing the Milky Way and imagine what was happening here thousands of years ago.
