We had the opportunity to spend a month near Arches National Park last year (2019). A lot of overcast days and rain reduced the days available for Milky Way photography. However, one of the weather events created some interesting possibilities. When I visited the park, there were small water puddles on the floor of the valley in Park Avenue. This puddle is actually pretty small but looks big due to the use of a wide angle the lens in close proximity to the ground. The Milky Way and reflection in the puddle are from 15 images stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker (ISO 6400/20sec/f2.8). The rock formations are blended in from a single exposure (ISO 800/395sec/f3.5).
Another cool location on the coast of Maine. It required being here during high tide to catch the water reflections that had collected in the tide pool.
One of my first images from Maine. We had a two week delay reaching Maine as my truck down and needed a major resuscitation before we got on the road. Once we got here, we were blessed with some nice clear skies at the right time. This image is from the Monument Cove area in Acadia National Park.
