New on 500px : Rising Sky by Gewitterjagd by Gewitterjagd

Standing above the Earth – Thats how I felt while shooting this scene. Right next to me, cliffs fall about 1000m in the depth of the foggy ocean, on the other side, the mountains raised another 500m and right in front of me the infinit night sky showed it’s best.

It is quite awesome for a mid-European to take photos in places where the light pollution isn’t that high, this are moments we never get to see here at home because of our big cities.

I will definitely go back to that place one day!

New on 500px : Starry Night Over A Barn by BrandtM by BrandtM

After seeing many spectacular shots of the Milky Way, I decided it was time to attempt one myself using a Palouse barn as the foreground canvas. The most rewarding part of the process was just being out there and experiencing the scope and grandeur of it all. It had been sometime since I took the time to pursue viewing the Milky Way in the summer sky. This is one of the great side benefits of our craft, it often forces you to slow down and get out there and experience the wonders of our universe.

This image is a blend of two, the fields and barn were taken a bit earlier in the evening to capture light and detail. It is best viewed on black.

Thanks for looking.

New on 500px : Temple milky way and meteor by wildlifemoments by wildlifemoments

Panoramic of the milky way arch at the Temple of Antas, Sardinia, with a meteor. 12 shots.

The Temple of Antas is an ancient Carthaginian-Roman temple in the commune of Fluminimaggiore, southern Sardinia, Italy. It is located in an area colonised by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans, attracted by its iron and lead deposits.

It consists of a Roman temple, under whose steps are the remains of the Carthaginian one, which was dedicated to the god Sid Addir, a later incarnation of the local god Sardus Pater Babai, the main male divinity of the Nuragic civilization.

Ancient Neighbors; Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, California. This tree may be old (4-5000 years) but it is dwarfed in comparison by the 13.2 billion year old Milky Way that watches above. I first shot here back in October of last year when it was 9 degrees out (with fresh cougar tracks in the snow) and made the decision to come back when the threat of death wasn’t as likely. I’m glad I did since the summer MW is brightest this time of year. Enjoy!

New on 500px : Yellowstone Stars by nightscape by nightscape

Milky Way over Lower Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone National Park. After setting up for this shot, I waited another hour for the Milky Way to rotate closer to the falls and get a better alignment. During the time exposure, I light painted the falls and the canyon with a large studio strobe. Planning, calculations, and building lighting equipment for this shot took almost two months.

Spaces in my 2014 NightScape Workshops schedule are still available.
