Having a little fun before our workshop started. Illumination by @nitecoreflashlight #LA30 ——————— #archesnationalpark #arches #nitecore #nightphotography #milkyway #utah #utahnights #selfie #nightselfie #darrenwhitephotography

It’s always a great time when you can spend international dark sky week under some of the darkest skies in America. We had a few clouds this night which I feel added to the overall feel of the image ——————————- #parkweek @sigmaphoto #sigma20mmart #milkyway #nightphotography #astrophotography #archesnationalpark @archesnps @nationaldestinations @natgeo @national_parks_traveler @nationalparkservice #moab #utah #utahphotographer @recreateinutah @utahtravels @utahunique #sanddunearch #darrenwhitephotography #longexpoelite #longexposure #darrenwhitephotography

When I got home from Moab on Thursday I started looking at the weather forecast for the weekend up in Estes Park, Colorado I had wanted to shoot this scene for over 4 years now but there are only 2 months out of the year where the Milky Way lines up like this over Longs Peak. Take into consideration the moon, weather and work schedules and realistically I was down to about 3 days out of the whole year. So the forecast was calling for snow most of the weekend but clearing off Saturday night into Sunday morning. That part of the forecast never changed from Thursday to Sunday. I trusted my apps even when it was snowing Saturday morning. At midnight we started the hike up to this vantage point and arrived around 1am. We got all set up and the Milky Way began to rise over the peak. We shot here till about 4am. This is just one of the many images I captured but I wanted to share with you probably my least favorite from the batch.. More to follow. Have a great week and it's sure good to be back in Colorado for a little while. ————————————— Nikon D810 @sigmaphoto 20mm 1.4 ART ————————————— 6400 ISO F/2 for 15 seconds 12 images stacked for NR ————————————— #parkweek #nationalparks #rockymountainnationalpark #RMNP #longspeak #milkyway #sigmalens #sigma20mmart #longexposure #longexposurephotography #longexpoelite @longexposure_shots @longexpoelite @amazing_longexpo @amazing.destination @rockynps @visitestespark #estespark @nightphotography_exclusive @nightscape_mastershot @universetoday #darrenwhitephotography #colorado #coloradoliving @coloradotography #coloradotography @coloradocameraclub

Image captured this morning around 3am while watching the meteor shower. Location - Rocky Mountain National Park Camera - Nikon D810 Lens - Sigma 85mm 1.4 ISO 10K F/1.8 5 seconds. I captured 23 images all with the exact same settings and then stacked them to reduce noise. This final image has roughly the same about of noise as an image captured at 200 ISO. —————————————— #milkyway #universetoday @universetoday @milkyway_scientists @milkywaychasers @milkywaymastery #milkywaychasers #galacticcore @sigmaphoto #sigma85mmart @nikonusa #nikonD810 #longexposure #nightphotography #astrophotography #darrenwhitephotography #coloradosky #rockymountainnationalpark @rockynps #nebula #galaxy #earthday2018 #earthday
