The Arkansas Sphinx beneath the Milky Way

Grabbed the foreground during blue hour before the clouds moved in. Eventually the skies opened up for about an hour and the wind was absolutely ripping across the mountain the entire time. Definitely one of those hikes that feels worth it the second the stars start appearing overhead. Beautiful place to just lay back on the rocks and take it all in for a while.

This is a composite using a blue hour foreground and separately tracked sky data.

Got lucky this morning while shooting the Milky Way. This was a single 1-minute exposure and I caught a Lyrid meteor ripping through the core.

Sam’s Throne under the stars

Got my blue hour foreground right before the storms rolled in. Only had about an hour of clear skies after they passed early this morning. This is a composite, as the core was facing the opposite direction.
