Astrophotography
The Milky Way over hoodoos, pines, and a mountain lake, from Bryce to Glacier. Every frame was made on the night and in the place it shows: nothing borrowed, nothing generated.

A few places to begin
Under the Milky Way and northern lights.
A little before midnight on a June night in 2024, the Milky Way low over the Bryce amphitheater and the hoodoos just holding their shape below it. Bryce is a Gold-tier International Dark Sky Park. At the viewpoints, use only red light: white light ruins everyone's night vision. The 30-second exposure that lets the hoodoos show also stretches the stars slightly, so we offer this one only in the smaller sizes.
