love how this looks like an enormous large-headed robot walking toward me! Night photo of the starry skies enveloping one of the Big Ears of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, run by Caltech since 1958, located in beautiful Owens Valley CA. This looks like a decommissioned radio telescope. It was not operating and has peeling paint. I feel like in the last several years, every time I photograph the Milky Way in Owens Valley during the summer, there are numerous fires. I lit the radio telescope with a ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. Special thanks to Caltech.
Two meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. I photographed this on a cool morning at Mt. Pinos, California at 8300 ft./2529m in elevation. I laid on my back for two hours in total, looking at the celestial light show while my camera clicked away next to me. "Liyikshup" is the central part of the world for the Chumash where Mt Pinos is, and it felt fitting for this image.
Trees bracketing the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. I photographed this on a cool morning at Mt. Pinos, California at 8300 ft./2529m in elevation. I laid on my back for two hours in total, looking at the celestial light show while my camera clicked away next to me.
