Some of you may remember the photo I posted a while back that is a still from this time-lapse. Here is the short time-lapse video I created from that series of long exposure photos. Its looped so you can get a good look at the shooting stars and other objects that move through the sky.
Lately I have been capturing time-lapse clips and photos of the Bighorn fire at night here in Tucson,AZ. It has consumed over 65000 acres and continues to rage with firefighters risking their lives to contain it in 100+ degree temperatures.

I took this photo in Tucson Arizona on a lonely road very early in the morning. I edited in lightroom to bring out the color and detail in the Milky Way

Have you ever lit steel wool on fire and swung it around over the top of your head? I was fortunate enough to have a friend who was willing to do just that while I took some photos of the burning wonder. Its a really cool experiment and you can get different results depending on your exposure and direction you swing the steel wool.
I captured this panoramic shot while looking for places with interesting landscape to capture the milky way. This is three photos combined in order to capture the full glory of the milky way. I used lightroom to edit and to stitch the three photos together. It was a perfect new moon night with no clouds and only slight light pollution from the city in the distance. It was a pretty cold night, cold for Arizona anyways but nothing like what others are experiencing with snow and ice.

This is a shot at one of the scenic view stops encountered while driving through Bryce Canyon. The small light path on the right is probably from a satelite moving through the frame during the long exposure.
This mountain in the Gates pass area of Tucson is very close to the city and you can see the impact of that on the left side of the photo. Tucson is the headquarters of the International Dark-Sky Association and has quite a bit of information about how we can all limit light pollution.
This is four photos combined to create a larger panorama
