For Jeff by Dustin_Wong_Photography

Last year a photographer Jeff Swanson who was actively involved in the landscape community lost his battle with Melanoma. He was an inspiration to many and regarded as a great friend. If you or somebody close has been affected by this disease please click the link to contribute to the Melanoma Research Foundation to find a cure. The shot: I’ve wanted to see this milky way alignment over Mount Rainier, Washington ever since my friend Dave Morrow captured it. Since then, this view has become highly coveted, and on this night there were probably 50+ photographers on site to witness the event. Here is my take on the area. **If you like the recent images, hit that follow button!** Instagram I Facebook via 500px http://bit.ly/1KYMEZg

Double Arch by WaynePinkston

An Arch of Stars and an Arch of Stone. Panorama Of Broken Arch at night in Arches National Park, Utah, USA. This is a re-edit of an image from last summer that I was not happy with. There was a lot of airglow (green) that night. Previously I thought this interfered with the beauty of the sky and tried to get rid of it. In this version I have left it unchanged except for increasing the contrast and vibrance, The glow on the horizon is light pollution from Moab, Utah. This is a panorama of 24 vertical images stitches together in photoshop. Acquired with a Rokinon 24 mm f/1.4 lens at f 1.8, 20 sec exposures, ISO 6400. I am working on a new web site for night photography called After Midnight Photography . via 500px http://bit.ly/19xCAvn
