Busy Summer moving but here are some pictues from Spring this year

[carld]

Took some pictures in Dallas when we had rain and made a trip out to Big Bend, City of Rocks NM, and Shiprock. The rest of the summer spent downsizing from 4 bed 3 bath in Plano TX to a 2 bed 2 bath on an acre in Decatur TX. Anyway here are some pictures from earlier this year.

Looks like something from a different planet. Pretty cool!

[SIZE=10pt]It's my third try with the Shiprock picture. Before there was too much noise in the foreground. An interesting phenomenon is the green in the foreground. This was a really dark new moon night. I believe that the green is from ionization in the upper atmosphere. Normally everything is yellow and dry. The combined shot is 23664 x 6657 pixels taken with a Sony full frame a7rii and a manual focus Tokina 20mm f/2 lens. [/SIZE]

Hi Carl, absolutely beautiful photography, especially your NM night shots. A coworker and I (both from NM) were wondering if you'd share your lens, f-stop, shutter speed info. with us for those balanced rock and Shiprock pics? We're just getting into night shots and we have a lot of darkness out here in Nevada and would appreciate any help you can give us.

Thanks in advance.

These are excellent images! I can appreciate the time and effort in both capturing and processing. I particularly like the city of rocks image for the foreground lighting. It gets the perfect balance of foreground level against the starry sky. Well done!
