Beaver Meadows and Monument Rocks, night sky.

Recently I had the opportunity to do night sky photos in 2 amazing yet different places, 2 days apart. Beaver Meadows (left) and Monument Rocks (right). Both nights were clear but the new moon was much brighter at Monument Rocks. The additional light was good for lighting up the rocks but it made the Milky Way much dimmer. At Monument Rocks I used 1 – 2 f-stops less.

Regardless, I enjoyed the amazing nights with a couple of good friends.
