"The Galaxy Guides Us Home"
I think this might be my favorite new AstroPhotograph I have taken. I have been trying to achieve this shot for a long time now. The hardest part of the process, was finding a road that not only was in area of complete and total darkness, but a road where I could take a panorama and not be bothered by car headlights. It was also a challenge to find a road pointing in the perfect direction to be completely symmetrical with the shape and bend of the Milky Way.
"Rolling Hills & The Galaxy Above"
Sometimes you do not need to travel far away to capture the night sky. This image was taken in Santa Ynez, about 1.45 - 2 hours away from Los Angeles CA. On this specific night the Milky Way was incredibly vivid over the beautiful rolling hills and farmland.
"Strangers In The Night"
My girlfriend and I took a night trip to Santa Ynez, to shoot and watch the Milky Way for awhile. I decided to take this portrait of us, silhouetted against the night sky. I wanted to go with a more artistic abstract approach to this image. I would not normally edit the colors and saturation this heavily. The purple cast at the bottom of the frame was actually there in the image, and the color has just been enhanced to work with the blue tones in the photograph.
Here is an image I took last fall at Mono Lake, California. The image displays a bright moonrise over the Tufas. Tufas are limestone columns, formed from chemical reactions of calcium and carbonates around the body of water. The Tufa towers are really beautiful, some can even form higher than 30 feet tall. I have mixed feelings about the contrails in the frame. I think they add a certain interest in the sky, however, they slightly reduce the natural quality of the image.
I had a lot of fun shooting at Mono Lake, I will be heading back there to shoot more Milky Way images and Timelapse.

"Vivid Milky Way Over The Santa Lucia Range"We went camping in Big Sur a few weeks ago and drove up Nacimiento-Fergusson Road about 3000 feet above sea level to get above the heavy marine layer. I was only able to shoot off a few frames before the fog engulfed us, this is one of those frames. The large mountain range spanning from San Luis Obispo all the way to Monterey County is called the Santa Lucia Range. The stunning range parallels the Big Sur Coastline.

"Beauty and the Beast"
One of the most impressive Bristlecones located in Patriarch Grove, which is deep within the White Mountains CA. There is a very strange and scary beauty to this tree. It looks like it could be a thing of nightmares. Watching the Milky Way behind the incredible silhouette was amazing, even more impressive then shown through the photograph. Now obviously we can not see the milky way quite as good in person. However that night was one of the brightest night skies I have ever seen.

"Glacier Point Intensity"Its going to be hard to believe. But this sunset taken at Glacier Point in Yosemite has not been saturated. The color literally came out this intense in camera. I used the 70-200 to zoom in close to this mountain range and capture the epic clouds above. This was some of the best light I have seen in California, the best part is... this frame was taken from a timelapse EXIF: 1/6 SEC F/6.3 ISO100Please share and visit www.shainblumphoto.com for more
