Sailing Stones of Death Valley by ParchenPhotography

Facebook page for updates Website for full portfolio Sailing Stones; The Racetrack in Death Valley National Park is just one of those locations that must been seen to be believed. These rocks, some weighing hundreds of pounds, have never been seen moving but the evidence is obvious as they leave tracks across this dry lake bed. Aliens? Wind? Unsupervised children? I'm no scientist so I'll just take the pictures for you to enjoy. This spot has been a bucket-list location since I started shooting the night sky and the early summer Milky Way was a perfect reason to head down to California, fight the desert heat, and drive on a very long and nasty dirt road to get there. I may have completely obliterated the shocks on my rental car to get here (seriously, they were gone by the end of the trip), but I guess that's just a sacrifice that I was willing to make. Enjoy!

Panoramic Memories by cwexplorationphotography

++view on black and go full screen for this one++ This is my first ever attempt at a full milky way panoramic. It stretches from looking south toward Astoria, OR and the north to the most northern tip of the Long Beach Peninsula here in Washington. It's comprised of 9 vertically stitched photos, 18mm, ISO 3200, 20 seconds, f/2.8. This location has always held a special in my heart as my dad spent a great deal of time here as a child and kept the tradition alive with me. This photo is a special one not only because of the area it was taken in but also because I was able to shoot the stars with my dad and teach him how to photograph the milky way for his first time. We lost track of time and before we knew it, it was already 2am... It was pretty awesome! Thanks for checking it out sharing is appreciated!
