Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I am really glad you enjoyed this.

It does have that feel with the great rock workmanship.

Thanks!

I appreciate that! It was a beautiful night.

Thank you so much! It's so fun to do, I enjoy watching the night sky all night long.

@@EarthFlow_erPower thank you so much! I am just an instrument to capture the beauty around us, I am glad you appreciated it. I also hope more people can see my photography. I enjoy sharing it. Little by little the channel keeps growing. Hopefully one day something will click and the channel could go viral though, that would be pretty cool.

You are so kind! I am just having fun exploring this beautiful world we live in.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know it was in Vanishing Point. Yeah, I didn't see any active remodeling going in.

Thanks for your other comment. I left you with a bit of info on your question. Just know that no matter what of the 2 options I listed showed you, the gate gets locked and you can't get out until the morning.

Thanks so much for your kind comments, it would be worth the drive. For this image, I actually made sure I was one of the last to leave the park as the Ranger was driving around and getting everyone out. At Sunset I had walked out into a less traveled part of the dunes, and set up my Nikon D850 and Sigma 14mm f1.8 with a battery bank to keep it running all night. I set it at my normal Milky Way settings, and I just let it go and went back to my truck. In the morning, I made sure to get there an hour before it opened and I was the first one in so I could go back and get my camera. I just let it run all night. I figured the gate was locked so it would be safe. :) There is a back country camping area with 10 or 12 sites. It's a mile from the road and so you have to backpack in to it. I have done that so I could be in the park all night a few years back. But it's currently closed for renovations. But thats the only camping allowed there. The only other legit way to be in there and stay in there, is to book onto a Night time Workshop. There is atleast one guy who is running those, but I don't recall his name. You could probably google it or call the rangers and ask them. But of course that will cost you a few hundred dollars at a minimum, just guessing what the person might charge for a single night workshop. It could be more.

@@focalworldphotography5322 I can't get over how smart that is to leave your camera set up like that. Never would have considered doing so. Did the park rangers come out on the trail where you were set up to ask you to leave or did you do your best to estimate no one would be on the trail and you made it back to the parking lot where the park rangers sweep the area? In my example date sunset is 6:47pm. I'm thinking I would need to be back at the alkali flat trailhead making sure no one walks out with my gear and not drive out until the park ranger indicates to do so?

@@markleonard4062 White Sands is huge, so you don't really see Rangers hiking or walking around at all. The occasional drive by, so there was no Ranger to ask any questions. And I just parked in an area where no one else was at, I still looked around, but there was no one anywhere by me. That's part of why I felt safe leaving my D850. If you are able to go during the week, that will in decrease the amount of people in their as well. And there are certain parts, perhaps based on the parking areas that people tend to congregate in. So just pick a spot where people aren't at. As you drive the loop road you can get a feel for it. Also I want to invite you to join www.FocalWorld.com thats a photography site I started about 10 year ago with a bunch of friends. It's small, but we are friendly. :) It would be great to have you there.

@@focalworldphotography5322 hey, thank you for the invite. I'll check it out. Also appreciate the clarification on how to set up out there. Now I need an expanded battery pack and 2 massive SD cards 👍

The White Sands Missile Base is there, so I am not sure what they shot off, but it would have been from there. It's certainly odd looking isn't it?

Thanks!

Thank you so much! A couple of ways to tell the difference between a meteor and a satellite. A Meteor will be a quick one time flash. You can't see it here because the timelapse moves fast, but you will also see in a still photo (like the one at the end) where one or both ends will be pointed. The Satellites will be moving constantly across the sky, or sometimes with the new Starlink Satellites, that will bunch up in an area and it will be a constant bombardment of thin lines in the sky.

Wow....thanks! That's information I didn't know about...well, we might think we know...😁 So, the traffic early on was satellites?! I do have a still photo somewhere of Halebop from maybe 1998? I'll have to look up the name and date😆💜

@@EarthFlow_erPower A photo of Hale Bopp? That would be super cool to see.

@@focalworldphotography5322 it's a souvenir photo... nothing I took a picture of...😁💜

@@EarthFlow_erPower Ha ha, got you! It's still cool to have.

Thanks! The colors were so cool

I appreciate that

Awe!!!! Thank you so much! I did really enjoy how nice that itty bitty Aurora was that night!

It's an amazing show of light... maybe it's bit larger than itty bitty 😆😉 (I had a cat few years back & I called her Iddy Biddy)...the last part with a purple flame....WOW!

@@EarthFlow_erPower Ha ha, that's funny you had a cat with a similar name. And I guess it could be a little larger then Itty Bitty, but after photographing the Aurora a few months ago when the whole sky was filled with it, this felt Itty Bitty at the time. :)

Thank you!

I really appreciate your compliment!

Thank you so much! It's really so beautiful up there, it's like a slice of heaven for sure!

Thanks!

I appreciate that Trent! It can take me 3 to 4 days to assemble a timelapse as I am really picky, and often will redo the raw conversion several times until it looks like I want it to look. Not counting going frame by frame looking for stray lights to remove. that's really time consuming.

Thank you! It was such a beautiful wedding.

Thanks you guys!

I really appreciate that Mike!

Thank you so much! I have a real blast making these video's so I am glad you are enjoying them.

I appreciate that! :)

Welcome to you all the way from Germany! This was shot with the Nikon D850 and the Sigma 14mm f1.8 lens. For me it's the best Milky Way combo there is.

That's a great suggestion. I have captured the Milky Way in another timelapse from near Tonopah. It's a super cool area up there. Thanks!

I really appreciate that!

Thanks!

Yankee Boy Basin is the best one around there. It's out of Ouray, so a little bit away from Montrose. You also can go up Engineer Pass from there and access the Alpine Loop. I can't think of any really good 4x4 roads right by Montrose. There might be, but nothing comes to mind.

Thanks so much, I am happy with how it turned out.

Awe thank you! It was the most beautiful wedding couple ever that made it all work! :)

Yeah, I enjoy doing those. I want to get enough of them to have their own channel one day.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Thanks I am glad you liked it! It was fun to watch.

A great fireworks display matched with a great time!

Thanks!
