    The Airglow was overflowing on this night in Death Valley. Watch the green and magenta colors dance in the night sky. Check out this Northern Lights Video I also captured. • Northern Lights at Spl...

    People that live in dark sky areas are so darn lucky! Here in the Northeast you can barely see a handful of stars. Gorgeous video.

      Thanks so much! I have friends that live in the Northeast so I understand! Usually once you are west of the Mississippi the sky really gets dark.

      our desert over here is amazing checkout videos of deathvalley national park and joshua tree national park, camping there is the most amazing experience, the mojave desert basin is so vast, much without cell service its a little frightening being out there with all the critters, charles manson and his family hid out in deathvalley for 2 years at abandoned barker ranch

    Spent a night at Eureka Sand Dunes in Death Valley. Nothing more surreal than looking at the twinkling stars while the sand dunes hum their nightly song.

    it really is like that, DVNp the most amazing place on earth, in 1971, 3 weeks after my 5th grade year, a teacher took 4 boys, 2 dads went in a ford pickup, we camped on the valley floor 75 yards from golden canyon trailhead, in just a sleeping bag and pillow no tents around a bonfire after a middle aged couple running furnace creek campground told us about 3 rattlesnakes that could ruin your trip, when we got there it was june, the thermometer at the campground read 132% in the shade and it froze overnight, we hiked golden canyon, darwin falls, ubehebe crater and drove the bonejarring 3 hour road to the racetrack playa, i actually cried after we left to go home in the shitty san joaquin valley, scotty's castle was amazing too

    I wish everyone can see the stars like this on the daily.
    Or some Odd reason , when you see stars like this it really makes you question a lot of things , especially Life. Makes your life and everything in it so small and insignificant to the vast world you just witnessed with your own eyes. The more you experience Earth and mothernature the more you'll realize what kind of a bubble society we live in. It's a shame people cannot see this in big cities, just surrounded by toxicity and stress and overwhelming amount of greed , dog eat dog world where some don't even help you , instead kick you while youre down.
    Take me back to the days of Indians and Mayans so I can live in peace and just watch the sky all day. I wish the word THANK YOU was currency and the old saying "I am a man of my word" actually held some ground. Why can't we just help each other to live love laugh? Instead you want to be better than the next person and leave them behind. Sorry for the rant i just got into it lol

      I appreciate that so much! I don't recall off the top of my head which month this was captured in, it was last year. It was close to a new moon. I actually prefer the moon not to be totally gone for my still photography of the Milky Way. I like to have a little bit of the moon up in the sky as soft moon light is the best light painter there is to help brighten up the ground a bit to bring out more details there too.

    • @focalworldphotography5322

      It's dark skies, you will see stars any night there isn't clouds. But if you are referring specifically to the Milky Way, then March to May will be your best time. The Milky Way is at it's best April to August, but starting in June it gets really hot in Death Valley, and it may not be as enjoyable.

      This is a timelapse. I am shooting continuously all night long with a 25 sec shutter speed. It gets too dark use video at night. So I have my camera shoot all night long at 25 secs and then I assemble each photo as a frame in a video. So basically I am converting all night photos into a video. This would be almost 2000 photos.

      @@rhetta9826 No pauses at all. If there were gaps, satellites and planes would be jumping across the screen, the stars would move too much and so it would look jerky. I set my camera to 25 seconds and then with a Remote Release, I just lock it in so that it continuously triggers the shutter all night long.

      No color grading, these are photos taken and processed in photoshop, then assembled as a timelapse. The photo settings I believe were 25 second shutter speed, ISO 3200, f2. I use a Remote Release, lock it in and take about 1700 photos during the night. I batch process them in Adobe Camera Raw, assemble the timelapses in Photoshop.
