The Light of a Thousand Suns

I was honored to be on the Podcast "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen" with host Matt Payne. He interviews Landscape and Nightscape Photographers about a variety of topics. His relaxed style makes the podcasts enjoyable and interesting. He helps you see the people behind the photos. You can listen to my interview here:

This photo:
"The Light of a Thousand Suns". This was a bit of a surprise. This is an Overlook of the Little Colorado River in the Grand Canyon before it joins the Colorado River. I had a good night shooting other sites along the Colorado River, and timed the
Milky Way to be over this part of the canyon in the early a.m. When I got there the clouds had rolled in and I was about to pack it in for the night, but decided to give it a try anyway. I was surprised. The clouds were uniformly thin, thin enough for the light of the Milky Way to shine through and illuminate the clouds. The effect turned out to be pleasing, at least to me.

This is a blend of a foreground image and a sky image. Foreground is a stack of 10 images taken at 14 mm, f 2.0, 30 sec., and ISO 3200. Sky image is from same spot at 14 mm, f 2.0, 20 sec., and ISO 12,800.

For more images like this please take a look at Wayne Pinkston Photography .

Thanks for all the kind support! Hope you enjoy! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family. It's a pleasure to post here.
