We had some really nice conditions in the morning after a furious windstorm the night before. These dunes are rarely visited so footprints aren't usually a concern. But the wind definitely help smooth out all the sand and created nice ripples to work with. I shot this with my 11mm lens since I wanted to capture a good amount of sky with the great clouds we had.

This image was captured during our workshop last week out at Reflection Canyon. It's a long hike out there and for some participants this was their first experience backpacking. Definitely a great destination for your first time! This panoramic was stitched together from around 6 vertical images. We started taking foreground shots in the blue hour and continued into the night hours. The water was very calm at Blue Hour but as we neared astronomical twilight, the wind started picking up. After it got completely dark the stars became blurry streaks as they reflected in the wind-blown water. So I was glad we took the blue hour shots with the added bonus of the nice glow on the background cliffs! The sky was stacked from several different high ISO exposures for additional noise reduction.

This has always been one of my favorite places to shoot Milky Way. I thought it would be fun to get 3 photographers lined up on the sand dune, so we hauled a bunch of extra tripods up here and got in position. Low level lighting was used to illuminate the chamber. 6 shots were stacked for noise reduction in the sky and the foreground was shot at ISO 800 for 160sec to get rid of the high ISO blur. The end result is a very clean and detailed image. We offer on-demand Milky Way workshops during the new moon periods each month. Visit our website at www.ActionPhotoTours.com to learn more.

Here is a shot taken during one of our Milky Way Workshops last year with Ryan Smith. We sure had a fun time photographing the night sky! And not every shot needs to include the galactic core of the Milky Way. Night photography can be so addicting. Time can fly by so fast because you're having so much fun! Tune in to my presentation on night photography to the Nashville Camera Club tonight at 7:15PM CST. We'll be broadcasting it on Facebook Live!

Coyotes are one of my favorites of Yellowstone's Winter wildlife, especially with their thick winter coats! Our workshop group got to photograph this coyote while he was "mousing". That is when they dive into the snow hoping to catch a meal, which is why he has so much snow on his face. But I liked this shot the best from the series as he stands stoically looking for the whereabouts of his next meal. An interesting fact - foxes are about 80% successful when they mouse in the snow, but coyotes are only about 20% successful.
