Paul, what did you do to all the people in Ojai?

I suppose I should have showered that morning . Seriously it was high noon and everyone was finding a shady & cool place to have lunch!

Just your basic Milky Way Astrotracer shot on a K-3ii with the lens at 18mm over Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah



90 seconds, ISO1600 at f/3.5

Wow, three ones in a single shot.
Did you use only the 18-135 or something else? Diopters or what?

I just used the lens at 135mm and nothing else. I use this lens more than any other.

Some mildly smoking dunes from a light wind. WR quite important. Everything full of sand

I just finished looking at more of your Nambia photos on Fliker and that is one very brutal desert and there is a surprising amount of beauty if you just
look beyond the harshness of it all. Thanks for sharing, cliff

Thanks for sharing, cliff

Thanks Cliff

It is a beautiful place and some areas not easily go to, but when you get there, you feel as if you can just point the camera anywhere and it will come out nice. But it is windy, dusty cold, foggy, hot and sandy. So you get stuck as well

I really enjoy the stark beauty of your photos - great work!

Wow. Just wow. That has to be one amazing (and unforgiving) place.
