Royce Bair  > Personal Work > NightScapes
My NightScapes are exposures of the night sky with a landscape feature. All are evening time exposures. The starry night sky with Milky Way are a favorite subject. Special techniques are used with off-the-shelf digital cameras and lenses in order expose the night stars without blurring (trails) them. Some land features are enhanced with light painting. Please note that many images will have considerable "graininess" or digital noise due to the high ISO speeds required to do this type of night photography (capturing the stars and the land features in one unique exposure). DOWNLOADS: Many of my NightScapes are available as HD personal use downloads (about 1920 x 1080 pixels) for $2.99 at my 500px store.

Moon glow from the rising quarter moon, directly behind Balanced Rock, Arches National Park. The midnight moonlight from the rising moon is overpowering all but the brighter stars. However, you can clearly see Pleiades, the Seven Sisters constellation (Messier object 45 or M45) to the right. Light painting for Balanced Rock is coming from a stationary, reflected quartz halogen spotlight (2-million candlepower) about 300 feet away.
Milky Way stars over 'The Organ' in Arches National Park. The Organ has been light painted from a distance of about 700 feet by a single, stationary quartz halogen light (from camera right). The glow on the right horizon is from the moon, which will rise in another 30 minutes. Camera direction is northeast.
Starry night sky and the northern tail of the Milky Way over the light-painted Castle Rock, a sandstone monument in Castle Valley, Utah. The top portion is called Castleton Tower.
Milky Way over The Watchman, Zion National Park. This starry night sky was taken from the South Campground of Zion NP. The right side of the mountain is illuminated by the reflected lights coming from the town of Springdale, a few miles away.
Milky Way stars over Zion National Park. Springdale, Utah is the entrance to Zion National Park, and is surrounded on both sides by the the park. The mountains are illuminated by the reflected lights from this small town. The mountain in the center is called "The Watchman".
Milky Way stars over The Great White Throne, The Organ, and Angels Landing -- all from the bottom Zion Canyon, at the Big Bend turn in Zion National Park.
Starry night sky and the Milky Way over a light-painted Thor's Hammer, in Bryce Canyon National Park
Starry night sky over the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater in Bryce Canyon National Park. I am at Sunset Point, looking south to Inspiration Point.
Stars and Milky Way behind 'The Mask' - Bryce Canyon National Park. This is the northern end of the Milky Way, with many constellations like the Paleiades, or Seven Sisters (star cluster just above right eyebrow of The Mask).
