"Night Sky over the Lick Observatory" I was chasing the Perseid meteor shower, but didn't end up with meteors! I did come away with some shots of the night sky and Milky Way above the Lick Observatory! With San Jose and Silicon Valley down below there is quite a bit of light around as you can see in the bottom right hand corner of the image. I saw a few super bright meteors but of course my camera was pointed in wrong place. I kept asking them to fly in front of me, but they just weren't listening! Wish I was in Yosemite watching them overhead!

  • "Stars and Galaxies along the Great Ocean Road"  Victoria, Australia.  It was a dark moonless night and I had a business trip taking me to Melbourne, Australia.  I headed down along the Great Ocean Road where is it DARK when there isn't any moon!  The stars were absolutely amazing!

  • El Capitan with Stars at Night.   I was shooting out in El Capitan meadow on a beautiful clear night after a long weekend.  I wanted to try to capture as much as possible to remember the weekend.  There is a climber and lantern about half way up on the right hand side (2/3 across El Cap) near the tree line.  I can't imagine camping out up there!  It was cold enough just being in the valley.  I have another image with my super-telephoto where I captured just his lamp flashing around.
