Moraine Valley near Estes Park, Colorado
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
When is the last time you stepped outside at night and saw something like this? My guess is - never. Skies like this one in Rocky Mountain National Park only exist in a few remaining, rare, truly dark places. As a photographer who specializes in long exposures at night, I see scattered light everywhere, especially near St. Louis where I live. The night sky really is vanishing, washed away by one artificial, unnecessary light after another. This picture is the cover (and the month of June) for the new calendar "The Vanishing Night 2011," featuring 12 landscape photos that capture the disappearing night sky. It is available at
zazzle.com. Shutter: 30 seconds; Aperture: f/1.8; ISO: 800; Focal length: 18 mm.
