Summer Solstice
8 hour exposure; Solstice moon arcing in the southern sky |
|
| On Summer Solstice, when the sun is high in the sky creating the longest days of the year, the full moon arcs low through the southern sky. Here in the La Sal Mountains, an oasis in the desert, a small pond reflects the moon while wind and aquatic life rustle the water's surface. | |

Mount Peale Reflection |
|
|
| "Mount Peale
Reflection" is essentially a film test I made while in the LaSals. I proofed the composition
and exposure on Polaroid film. Then, I pre-exposed Ilford film
anticipating the moontrack later that night. The moon's trail is
reflected behind the evergreens, setting behind Mount Peale in the
reflection. These images were all made the night before Solstice as
I looked for the proper location to shoot.
