The universe and my favorite tree lit by the rising moon, at the Rocky Knob Recreation Area along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. I have been planning this image for years, and I finally had the opportunity and good enough weather to give it a go. Captured a few days ago. Late August, 2016.
Swirls and stars of the Yadkin River from within the Uwharrie Wilderness in North Carolina. Light painting for the foreground and a 3 image focus stack for sharpness.
Standing below hundreds of billions of stars with my fiancée and cousin in southern Virginia, 2016.
