Little timelapse video I made among the hoodoos in San Juan County, NM. (While there I met a guy driving a big panel truck with some very nice equipment. Said he's making an IMAX movie about the Southwest.) Here's the link to my timelapse:

I made a 3-minute video mostly of the area atop Dance Hall Rock, but also with some stars and timelapse. Not sure where it should go so feel free to move or remove it as you wish. Here's a link to it on flickr:

Smithsonian on their Web site published a little article about the history of the Cosmic Navel. In particular they link to a research report with interesting information. (You have to click through an ad.)...
Like ashergrey I slept in my truck here. Nobody else around but a few people showed up just at sunrise.
"No, officer, I'm not camping. I'm doing star photography."
Yep, those coordinates you gave are the exact place where I descended about halfway and it looked too steep to go further. I'm not saying I couldn't do it, but when I'm by myself I try to be ultracareful. Next time I'm out there I'll go back and check it more carefully. Thanks.
I just got back from a few days along HITR. Mostly the purpose of the trip was just to get outside. I wanted to scope out the Forty Mile - Willow circuit for a later hike after the water gets warmer. My plan was to go down Sooner Wash as far as I could easily go to see what it would be like. At...
I just got back and last Monday there was a dude with a flat tire on HITR about 15 miles in, but he was headed back out to Hwy 12. Because of that and this msg thread, I was ULTRA careful and didn't exceed 20 mph on the fresh rocks.
If you take a timelapse sequence and stack the images all in one frame, you have a timestack. You can use the same software that makes star trails to do this. I use StarStaX. The technique was created by Matt Molloy, and you can read more about it here...
Yeah, it's gotten to be about impossible to get in. The best way seems to be to park yourself in Kanab during some bad weather in winter and show up for the walk-in drawing. It's too bad they don't have separate permits for the Wave (where everybody wants to go) and different permits for the...
I had purchased permits for Coyote Buttes South for three days on the BLM website. It’s easy to get permits this time of year, and it seems like I’m ready to go again whenever February comes around. The dates were Monday, Feb. 3 - Wednesday, Feb. 5.
For weeks we’d had hardly a cloud in the sky...
You got some fine scenes and great light. And I like the first one too, of the reeds. that's a really nice one. But, as you said, you never know until days later if any of them are any good. Sometimes I'll look mine over after a year has passed and find images that I like much better than my...
Also BTW- I stopped at the Wire Pass trailhead as I drove on the way out last Thursday. A couple pulled up and the lady asked if this was where the trail to the Wave started. I told her it was. She asked "Where is the visitor center? Isn't there a visitor center here?" I told her that you need a...
