We had beautiful skies over Contrabando in Big Bend State Park this past weekend during our astrophotography workshop. Mike was light painting this building when the International Space Station (ISS) flew over. My favorite part of the image.

Contrabando Ghost town in Big Ben State Park, Texas is a really amazing place, especially when the bats came out to feed. During our astrophotography workshop, I pointed my flashlight up for this long exposure. Amazing how it shows thousands of bugs and bats streaking through to feed. What a night!
We had amazing skies over the weekend for the astrophotography workshop I was teaching. This was our last location in the park after spending time in Terlingua Ghost Town and Contrabando movie set. I have not seen skies this bright in a long time. The fireball meteor on the far right was so bright it lit up the horizon! Good times!
Have you experienced a lightning flash, then heard the boom immediately after? This what that looks like! Amazing cloud to ground lightning in the Gypsum Hills of Kansas with Jim Reed and Travis Heying. One of my favorites 🙂 #lightning  #kansas  #nightphotography  #dramatic  #clouds365 ÂÂ

The last shot of the night was of distant lightning, stars and the Milky Way. I could not get the exposure I wanted for the sky because of the lightning flashing every few seconds. I think it is pretty cool anyway 🙂 #clouds365  #lightningphotography  #stormchasing  #nightphotography ÂÂ
