The people there were kind, generous, and welcoming, and made my brief stay a total joy.

I was able to take some night sky photos, as well as day photos, on the grounds of this beautiful retreat, and figured I’d share them with you. I had the pleasure of staying overnight at the remote Pine Mountain Buddhist Temple, located in rural Ventura County, up in the mountains, sort of between Ojai and Frazier Park. Location: Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA Light painted with handy-dandy flashlight.

Use your imagination, and perhaps you can see the Three Wise Men – Los Reyes Magos – in the rock formations here in this photo taken in Joshua Tree National Park on a cold winter day. We discuss long exposure, night sky, star trails, and coastal long exposure photography, as well as lots of other things, so I hope you can join us!Īnd you can go to the Ken Lee Photography website, which has more photos from Ken Lee. You can see more of these photos here on my Ken Lee Photography Facebook Page (poke your head in, say hi, and “like” the page if you would, uh, like). Location: Pine Mountain Buddhist Temple, Maricopa, Callifornia, USAĮquipment: Nikon D7000, Tokina AT-X 116, Feisol tripod. Photo begun probably about 8:40 pm D.S.T. I did light paint the tall pine tree with a Streamlight LED flashlight but then decided it looked better without it and got rid of that frame. This is a long exposure night sky photo of 23 and a half minutes in total, with each individual photo exposed for 30 seconds at f/2.8 ISO 800, stacked “by hand” in CS4.

If the clouds are relatively insubstantial (thin) and are moving along, the star trails will still come out…and if the clouds are lit up by the setting sun, light pollution, or something else, they can make for some colorful night sky images. It is possible to create star trails with clouds.
