Bryce Canyon Utah with short Milky Way animated photo.

Here is another shot from Bryce canyon of the Milky Way without the light pollution from cars driving by. I captured quite a few shots from this location. I found enough to make a short time-lapse clip of the Milky Way to give you a feel for what its like to be in an extreme dark sky location during a new moon. Taking dark sky photo during a new moon lets you capture the stars even more since you have little reflection from the moon. The closer to a new moon you can get when capturing the Milky Way the more brilliant your photo will be.

Working with raw files gives you even more room to edit the details and bring out the colors for your final result. If you decide to do a time-lapse I recommend getting the largest sd card your camera can take in order to have enough room for multiple captures on a single card. Extra batteries and sd cards are also a must when doing long exposure captures for extended periods of time. I often use a camera grip in order to be able to use two batteries to extend the length of my time lapse captures. Warm clothing and a small pop up shelter and a fold-able chair can be nice if you plan an hour or longer capture.

The first two animations are faster with the final one being 2x slower so you can choose which one you like the most.

Thanks again for your support and helping me to keep doing what I love!
