Panorama of the Milky Way above some of the Wind Caves in the Anza-Borrego Desert. To produce this image, I shot 13 vertical frames with my Canon 6D and Sigma 15mm EX DG lens at 20 sec f/2.8 ISO 3200 and then stitched the images together in Lightroom. I illuminated the sandstone caves using a cheap LumeCube knockoff: NEEWER 160 LED CN-160 Dimmable Ultra High Power LED Light. I positioned the light on a hill a few hundred feet away. The weather conditions were prefect for shooting last night - almost no wind, clear skies, and very low humidity. "On the eastern edge of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park lies Split Mountain, the Carrizo Badlands, and a feature known as the Wind Caves. Here, the exposed sandstone of the marine beds from the five-million-year-old Imperial Formation have been slowly eroded by wind into fantastic shapes that evoke whimsical images of boats with portholes, spaceships, and even the fictional town of Bedrock, hometown of the prehistoric Flintstone family."[1] 1.

My camper and a nice sunset in the northeastern part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Shot on April 21, 2018. And yes, I have color-changing LED lights inside my camper.
I shot this about an hour before sunrise - as the sun was already starting to lighten the sky - on March 27, 2018 at Dos Cabezas Siding in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Shot with a Canon 6D and Sigma 15mm EX DG at f/2.8 15 sec ISO 3200.
