This last weekend my friend Mike and I took a random trip in the middle of the night to Joshua Tree National Park. It was my first time there and his first time doing night photography. After the 2 and a half hour drive, seeing the landscape and amazing stars, I knew it was worth the drive. It is possibly my new fav place to do night shots. We also were surrounded by coyotes… 4 or 5… really close…Mike asked in a panic if he could run to the car…I appreciated that he didn’t just up and leave me without asking…such a gentleman. But we were brave enough to keep shooting through the night…just in a place down the road a bit.
